man, the refs seemed to bail out Miami twice in crunch time. RJ's collision with Shaq wasn't called, most likely because it would have been Shaq's 6th foul. also, RJ's missed layup and the end when Wade (or it could have been EJones) fouled him as he ran by.

:thumbsdown:

what is up with Dirk? i had him on my fantasy team and he rocked all season long, but i never really got a chance to watch him play.

now that i finally get to see him in the playoffs, he's stinking it up....

hrm...i stand corrected, Dirk had 28 pts tonight.

interesting fact: whenever Finley and Dirk score 20+ points each, Dallas is undefeated this season.

Dallas wins......

Fridays games are all 2-0. they say the series doesn't truly start until a team wins on the road. we'll see if any of the 3 teams down 0-2 can make it a series.





of course, GO PISTONS!!!!

Damn that was a gritty game by Dallas. Hell of a game to boot. I'm proud of them after that 3rd quarter mishap.

I guess it's fitting though, 2nd game the team w/ the strong 3rd ended up losing.

yeah Ray Allen went off. when a shooter gets hot you can't stop him, no matter the gap.

bleh Kings down 3-1. I thought they'd at least be able to win both games at home. Bibby had another horrible game. Seems like they can't get a game where both Peja and Bibby go off.

obviously it had to do with the sonics' defense.

Jerome James will take over Dempier as the best center in the west.

I'd hardly call Dampier the best center in the West. When he's on his A-game, he's frickin' awesome, but I have yet to see his A game in the series with Houston, or for awhile now. (The injury mid-season messed him up)

Supposedly Bonzi didn't show up for the morning shoot around so Fratello said they both decided he shouldn't dress or be on the bench. Some players wore #6 on thier wristbands to show support. Fratello has had problems with both Bozi and Swift. Rumors are they both will be traded. I agree that when the Grizzlies are playing together, they are a great young team. They showed last night that they can play good basketball. Even though they lost, they played a good game. The Suns are just unstoppable right now. They are shooting like 60% every game. It seems like they don't miss any 3's.

Here is a quote from a Commercial Appeal writer about j-will. It seems j-will didn't like an article he wrote.

"Bonzi Wells never made it to the goodbye party. He was asked to stay away.

Jason Williams was escorted out of the locker room after -- how to say this? -- taking a pen out of my hand.

He didn't like a column I wrote. He asked where I live.

But you know what?

If Williams is part of the changes, I'll miss covering the guy. Miss the basketball genius, the brilliant sleight of hand."
