After these little moments of joy, let's get back to the real stuff. The NBA playoffs have just started this week-end and it hasn't dissapointed us yet. We had a first surprise with the opening game between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls. The second is known as a young team without experience. But on saturday night the « Baby Bulls » have knocked out the 2008 champion. A first surprise and probably not the last one.
