-I think the Lakers are built to win on the road in the playoffs, and that this is the best Laker team in the Kobe/Gasol era...health willing. -The Bulls are legit. They're not "too young" to win the title, as many are saying. They're a great defensive team, and have a legit go-to guy that is very difficult to stop. But I think their outside shooting is going to make life difficult on them when playoff rotations are geared to bring out your greatest weakness. -I've seen this movie with Boston before. I don't buy for a second that they're too old or that the Perkins deal killed their chemistry. -Not to besmirch a legend, but I don't think Tim Duncan can hold the middle long enough to get to the Finals. -...but I still think they'll beat OKC in Round 2. -Mavs/Portland has upset written all over it. Portland plays like they think they can beat the Mavs. -I think Denver could have made a run at a first round upset if they played anyone but OKC. Terrible matchup for them. -As top heavy as they are, I don't see Miami getting by both Boston and Chicago. Props to them if they can.

Tough one to give up for the Pacers. If they were to have ANY chance pulling off an upset in this series, they needed that win.

Yea, ain't happening against Dwight Howard. If Magic plays at 85-90% in the series, Chicago will be one and done.

damn all the nay sayers. please continue with all your loving. I guess Miami is not a championship team since they're down 10 points to Philly.

Being down 10 in first quarter vs. being down the whole game and gettin' outplayed for 45 minutes by players who half the viewers don't even know is another thing.

Pretty solid first half for Dallas. Kidd has been hot behind the 3 line, Terry has hit some nice shots, and JJB did a great job getting penetration. We also owned the offensive boards. We need to come out strong in the 3rd. Dirk is having a pretty crappy game, but we still have a double digit lead so can't complain too much. Keep it up Mavs.
