Same here. :sweat:

Celtics still have life and take back home court with a 107-86 rout of the Bulls in Chicago.

Dallas routs San Antonio, 88-67.

Lakers throwing up bricks and trail 43-35 at the half to the Jazz. :sweat:

Lakers take control in the third quarter, then roll over in the fourth and lose, 88-86. :shakehead:

Lakers finally play some defense and hit more of their shots and beat the Jazz convincingly, 108-94. :victory:

Now it's time to close it out at home on Monday. :fingerscrossed:

Hmmm, Bulls making it interesting. But the Celtics did this last year struggled in the first round against the Hawks. The difference this year is A) They don't have KG and B) It isn't going to matter because the Cavs are going to take them out in 5 or 6 games.

Au contraire .. not so sure that the Celts will even get past the 2nd round, whether it be the Magic or Sixers. Boston should beat "Da Bulls," but it just might go 7-games. :sweat:

Denver CRUSHES New Orleans, 121-63. :sweat:

Atlanta beats Miami, 81-71.

And the Lakers send Utah packing 107-96 :victory: (good thing I picked New Orleans over Denver as my first round upset special :ashamed:)

And the Lakes sorta blew a big lead again... A VERY bad habit. :sweat:

You have the golden touch, G-Mark. :beaten:

GO LAKERS! BOO CELTICS!

Celtics dodged another bullet tonite. But looks like the dynasty could be a short one.

Dang, the Celtics are like cats with all those lives.... But they're running out.

You're not the only one .. :doh:

Clearly Chandler's too hurt and Chris Paul is getting beat all over. Just think of the last time you've seen an alley-oop connection between those two guys .... that basically tells the whole story. :pout:

Ha! Celtics' dynasty never even got a chance to start ... :beaten:

Sadly, the Spurs dynasty looks like it's officially kaput! ... as they lose 106-93 to the Mavs.

This is Duncan's first time getting eliminated in the 1st Round. The end of the Big Fundamental is near. :shamefulcry:

Really surprising to see the Spurs get so easily handled by the Mavs... Wonder how it would've played out had Ginobilli been healthy.

Just read that Dwight Howard got suspended for Thursday's Game 6 against the Sixers in Philadelphia.... That's gotta put the Magic in a big hole. :sweat:

BTW, the Magic leads the series 3-2.

Ray Allen drops 51(!) on the Bulls, but the Bulls win in triple OT, 128-127.

Back to Boston for game 7.


Rockets and Magic close out each of their series and it's on to the second round...

My God! Ray Allen went off. Why do I have a bad feeling he will go off again in game 7 but this time with the win. :sweat:

GO LAKERS! BOO CELTICS!

Bulls-Celtics.

Game 7.

Tonight.

:sweat:

Celts beat Chicago (& referees) 109-99. This was one of the best basketball series I can remember seeing. But it had some of the worst refereeing I've seen :shakehead: , these guys were plain terrible. I hope we don't get idiots in the second round.
