IC Cold Links: Playoffs Heating Up

Here are a few links of interest after another night of playoff mayhem last night:

• Bruno's latest Caught in the Web offers some props to Jermaine O'Neal for his playoff play of late.
• Mike Wells contemplates points guards and power forwards that the Pacers may covet in the June NBA draft.
• Speaking of the draft, Pacers.com takes a peek at which players are projected for the Pacers' pick in the various mock drafts popping up around the interwebs. Can't help but chuckle at the variety of players linked to the Pacers. There are nine different players projected in the ten mocks and the only repeat player is Craig Brackins who is no longer in the draft.
• Bob Ryan recaps Game 5 from the wild Celtics vs. Bulls series.
• The NBA playoffs are providing plenty of first round drama. The Bulls/Celtics is simply must watch. Dwight Howard will have to sit out Game 6 against the Sixers for the flagrant elbow which opens up an opportunity for Phillly. The Blazers have to find a way to get it done in Houston, but the good news is they'll have that chance. Miami and Atlanta begin a best 2 out of 3 tonight and no one can predict what will happen with these two teams. Backs are against the wall, tensions are rising and it will only get better from this point forward. Enjoy tons of great coverage from across SB Nation for all of the playoff games. Check it out.
