If you are like me, you can get slightly overwhelmed this time of year trying to keep up with your favorite sports teams.  The NHL playoffs are still going on, Baseball is really picking up, players are reporting for NFL pre-season camps, and the NBA playoffs are as action packed as ever.

And since the Celtics are making a run for the Championship, you had better know where to get your information, so you don’t sound like a clown at the water cooler.  Look no further, here is your complete guide to following the NBA playoffs on Pinyadda.

First, let’s start with topics.  The NBA topic will provide you with the posts about everything going on around the league from many more sources than you could try to keep up with on your own.  To narrow your scope, we’ve got you covered with individual topic feeds for every team in the league as well.  The best part about the team feeds is the ease at which you can read the articles from all of the teams hometown newspapers, and catch team specific news from the hundreds of NBA blogs.  Still contending for the title are the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic, LA Lakers, and Phoenix Suns.

Next, here are the top 6 sites that will give you court side seats to the rest of the NBA playoffs (slightly biased of course, we are IN Boston).

6. Bright Side of The Sun – Dedicated to Phoenix Suns Basketball since 2006.

5. The Lakers Nation – Because Kobe’s blog just won’t cut it.

4. Howard the Dunk –  No arguing the title of this one.

3. Celtics Town – Where ‘Red’ is far more than a color.

2. Red’s Army – No explanation needed.

1. NBA.com – This was a layup.

Last but not least, here are a few NBA power users you need to follow:

Josh Nespoli – Yadda Score 688; Last comment “Bill Russell changed the way the game is played. He joined with Elgin Baylor to make it a vertical game. He won more titles than anyone. I believe he’s the only player-coach to win a title. And as Link alluded to, Russell’s impact on race in sports – not just basketball – makes him someone to be revered.

Larry is a legend. He saved basketball. But Russell’s legend transcends sports. He, in my opinion, is the single most important athlete in NBA history, and should be the winner of this tournament.”

Ryan Shores - Yadda Score 505; Last comment “You’ve got Rondo’ed”

Roy Smith – Yadda Score 673; Last comment “This play by Rondo sums up the whole series…”

Kipp Visi - Yadda Score 507; Last comment “Ray was hot, no idea why we didn’t keep setting picks to get him open. Instead we decided to be macho and do 1 on 1s and throw up rushed shots and have Rondo post up in the paint? Weird play down the stretch.”

There you have it, everything you need to know to follow the NBA playoffs.  Go Celtics!
