306

The 2006 NBA playoffs' first round was as intense as the previous year, with the battle between the Lakers and the Suns being a classic series for the hall of fame.

This was because both sides brought five games full of entertainment and two games that would definitely enter ESPN's "NBA Classic Games" channel. This was created by two extraordinary players (Kobe/Nash), and three impressive heroics (Kobe's double The Shot in G4, Tim Thomas's clutch three-pointer in G6) that made it one of the most watchable first-round series in recent times.

However, Yu Fei and the Bucks didn't care how the Suns and Lakers clashed like fire meeting ice in the first round; they only cared about the result of the game between the Knight, ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the Wizards, ranked fifth.

Although the Cavaliers had the higher ranking, before the game, the outside world believed that the Wizards were more likely to advance to the semifinals, as James was too young.
