Lakers all the way, my friendWe'll be discussin our teams the rest of the way
Boston rallied from a 22 pt deficit against the aging Spurs to win last nite. Key 3 pt shot by Cassell
If Houston is hitting 3's again, they should win. Watch Garnett and don't leave Cassell or Pierce open
Very true. Hoping Mutombo and Scola can at least slow Garnett down. Alston shouldn't have a problem with Cassell, and Battier can definitely guard Pierce. My only concern is McGrady on Rondo. T-Mac isn't nearly as good on defense as he is on offense.
Ah didn't know you're a laker fan guy. can't say i like the lakers, ever since phil jackson and shaq went over.
i'm disappointed the rockets lost. it's clear that if a team has people who are willing to bang inside and lock-down the role players, houston will have a tough time. they really missed yao this game...i'd def give them the edge if yao and landry were playing.
i know ray allen was out...but when boston played locked-down D in the second half, no one could create their shot except for T-mac.
Rockets finally lost yesterday. Oh well. It was a fun ride, and if they had to lose, it might as well be to the best team in the league. I'm still proud of them. The streak moved them from 10th to 1st.
Now, they need to regroup, because they have a tough road trip coming up. New Orleans, Golden State, and Phoenix are next.

Andrew is scheduled for the start of the playoffsHopefully, Pau can play Friday
Key shot by Sasha, 2 big free throws by Lamar and Rad finally showed
In regards to the Spurs, they better turn it around soon. Winning four titles, they've never been repeat champions. I would've kept Brent Berry
it's gonna be tough if bynum returns in the playoffs...he hasn't played in a long while and the intensity he has to play at just because it's the playoffs now, and not the regular season, will be a huge challenge. not to mention that gasol being there requires another factor for bynum adjusting his game.
for me, i still think the road to the championship goes through san antonio.
the lakers being at full strength for the first time in several months in the thick of the playoffs...i'm looking for san antonio to handle LA.
as for boston...i will openly admit i hate boston teams, but objectively speaking i suppose they have a decent shot. i can see the cavs taking boston out, once wally and big z, and gibson get fully integrated.
Hey Sixers 8 of last 9 including beating the Pistons, Spurs, and Nuggets. Not bad. 1 game behind Raptors for the 5 seeds which I really want because I think this team can beat the Cavs in the first round. Signing a player like Elton Brand could make the Sixers pretty serious conteders considering how young they are.
