Thank goodness the Pacers finally executed somewhat in the last minute.

They didn't. The Bulls just weren't perfect like they had to be coming back from a 16 point lead with 2:30 left.

Chris Johnson is playing and playing well for the Blazers!!!!!

I was going to say that!! Fun watching him, but it's against the Mavs, and they don't play with physical inside presence

I said somewhat..they did not choke as bad as they did in last three games. Boozer bailed them out.

...Feel bad for the Pacers.  Bulls fans packed the stadium and are jeering and taunting from all the best seats, cheering missed free throws...

That's shameful. I wonder what Larry Bird has to say about it.

Ugly game so far in Portland... great players though. Miller and Kidd are great, and also Nowitzki and Aldridge. It's a shame they're not facing other teams, because they're beasts. NO has only Chris Paul, and Denver lacks a leader. I wonder how would be doing OKC and the Fakers against Portland or Dallas. But that's why you play 82 games

Ugly but fun. And the Blazers fans are amazing. I hope they get this one, so they will at least have one more home game.

I agree, it's a fun game, and although I'm not the biggest McMillan fan, he's doing a great job against Rick Carlisle. It's a shame that either team has to be out, but I hope Dallas can take on the Fakers and give them a beating. Nothing would be more fun than Marc Cuban celebrating against them... except the Celtics mollywhopping the Lakers like in 2008.

watching Kidd shooting 3-pointers I feel better about Rondo's chances to ever have a dependable shooting game. Wow.

[Celtics18]

I'm really happy that the Pacers managed to hang on for that win and avoid the sweep.

They may not be executing well down the stretch, but they sure are playing with a lot of toughness.  I like that bunch.

I'm excited to see Dirk finally face Kobe in a playoff series.  I know we're not quite there yet, but it looks like that's what will most likely happen.

I'm actually feeling pretty good about the Mavs in that matchup.  For once the Mavs actually have good defense to back up their offense, and plenty of size, too.  I guess we'll see, though.

Very disappointed in Portland.

I don't think they gave a good account of themselves in this series. Underperformed.

not over yet, portland is only down by 6 . Brandon Roy is starting to heat up!

[Atzar]

Wow, Brandon Roy.  Miraculously get healthy so I can watch stuff like this for the next several years.

What a performance.
