i haven't watched a lot of NBA in the last few years. however, i have seen a few Suns playoff games. Nash is amazing. the entire Sun's offense flows around him whether in open court or in half court. he is one of the best point guards i have ever seen.

Cleveland is lucky not to be down 0-2.

Lebron looked flatter than a pancake last night for 3 1/2 quarters.

Keeps people interested, can't have a sweep in every round. Dangle that carrot.

This looks exactly like the Orlando series last year. If you remember, the Cavs were outplayed in both of those games but LeBron bailed them out in game 2 with his buzzer beater.

Give me Celtics in 6.

Yeah, he's pretty incredible. I think he could have had 50 last night, but he just doesn't look for his shot that often and his team is probably better because of it.

That said, I'm still thinking the Spurs take this series. Wouldn't be surprised if it goes 7 though.

If the NBA had as much control as you think, the following teams would not have made the Finals in the past 10 years.

2000: Indiana Pacers
2002: New Jersey Nets
2003: New Jersey Nets, San Antonio Spurs
2004: Detroit Pistons
2005: San Antonio Spurs, Detroit Pistons
2007: San Antonio Spurs
2009: Orlando Magic

Quite honestly the NBA might do a better job getting the matchup it wants if it stops trying as hard as the conspiracy theorists give them credit for.

Couldn't agree more.

Hopefully Fesenko has played his last NBA minute. Koufos is a lot better than Fesenko....and Koufos is horrible.

It's nice to see that the Magic got a 2nd round bye.

It didn't work out too great for the Cavs last year. I wouldn't be surprised to see them drop one to ATL, just out of sheer boredom.
