I don't get the league's thinking on this. Without having a conversation with David Stern, I can only guess that he wants to have maximum coverage for each game, as opposed to certain games going against each other on TV.

Hmm, wow. In 14 NBA seasons, Robert Horry has reached at least the 2nd round of the NBA playoffs every season. That's amazing.

How the fuck is Horry allowed to be THAT wide open? Come on Nuggets, don't fall apart now.

Well, Denver win and GSW are off to a decent start. Those two would probably be the most dangerous 1st round opponents this year, but Dallas should be able to handle GSW if they can start knocking down some shots.

Warriors and Mavs in a battle right now. I can't believe how excited I am right now. End of three, Warriors up 72-66. Baron Davis is blowing my mind.

I don't like to bitch, but how do they not call a foul on Richardson on that block? it was a clean block but u cant get that much body contact and not call a foul...and i think golden state leads the league in tattoos...is it a requirement to have 15 tats if ur on that team?

OMG! OMG! I can't FUCKING believe it!!!!! This is the best night of my life in terms of sports fan-age.....The WARRIORS ARE UP 1-0 on the MAVERICKS!!!!!! Haha long way to go, obviously, but this was an amazing defensive performance. Yeah, the Mavs didn't play their best game, but neither did the Warriors. This was all Baron Davis. Baron is an all-star when he's not hurt. This healthy Warriors team is not an 8 seed. I feel bad for Dallas that they have to play GSW in the first round. WOW! I am ecstatic! GO WARRIORS!

I consider myself very objective, and I think that you are correct. The block was totally clean, but I would have been okay with a foul call on Richardson afterwards. The Mavs had plenty of chances prior to, and after that, so I don't feel bad for them at all. The Warriors (exceptions: Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson) played horribly offensively, but they still won by a dozen.

As I mentioned before, it's pretty accepted that playing on consecutive days is bad for the quality of the game, players having time to recover from injuries, etc. So every other day is about as fast as it can reasonably go. |

If the Nuggets and the Warriors eliminate the Spurs and the Mavs, the 2nd round is going to be very, very fun to watch.
![]() Now, if there's only one way for the Suns to stumble (the fact that they can shoot their way out of any point deficit really annoys me.) ![]()

Yup. Karma's a bitch, huh, Mavs? To think, if you had bothered to play your stars in the second to last game against the Warriors and give yourselves a chance in that game, you might have been playing the Clips now, whom you guys handled with ease this year. Instead, you get a talented on the rise squad coached by the guy who put you together. I love it! Do I think the Warriors will win this series? No. But I do (and did) think that the Mavs are in for a loooooong, difficult series--and they have no one to blame but themselves. |

As much as it bothers me to say it, you are completely right Chief Rum. It looks now that Avery Johnson made a huge tactical error in that late-season game against the Warriors. I won't say it was underhanded on his part, even now.. but I will say it was a mistake....a mistake that may derail this championship run much sooner than expected.

Exactly. I was only 14 the last time the warriors even made the playoffs and 12 the last time they actually won a playoff game, so this was a HUGE night for Warrior fans all around. Baron Davis is amazing.

I'm a Bengals fan, so believe me I get it. I'm not criticizing, just making an observation that your sports life must be very hard if this is the highlight.

It's not like Dallas and SA are LA or NY markets. If both those teams lost, you'd lose some viewers from texas (still have Houston though), but you would probably gain even more when the casual fans see how watchable these teams are. Last edited by Arles : 04-23-2007 at 06:26 PM. |

I dunno what the Nets are gonna do in Toronto, they're down and it looks like they might fall. If they do, I haven't decided whether I want them to lose that Series or not. I mean, I hate futile playoff runs for experienced teams that you know are going to get beat.
And it'd be a lot more fun to watch that team in the next round than that Nets team. I just can't understand what the hell Rod Thorn is doing. I bet it's Bruce RATner and his penny pinching that's prevented them from going after anyone that could have REALLY helped them at the deadline. Because no way that team has enough firepower to make a real run at the Finals. But it seems to be the trend in the NBA that you just waste great players in their prime of their careers or worse, as they're coming down to the end of their usefulness. Such a joke.

Seriously, the media is dying to give him a third one. But it's consensus that the guy isn't in the class of others who have three. And it's not as if there aren't lots of others who could easily be classed as MVP caliber people. He's a great player. But the guy that he is and the one they've confused him with as one of the best of all time are two entirely different people. I mean, I don't recall John Stockton winning any MVPs, and I don't think Nash is even in his class. Dirk is the real deal, even if he can't seem to do much in the playoffs. He's still young, of course. And has a hell of a lot more help than KG does in Minnesota. |

Exactly my point. Actually, I don't think he compares favorably to Stockton. If you want to find the guy that he compares best with, look at KJ circa 1989 or so... Not only shouldn't he win a third. Put together a list of guys who have won two: Larry Magic Kareem Wilt Bill Russell Tim Duncan Karl Malone Bob Petit Moses Jordan Steve Nash One of these things is not like the others... BTW, to SnDvls, this all started because someone made a coment about the media circle-jerk of Kobe. The Nash circle jerk is of unprecedented proportions.

I agree. It's as if two years ago, someone decided to give Steve Nash the MVP as a prank, to see if people would buy it. So last year, they naturally had to give him another after he won that one. And so now, they're like "well, we gave it to him before."
I don't think he's a bad player. But I like that KJ comparison. I'm also very, very happy that we'll be done with Miami soon. That's one of the least likable championship teams in the NBA in years. Besides Wade, that team just gets on my nerves. They're old, uninspired and people have this penchant for trying to turn them into a team that's a lot better than they are, simply because of Shaq. And I hate Shaq. Didn't always, but I don't have much use for him anymore.

The Heat get their requisite cheap shots on the Bulls at the end of a 20 point blowout, and we're up 2-0!
