That was a great game last night. I can't believe how Tim Thomas played. I hope Saturday isn't a big letdown. I want DOUBLE OT!
I want Kobe to sprain a .....something.
Two of the last three Suns-Lakers game were fabulous. I don't see the Lakers coming close tomorrow, but one never knows. I'm now just looking forward to the possibility of Phoenix against either Dallas or San Antonio. I'm thinking either or those matchups could be a bunch of fun to watch.

It'd be even better if Stoudemire had been healthy.
ready for the big game? I don't want to jinx Phoenix, but I hope they win. Rise from the ashes indeed.
A great series just wrapped up by Cleveland...Arenas was the hero in regulation...and the goat in OT.

they wuz robbed - LeBron took FOUR steps on the way to the game-winning layup. He even admitted to walking after the game.
superstars definitely get the benefit of the doubt from the refs in the playoffs.
don't believe me?
go ask byron russell...
Phoenix advances. Huge lead.
I have no dog in the Clippers/Suns race. I'm watching Cleveland/ Detroit and Dallas/Spurs.
Well, that was one of the biggest let-downs of the playoffs yet. A game 7 blowout? That sucked.
I think the Eastern conference is pretty much a foregone conclusion. None of those teams can beat Detroit. In fact, I'd be surprised if the Pistons lose more than two more games before the finals.
The west is interesting though. Dallas/San Antonio looks to be a very entertaining series.
I agree, espcially given the hype and previous games, that really sucked.
As for the second round, there are a ton of blowouts and the games aren't nearly as interesting as the first round. I see to always turn on the games a few minutes into the first quarter and by then one team already has a 10-15 point lead.
The Clippers looked pretty solid last night, and I was shocked to see that Radmonovic dunk against Maroin, who knew?
The first 2 second round Heat games were bizarre. Neither team stands a chance against the Pistons IMO
Yeah, I know what you're saying especially with all the changes Heat made it seems they've only reverted (regressed) their team. It's even come to the point where NJ Nets unfortunately have made improvements to their team which they showed against the Heat by stealing home advantage. I still think it was a fluke for NJ Nets though.
I think its a little bizarre how some playoff series are going. A blowout by one team, then a blowout by the other. The one that looks pretty predictable and sane is the Pistons/Cavs. If you were a novice observer of basketball playoffs, it would almost appear as if there was some staging going on - no clear superiority getting established - and the stats don't have these teams that close.

I don't think it's quite that predictable any more. In the beginning I chose the Pistons to win myself. However hearing R. Wallace being his oldself again I wanted to change my decision back to the Cavs again. Even though I chose Pistons to win. I really hope the Cavs can pull off the upset and shut R. Wallace up.
I can't believe Sheed is OUT! UGH! This is going to be ugly.
They showed the Palace after the game and everyone was just standing there, looking dumb founded. And the Pistons all looked like "WTF?" but I think they got what they deserved. They played like crap and that's what happens when the other team wants it more than you. So disappointing.
Rip hasn't been playing well since he hurt his ankle. Sheeds out for the next game....
Honestly, I think that Detroit is out. Flip is so in trouble.

...but that's how I feel about it. I am pissed at Detroit. They are better than they've been playing.
I did like when Billups turned away from the ref and said "blow me" on national television.
