Here's a quick NBA Playoff update from "San Antonio"
Four teams are one win away from advancing to the next round of the NBA playoffs. Boston, Houston, Philadelphia and Milwaukee all have three wins in the first round. The San Antonio Spurs missed an opportunity to take a 3-1 lead against the Nuggets on Saturday. I've attended many Spurs playoff games over the years and I must admit, yesterday's crowd appeared to be too relaxed, perhaps they were recovering from the "Fiesta Week" festivities here in San Antonio. Denver even the series at 2 games a piece.
So far in these playoffs, it appears that Milwaukee is the most feared team in the Eastern Conference, we will have to wait and see if they can sustain this momentum heading into the conference semi finals.
Join MeanGene and David Ramon next week here on iHeartRadio with more from the NBA playoffs.

The 2019 NBA Playoffs are here. Join the Sports Kings throughout the NBA Playoffs as we bring you our insights and analysis as we countdown to the NBA Finals, which will start on May 30, 2019.
The Eastern Conference playoffs will be a little bit more exciting than usual. Milwaukee, Toronto, Boston and Philadelphia are all capable of making it out of the East. Most importantly, Lebron James will not be in their way this year.
Over in the Western conference, all eyes will be on the Golden State Warriors as they attempt to become the first team since the 2000, 2001 and 2002 Los Angeles Lakers to go back- to- back- to- back. The Houston Rockets have reloaded and should be better prepared for another deep playoff run, that is if they can get past the Warriors in their potential second round match up.
Stay with us, its going to be an exciting NBA postseason.
