Best and worst of the first two rounds of the playoffs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, it's been a whirlwind ride. Six series in seven different cities have
given me a pretty fair taste of what these playoffs have been about. From
last-second shots to fourth-quarter (and third-quarter) meltdowns to
misadventures with flame retardant, we've had a lot to digest over the past
month or so.

So now that I'm back in Hollinger HQ for a couple of days, it's time to take
a look back and commemorate what's happened in the first two rounds so far.

I'll do it the only way I know how: by passing out a bunch of awards.
Through two rounds of the playoffs, here's how I'd hand out trophies if it
were up to me:

That's an easy one.

Why would they want a do-over? Anita says the stores will be filled with
Darko shoes by next year!

I think it may be time to retire the old phrase "silk purse out of a sow's
ear" and replace it with "Get Stuckey by trading Darko."

He's 6-5 in the same way that Ben Wallace used to get listed as 6-9.

Good choice here.
