we only lost by 6 guys, and it was never a blowout. with how terrible we played, even in a loss it gives me hope. if we can hang close with all the mistakes, all the fouls, and all the inside buckets, I like our chances.
POR is playing well, I thought PHX would domiante without Roy but they are hanging tough.
If they keep it under 100, I think Portland can win
Bayless is straight up ballin' right now
And those hot suns cooled off, ****. Amare just decided to ease up off the peddle, going to be going down 0-1, ridiculous. Play like this and they'll be getting their ass sent home where they should be.
A hush in the valley of the sun,as you can hear a pin drop in the building. Portland without their star is on the verge of becoming the first road team to win a playoff game this year.
Its better to lose on the road as an underdog than lose at home as a heavy favorite. :p
nah, Portland was great tonight without Roy. Andre Miller was awesome, but they bout let it slip away at the end. Missing the Camby dunk, throwing it out of bounds, Bayless missing the FT, etc... they got lucky to win, but this REALLY hurts PHX.
It gives POR confidence, they won @PHX without Roy, itll be tough to put them out now
I really miss when the first round was just Best-of-5.
No doubt, the NBA Playoffs are WAY, WAY, WAY, WAY too long. Taking a day off between all games, It's sad that the playoffs generally start in mid April and don't end til June, just crazy.Quote:

I love the NBA playoffs, but the only problem I have is the best-of-7 first round.
Atlanta won again, it was on NBAtv, they go up 2-0.
Boston and Cleveland on TNT right now, Boston up 49-33, Miami went cold and Boston just kept hitting. Miami should shoot themselves if they don't take advantage of KG being out, I had them winning tonight anyway after they gave game 1 to Boston...but that run might have put them in a hole they can't get out of.
LA and OKC on after at 10:30, PHX and Portland on at 10 but on NBAtv.
Learned that Big Baby leads the league in his own shots blocked, 18% of his shots are sent back, that's an insane number...the other ones were guards I believe too. Pretty sure he has had at least 4-5 blocked tonight, that's embarrassing.

Were I a Jazz fan,I'd be awfully proud. Being small killed Denver last night. If the Jazz were playing a team like the Lakers with their size,they'd be down 0-2.
