Why oh why do they want to draw this out. i guess it's another set of commercials, but OMG, let the game END.

i'm speaking of course of the dallas portland game that portland is winning by 20 points with 19 secs left in the game.

anyway.

has anyone else noticed that there are NO first round sweeps this season.

it's hard to take 4 games in a row, especially with the tough competition in the league nowadays. no team is a gimme.

because there was a foul committed, duh. Where does it end, really. If you start letting things slide, eventually things get out of hand, and another one of those officiating scandals happens. I think it's best to keep the integrity of the rules, regardless of the situation.

i know, that's why they intentionally changed it from a 5 game series to a 7 game series.

i don't think it's really gonna help much. NBA needs to do something to get the juice back. it's not like the '80's and '90's any more.

I can't believe Dallas lost. After halftime they lost all their gas and were sputtering on empty. Surprising too especially after Van Exel's half court shot at the buzzer. We'll get them Game 5, no worries :)

Yeah, I was thinking about how there were no first round sweeps this year.
At least things are interesting.
