I was with you too, :bonk: still pick Utah to win, seems even though the stars are no longer around they're good for a series win every year.

Lakers win a low-scoring affair over the Thunder, 87-79.

In what was the opposite of the regular season, the C's actually came out and played better in the second half to beat Miami in game 1.

How are they going to fare without Garnett in game 2?

And we had our first home court loser. EG's Suns get beat by the Blazers 105-100. :beaten:

Someone had to... Glad it wasn't the Lakes.

And did it without Roy, still think the Suns will prevail, ended the year as perhaps the hottest team in the West, were due for a loss. :muack:

It's a bit worrisome, seeing as how we looked very slow on defense. :sweat:

Wasn't a very bright thing for Garnett to do, particularly since it's the playoffs and he's a veteran... :sweat:

yeah, pretty dumb. I don't get why Haslem didn't even get a t-foul, when he came in, the issue was between Garnett & Richardson.

Wait a second, Utah wins game two 114-111. Series tied 1-1.

So you're refuting yourself? :beaten:

While it may appear that I favored Utah over Denver, the probability is certainly that this is not the case. However, there is always a sliver of doubt. The last thing I want to do is to confuse JDorama members about what I said. Or not. I hope this clears up any confusion anyone may have had.

LOL, sounds like a definite maybe. :mrgreen:

She's smart... :nut:

Lakers' dismal shooting continues and the Thunder are giving them all they can handle... The Thunder leads, 76-75, in the 4th quarter. :sweat:

Lakers did hang on for the win. And EG's Suns came back and spanked Portland 119-90.

Ugh I know, I was following the blow-by-blow online. :shakehead: (And they're not MY Suns when they play crappy. Heh heh. Kidding of courssssse :sweat: )

Nuts. :banghead: Last I checked they were tied in the 4th quarter and I was hoping so bad that Duran Durant & Co. would, uh... steal the Lakers' thunder. :naughty: Because I was feeling perverse today. And because I cannot stand Jordan Farmar's smug li'l mug. :bleh: He's like a mini Tony Parker, only nowhere as talented.

:rofl: @ "spanked" Hoooz yer daddyyyyyyyyyy?????? :hehe:

Yeah, the Blazers were reduced a crisp, served with vinegar on the side. :beaten: Thing is, the Suns are sooooo unpredictable (read: inconsistent :usuck:). When they're good, they're unstoppable. But when they lose their rhythm, hello Suckyland. They can go from supernova to white dwarf star in just two consecutive games (or the reverse, as the series has proven so far), so... I dunno. :shakehead: Still hoping it's PHX in 6, but I won't be resting easy till it's all over. :fingerscrossed:
