Oh yeah, predictions: Pistons in 4 Heat in 7 Spurs in 7 Clippers in 6

Artest hurt his ankle at the end of the first half, too. He came back, but he's just not able to move at full speed.

Wow, the Kings are melting down right before our eyes. This was a seven-point game at the half, five minutes into the third the Spurs are up 20. The Kings have yet to make a FG in this quarter.

Every time I've watched a Kings home game on TV this year, the sideline guy asks the Maloofs if Adelman's going to be back next year. And every time, it's "we'll evaluate that once the season's over." The answer's not changing, sideline guy. EDIT: Oh yeah, Pistons over Team Neckbeard in 4 or 5.

I'd like to get a mini-feud for Brock Ausstin for School's Out, and kick it off this week.

btw, what happened between Walker and Scott Skiles earlier?

The Suns have no one to blame but themselves if they don't advance now.

...that was NOT a foul. Not that it matters now.

C Dubya or Smush?

I didn't see much of the second quarter, but the Suns' defense inside in the first quarter was terrible. James Jones was practically trying to guard Kwame, Odom and George all by himself. They're very lucky to be leading at the half.

Well, if there were ever time for a miracle comeback, now would be it, with Wade having fouled out. Shaq with 30 & 20 after those foul shots.

Well, I'm not doing too well tonight as far as picks go. I really thought the Pacers and Bulls would force game 7's. I'm not going to pick them, but I wouldn't be as shocked as others would be if the Suns won tonight.

I think it's because of the mics by the rim, actually, it just sounds louder than usual in this game. Plus, after changing over from the end of the IND/NJ game, it doesn't seem as loud by comparison. I don't think I've heard the crowd in Indy that loud all season.

Man, that Chicago crowd is dead. It sounds like they're playing in an empty gym.

I know I'd choose the guy who's shot 38% for the series if we needed a shot in the clutch. Croshere was off, Jackson (surprise) was off, ZERO points off the bench. I don't know why the hell we even put Fred Jones out there if he's not going to attack the basket. This game was a total carryjob by JO and AJ, with a good contribution from Granger. Congrats to the Nets, and I hope they beat Miami, it's just a shame that only 3 guys come to play in such an urgent situation.

Krstic had Jermaine's entire arm hooked on that rebound. He should be on the line. I guess payback for game 1, or whatever.

Nice defense, Jermaine!

This series has only had two national TV games. (and by "national", I mean ESPN and TNT, not counting NBATV) And you know if the Heat don't close it out tonight, they'll get the national treatment for their last game.

26-21 Pacers after the first, Anthony Johnson with 12 points.

All Rookie teams First Chris Paul, NO/OK Charlie Villanueva, TOR Andrew Bogut, MIL Deron Williams, UTA Channing Frye, NY Second Danny Granger, IND Raymond Felton, CHA Luther Head, HOU Marvin Williams, ATL Ryan Gomes, BOS Felton should have been first team. He was, at worst, the third best rookie behind Paul and Villanueva.

I already have some friends on this board. They are Drury37, RetroRob215 and nWoScorpion.

Tie game with 7.5 seconds!

The Wizards refuse to go away. It's down to a 2-point game now with 44 (?) seconds

You guys are testing nothing but my tolerance for evil.
