The hornets probably can win their series or at least make it interesting.

I was hoping some of these games would be more exciting. Somehow dallas looks worse this year. Maybe because that jerkoff walker is playing for them.

if the bucks win the series (oops, i originally posted tonite), you can pretty much count on NJ to get to the NBA finals again this year. ;)

I need to see my wolves win tonight. Looking like they should get through the first round this year...finally.

OMFG, Rasheed may have just thrown the game away.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ah well, at least it was exciting at the end. the Pistons played lackluster for 46 minutes. finally started playing with some heart with 2 minutes left.

Sheed lost the ball, but he nailed the big 3 to keep the Pistons in it.

i'm not worried, the Pistons played uncharacteristically bad tonight. our bench was non existent. Bucks will have to continue their hot shooting for any chance.

95-81 Wolves over Denver tonight. Spre pulled it out for us tonight with 31 points, and Garnett with a tripple-double.

Well, I admit I am a biased milwaukee fan... but is it just me or are the refs letting WAYYY too much go on during the playoffs this year? If you look at the new york game and the detroit game yesterday, there were several times where they'd replay a foul and there were 2-3 fouls before the one that was called. I think that detroit came back at the end 50% due to defense and 50% due to committing reach-in fouls that weren't called. And new jersey is just a bunch of thugs right now.

how old are you? 12??

you don't remember any of the Knicks vs Bulls playoff games?? or the Detroit Bad Boys when Defense was KING??

NJ is not playing that extreme, Knicks are just crying wusses.

Thomas and Martin are barking back and forth now, it's pretty entertaining.

ya it is, what hilarious is, Thomas talking about the nets "they can't stop me so they foul me". the irony is it was the 4th quarter and the nets were leading by 20+ points, not exactly a brilliant offensive night by the knicks.
