Damn, Dallas is going to be another grind for the Lakers..

What a comeback for the Mavericks.

1. Yeah, that was so sad

*Giggle*

2. It will be doubly sad if Dallas takes Game 2

Especially to read the Laker fan comments at ESPN, as they explain in great detail the cunning plan of zen master Phil and the black mambo.

3. what about all the geniuses who picked the Celts? I called it Miami in 5

as soon as they beat the Sixers

not bragging....just the fax, ma'am

4. I'm interested in professional basketball

The Eastern Conference doesn't really qualify (Losing record and you make the playoffs? Sheesh!). But my own uninformed two cents is that so far Miami has pushed Boston around pretty good in the first two games, and made them look old and slow. Boston needs to get its mojo working once they get back to the Gahden, and the winner of Game 5 will win the series, I think.

5. the way things look so far, I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is no game five.

BTW, I fervently hope for seven, being a long long long time Bulls fan.

that said, they won't beat the winner of B/M, unless Derrick Rose's ankle heals. the way he's looking now, it wouldn't surprise me at all if they can't even get past Atlanta.

rumor has it his ankle is much worse than anyone's letting on

if you've seen his diminished sortees into the lane, and very bad outside shooting, that rumor seems quite possibly accurate

one last...whoever wins the East will win the championship

bet your house on it

and.....



don't listen to anything I say
