Chad Ford has a chat going on right now at ESPN.com, and he thinks that D'Antoni would become the frontrunner for the Knicks' job should the Suns let him go.

I agree with most of the stuff in that post, but I don't see how you can say the Spurs have not out-executed the Suns. Almost all their games the last couple years have come down to who executes at the end, and more often than not it's been the Spurs. EDIT: In response to Ripper

what

Why?

I don't think it's really fair to count 2003. The Suns were nowhere close to being a threat at that time.

Or ______ could work to become a better free throw shooter, and eliminate the need for unnecessary rule changes.

I've always wondered how a Pacers/Jazz Finals would have played out in '98. Of all the years we made the conference finals, I thought that would have been the Finals series we had the best chance of winning had we got there. What do you guys think?

All joking aside, "play against Michael Jordan" is the correct answer here.

Avery Johnson is out in Dallas, according to ESPN.com.

BTW, tonight was the first time the Hornets franchise has ever won a best-of-7 series.

Oddly enough, I think Shaq was the only guy I saw walk up to the line and do better than split a pair of free throws in the entire fourth quarter, from both teams.

This sure doesn't feel like a series where the Suns could be about to lose 4-1. This is probably the most into a game not involving the Pacers I've been this year.

Also, no punishments will be given out for the Celtics/Hawks stuff. I guess after the backlash from the Phoenix suspensions last year, they're being real loose on this stuff.

The officiating has been putrid in the second half. Why exactly is that not a flagrant on Bell?

To be fair, Ripper does have a point. The Spurs have historically beat the Suns with great offensive play, not defensive play. Neither team has been able to stop the other's big guns, although Nash has relatively been a non-factor in this series.

Garnett should get an Oscar for the way he sold that "headbutt." Also, he shoved a referee during the skirmish. And Perkins and Marvin Williams apparently left the bench.

Larry Brown is the new coach of the Bobcats.

Byron Scott wins Coach of the Year.

Who the hell gave Shaq a second-place vote as Most Improved Player.

Yes.

Hedo Turkoglu will be named Most Improved Player.
