From the AP report ["Bowen was so angry he went to the sideline near midcourt, looked toward NBA commissioner David Stern in the front row, and said loud enough to be heard, "This is terrible."]

Suns OWN the Mavs Suns will beat the Mavs if they meet in the playoffs

Here is Stern's proposal for the new seeding system: The three division winners and the next best team will be the four top seeds and they will be seeded based on record So for example: This season it would have been 1 Spurs 8 Kings 4 Nuggets 5 Grizzlies 3 Suns 6 Clippers 2 Mavericks 7 Lakers teams with the better record still get homecourt so Grizzlies would have had it over Denver

TOUGH LOSS Honestly the Clippers didn't play well enough to get the win That bogus charge on Maggette took all the momentum the Clippers had built in the comeback

What an awesome performance by the Clippers Loved the attack on the boards and the using of Mobley, Cassell and others in the post

Nice first half by the Clippers But damn are the Suns annoying to play, your team is up 14 and it only feels like a 4 point lead against any other team.

TNT has exclusive rights for the second round If the game is on ESPN it can be shown by local stations

Damn tough loss That little stretch where they took out Brand did them in Clippers always struggle against outside shooting teams, so most times its a matter of those type of teams missing their shots more than the Clippers stopping them.

They didn't have any timeouts left The question is what the hell was Stackhouse thinking ?

MVP voting revealed http://www.nba.com/news/nash_mvp_05-06.html 1. Steve Nash, Phoenix 2. LeBron James, Cleveland 3. Dirk Nowitzki, Dallas 4. Kobe Bryant, LA Lakers 5. Chauncey Billups, Detroit 6. Dwyane Wade, Miami 7. Elton Brand, LA Clippers 8. Tim Duncan, San Antonio 9. Tony Parker, San Antonio 10. Allen Iverson, Philadelphia 11. Shawn Marion, Phoenix

Game 4 is going to be at 5:00 pm Now to the picks Spurs over Mavs in 6 Clippers over Suns in 6 Pistons over Cavs in 5 Nets over Heat in 6

According to ESPN, Suns have announced a press conference for tomorrow where Steve Nash will officially be named the MVP for the second straight year. Congrats to him and with that said I hope Cassell and Livingston eat him alive next series

Well that was fun, can't get enough of seeing the lakers getting destroyed Suns are going to be tough for the Clippers however my big concern is what are all those Laker fans going to do with the Clipper playoff tickets they bought?

You know the league should be thanking their lucky stars the Spurs traded Barbosa to the Suns, because the Spurs would be OWNING this league

Schedule for the weekend: Saturday Lakers vs. Suns 8:30 pm TNT Sunday Mavs vs. Spurs 1:00 pm ABC Cavs vs. Pistons 3:30 pm ABC
