No downtime after taking seven games to beat the Rockets, but we're in the Western Conference Finals nonetheless. As usual, SS&R has contributed a series preview to Yahoo! Sports' official NBA blog, Ball Don't Lie. SB Nation's Nuggets blog, Pickaxe And Roll, also contributes a preview from the Nuggets' perspective, and it's well worth the read. Head on over to BDL, and check it out!

Once you're done, come back over here, and stick around — we've got a busy lineup here at SS&R for the day, as we get geared up for the Western Conference Finals. Lots of great stuff coming your way.
