Look at that, a power I didn't even know I had!

Last night's games could not have gone any better for me.

Golden State buried Portland guaranteeing that they make the playoffs. The Lakers beat Sacramento, meaning that Golden State gets to face off with Dallas in the first round. (Note this date, I was rooting for the Lakers.) And then the Clippers lost to the Hornets, which just reinforces the other two outcomes and gives the Hornets a nice win at the end of the season.

I'm not too worried about taking the Lakers in a best out of seven. I'm even going to go out on a limb and say that with the way things sit this year, I think it won't even get as far as seven games like it did last year.

The thing that really excites me though, to get back to the games last night, is Golden State versus Dallas. The Warriors have gone 3-0 against the "unbeatable" Mavericks this season. I'm hoping this means that they can translate that kind of play to post-season wins, and eliminate Dirk et al in the first round. If it doesn't mean that, then at the very least I think they will wear the Mavs out, and maybe even take it to seven.

I cannot wait until Sunday. (Yes, I know that the playoffs start on Saturday. But that's not so much true if you're a Suns fan.)
