They are looking pretty good. Could have lost game 1 easy. Denver has played decent. Next round should be some good matchups. Hasn't really been a dominate looking team so far in the playoffs.

The mentality of the fan is the same(Yankee/Laker). Never in trouble, always in "cruise control". Never in a tough series, just "haven't woken up yet". Blah, blah, blah big headed, elitest blah blah. Last season they had a clear advantage and were the best in the West. This year that is not the case. Much more even playing field.

I don't think the West is much different at all. SA and Dallas aren't the real deal. Not even close. Both of them might be sitting at home next round anyway

2010 Lakers > 2011 Lakers. 2011 Thunder > 2010 Thunder. Spurs are the Spurs, as much as I hate them. Dallas is always Dallas. Nothing better, nothing worse. LA might reach the finals again but it won't be because they are clearly better like it was last season.

Depending on how serious Kobes injury is the Lakers could be in alittle trouble.

Some very big games tonight. Spurs need a win bad. Mavs and Blazers are in game 5 and OKC is looking to close it out. Good night of basketball.

Spurs and Grizzles are in a close game.

Not anymore

Thank god the Spurs are getting knocked out soon.

Always hated the Spurs. Now if LA can get beat too it will be a dream 1st round.

Hopefully i hate both but i am a Kobe fan. I was loud as hell last night during the Laker game CP3 and J-Jack!

Well now the Mavs are up 3-2.

they will lose trust me.

Mavs got this unfortunately, Portland was hoping for another B-Roy sighting and it is not going to happen, they changed the whole offensive flow for him tonight and he did not have it, I do think the Ref's are fucking them on foul calls, the free throw discrepancy is like Duke's against any other team, win in Portland, but closed out in Dallas.

I guess the Celtics are the only one I'll see you in the finals ou.

Looks like the 2nd round will be-

Chicago Bulls vs Atlanta Hawks
Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics
L.A Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks
Oklahoma City Thunder vs Memphis Grizzlies

Chris Paul crossover on Bynum-

whats up with R. Westbrook taking 30 shots, 12 more than Durant last night?

lol yea right!

Just got to say I hope my hawks can finish it out tonight. Yes I know they prob wont win it all but its would be sweet revenge to beat the magic considering they swept us last year by 101 FUCKING point margin. Dwight YOU SUCK. Fouling ass cry baby

Hawks will lose tonight but win game 6.

Hawks lost tonight and will also lose game 6 in my opinion.

I still think Orlando should win the series. There's no reason they shouldn't

I still think they will Bobbitt.
