NBA playoffs Day 1: Rough start for home teams

msai Ujiri threw out the ceremonial first expletive just prior to the start of the NBA playoffs on Saturday. The F-bomb was a perfect way to start a postseason the swears to be entertaining. Heck, Blake Griffin eventossed a cup of water on a Golden State Warriors fan.

The opening day of the playoffs let us know just how irrelevant all that effort to stake homecourt can be, as three of the four road teams stole a Game 1. The only top seed to win was the Oklahoma City Thunder, a product of an MVP-style night from Kevin Durant. Meanwhile, the Pacersfolded, the Clippers failed to execute down the stretch and the Raptors looked more starry-eyed than their fans after the GM just went Eminem on Brooklyn.
