The Finals are over, the NBA playoffs are done for 2008 and it is time to put a wrap on teh season. Even though it is still fresh in everyone’s minds we thought it was worth a look back at some of the best moments of the 2008 NBA postseason courtesy of YouTube.

First Round

Celtics survive a Game 7 against the Hawks. Forgot all about that nasty foul on Rondo by Marvin Williams.

——————–

The Wiz yapped a lot and put up a fight but in the end there was way too much LeBron for the Wizards to advance. This dunk is just sick.

——————–

Dwight Howard was too much for the Raptors and the Sea of Red. He was a beast on the inside as the Magic won in five.

——————–

The Pistons started their march to a possible title by getting off to a slow start against the Sixers. Here are the best plays from that series.

——————–

The Lakers started the playoffs on fire, they swept the Nuggets in easily the most embarrassing opening round matchup.

——————–

The Suns-Spurs series in my opinion was over after Game 1. Tim Duncan hitting that three to force double OT was the dagger. Look at what happened to the Suns since.

——————–

I thought the Mavs were going to take out the Hornets using experience. Boy I was wrong, those Hornets are young and feisty and should be one of the best next season. Here is the top 10 plays of that series.

——————–

Utah sends T-Mac and the Rockets home once again, mostly because Houston had no answer for Deron Williams.

——————–

That ends Round 1, here is a great video full of the best highlights of the opening round.

Second Round

I know the Celtics won in seven but once again I have to show a LeBron dunk. You know the one, where he has “no regard for human life.”

——————–

Howard hurt his hand, Billups did the splits and Stuckey stepped up big. But in the end it was Prince who seemed to push the Pistons to a series win over the Magic. Here are the top 10 plays.

——————–

One of my favourite series to watch was the Hornets and Spurs. It was long and nasty and in the end the Spurs showed they were still the team to beat. Here is a replay of the wicked intro TNT had for Game 7.

——————–

The Lakers keep on rolling as they take out the Jazz in 6 games.

——————–

Third Round

I was cheering for the Pistons to win but in the end Boston figured out how to win on the road and Paul Pierce was too much to handle. Celtics in six.

——————–

Kobe, Kobe and more Kobe. That was the key as the Lakers made quick work of the Spurs. Best part of the playoffs seeing the Spurs finally lose.

——————-

Here are some of the best plays from the first three rounds put together to some rim thumping tunes.

The NBA Finals

Well we all just watched it, no point in showing it.

Congrats to the Celtics, you made ESPN the happiest place in the world.
