All teams with Lithuanian players made it to the play-offs. Cavaliers or Wizards will be knocked out already in the first round. Cavs are a better team at the moment so I'm sure they will progress.



Linas Kleiza is in a great form at the moment and I hope he gets much playing minutes in the play-offs. It will be really hard to overcome Spurs though.

Yeah, Kleiza had a great game (his double-double one).



I don't follow the NBA - AT ALL.



But I love seeing Lithuanians doing well.

Grr, we got the Nuggets, who we just lost to at home 100-77 in the final game of the season. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

The team was composed of bench players, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili didn't play.

Yeah, I was about to say - the main players were on the bench. Didn't mean anything, really.



But again - Kleiza did pretty well. Hope he keeps it up.

Pistons won the series 4-0 and they will face Bulls in the next round as they have also won their series already.



Here's the play-off tree <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Miami Heat got swept as a champ in the first round. Last time a champ was swept in the first round was in 1957!
