I will never, ever, ever cheer for Kidd.


Detroit's taking care of business, in the same situation that we're going to be in tomorrow night.

I was surprised when everyone was saying that Dallas was gonna win even though NO had a better record and has been consistent all year.  I have been saying all along that NO is one of the most underated teams.  The thing is that they have the makeup of a full TEAM.

Just think about it, they have a great PG that can spread out that is playing out of his mind.  They have a good scorer in David West, a big player that can shoot and take it to the hoop.  Also, when he's on, he's getting to be one of the best in the league (kind of like when Pierce would catch on fire, or Kobe, and LJ).  They have a great shooter in Peja that even though he's missed a step, he can still shoot.  They have a great rebounder and shot blocker in Chandler, and now Wright is playing great making their bench even deeper.  They also play relatively good D too.

Basically, I think of them as the anti-Knicks.  Not a lot of GREAT players (except Paul), but a team that when playing when they believe on the system, can surprise a lot teams.

Anyway, sorry, that was a random ramble about NO.  I haven't even seen the game yet, but it seems like they're taking care of business.  I hope we don't face them.  And Dallas, overated!

The Mavs looked very similar to the way the Celts looked last night ... very little passion, no sense of urgency, poor shot selection, and up and down defense. Too little too late ... Dallas has got some real tough decisions to make this off-season.

Suns-Spurs Round Five, I'm expecting a top game here from both sides. Spurs will close it out tonight.

Suns haven't started well. Look a little angsty out there, unsure of themselves.

Big Shot Bob strikes from deep!...with a 'little shot' (at least as far as significance is concerned) to extend a early Spurs lead to 30-22.  I've been a booster of his from afar for years and just can't get enough of this guy.  Could be his last playoff run, and I'm milking it for all it's worth.

The Spurs-Suns has been well lots of missed shots. Tony Parker and Boris Diaw are the only guys shooting well. Put everybody else together and they're below 40%.

Amare Stoudamire, why have I not been watching you more???

It's really wierd, it looks like the Suns have stopped running plays for him. Or at least they're running nowhere near as many plays for him. I'd be surprised if it's even half the amount he was getting late in the regular season.

I just couldn't get myself to watch ball tonight.
