Need to Know NBA Playoff Guide

Monday, 16 May 2011 | by Pat's Picks

The NBA playoffs are well underway and in today’s Wall Street Journal sports columnist Jason Gay answers all your questions. From the best to watch the semi-final games (“Kobe Bryant’s living room is comfortable but gloomy.”) to who has the league’s best tattoo (“Easy. Across his chest, Bulls coach Thibodeau has a tattoo of Bill Walton wrestling a giant squid.”), Gay covers just about everything.

A sampling of the other topics Gay addresses (be sure to click through above for the full list):

What’s LeBron going to say if he pulls it off and wins a championship? Unclear. But he has promised he will first run it by Cleveland before letting the rest of us know.

I’m from Seattle and I will sooner drink pet-shop espresso than cheer for Oklahoma City. Whom should I support? The Sacramento Kings, and discount vodka.

Let’s get a Finals prediction. Miami recovers from Game 1 humiliation, solves Chicago and later beats Dallas in six. LeBron and Dwyane Wade carry tridents while riding upon victory dolphins in a parade. Dan Gilbert smashes his Commodore 64 with a hammer made from frozen teardrops and Art Modell’s hair.
