I think the biggest thing that we have learned so far from the playoffs is that the West is stacked from top to bottom. No easy teams and no easy draws.

As far as Cubes goes I think several years ago he was labeled and rightly so as a guy who wouldn't shut up. He definitely put a big old target on his team as he was constantly whinning about the refs. The last couple of years he has really done a good job of staying away from controversy. I think Carlisle will keep his job though. Can't see Dallas changing coaches for the 2nd time in a span 4 yrs.

Spurs/Mavs proved to be a good series, hopefully the Suns/Spurs continues that trend.

Jazz/Lakers on Sunday. Nice!

Hopefully the Birdman didn't break D-Will's arm on that pick after the game was already decided.

He's got to think up a bigger reverse jinx for the Spurs so his Suns can move on. I'm thinking the Spurs in 3, the Suns forfeit because they realize they don't have a chance in game 4.

I would not be surprised if the Spurs end up winning it all. As a Lakers fan, they've been my biggest fear in the West since the playoffs started.

The Celtics are looking good so far. They might be old, but they still have a number of guys who can put the ball in the basket. They are very versatile.

Cuban has talked about not wanting to give max money to Nash due to several reasons. One being that he was in way over the luxury tax threshold. The other being that Nash had some injury concerns, and the last being that Dallas had drafted Devin Harris. Obviously he was wrong on his gamble. Nash has played with a few nicks but he hasn't broken down, and Harris was sent packing for Kidd. Bad move and one that still pisses me off to this day.

Nowitzki not being definitive on whether he stays or goes scares me even more. Nash and Nowitzki remain the best of friends. Could they reunite?

It's amazing how ordinary Kevin Garnett is now.

Utah has no shot. None.

Boston Red · 05-02-2010, 06:29 PM

Utah blew a golden opportunity today. Oh well. Just need to get one in L.A. They're obviously capable of doing that.

None? A team with a bunch of 23 year olds took 2 games from LA.

Just an opinion. Five games is what I am thinking. Maybe six. I just feel that if push comes to shove the Lakers can put Kobe on Deron Williams and then what? Kobe Bryant is the difference. I would LOVE to see the Lakers lose this series. I just don't see it.

Boston Red · 05-02-2010, 07:15 PM

Kobe can't guard Deron Williams anymore than you or I can.

The difference is that LA has 3 good seven footers and Utah's post guys are 6'8''. LA is going to get a TON of offensive rebounds and putbacks.
