plus i agree, nuggets with an upset.
If the Wizards can stay healthy, they'll roll over any team, including the Celtics, on their way to the finals.
Since Arenas' return in early April, Butler, Arenas and Jamison have only played 3 games in which all were present.Quote:

Aside from that happening, I still don't see any other team in the East that can stop Boston.
PS ~ DashK should make a bet, if the Suns get knocked out of the playoffs, he gets a 1 month ghosting. Are you that confident in them Dashy ?
I can't say the same for Antwan Jamison.Quote:

agent zero is kicking some butt.
Boy, if the first game is any indication, this will be THE series of the first round if not the entire playoffs.
San Antonio 117, Phoenix 115 (2 OT)
It sucks, but the Suns will never win a championship with the current line-up. No one wants to play defense.
Incredible 3 by Nash though
What a good game by both teams but in the end the Suns defense (Bell) let Genoblow score the layup.
Saturday's results:
Cleveland 93, Washington 86. Cavaliers lead series 1-0.

Who said Nuggets would upset Lakers? :lolz:
Lakers 128, Nuggets 114. Lakers lead series 1-0
The 2 early games were snoozefests. Hope the latter 2 are better but not expecting much from Atlanta against Boston :p
Sixers and Pistons ended up being a good game...can't believe Philly won 90-86.Quote:

I can't remember a time that the Utah Jazz were a bad team. Teams have rose and fallen - the bulls, the lakers, the celtics, the rockets, but the Jazz have been consistently good as long as I can remember. Not championship good, but good enough to stay in the playoffs all the time.
Had they called Jordan for an offensive foul (which it was), they'd of been Champions.Quote:

The Celtics knew after game 3 we hadn't gave up. They came out tonight and gave us all they had and we still took them.
If only the Hawks could just pull off 1 road win, this series is ours because they're not beating us here.
The Hawks have a great starting lineup with Bibby, Johnson, Smith and Horford . If Al Horford gets better the Hawks will be scary.Quote:

If those three could remain solid and Law picked it up, we wouldn't fall off towards the end of games.
The Celtics lost 3/4 to the Wizards. They're not that great a team.Quote:

The Wizards were never intimidated by them and now we're no longer intimidated by them.
