It's fairly amazing to me that the Home Team is 11-0 in the 2nd Round so far! That home-court really makes that BIG a difference.

So far in the playoffs Boston is 6-0 at home and 0-3 on the road. The Cavs gotta have this one.

The Jazz looked much beter last night vs. the Lakers.

The Hornets were tooth-n-nail vs. the Spurs til mid-way in the 4th.

The Magic rebounded in a BIG way! Pounding the Pistons 111-86; series now 2-1. The Pistons better hope Billups can return the the line-up healthy??

As much as it hurts to say it, the Lakers are playing good ball. The Jazz are in serious trouble down 2-0. They have the NBA's Best home record; but the Lakers have won there. If the Lakers can just split the Jazz two home games, it's over. Boozer has not showed up.

What was up with the clock at the end of the 3rd quarter??? They should have started the play over again. That 3 pointer at the buzzer should not have counted for the Pistons. The Magic were only down by 2 with 11 seconds left in the game; take that three away and that could have changed things??

WOW! The Hornets now up 2-0; really control things after the half in BOTH games. Game 1 in the 2nd half they outscored the Spurs 56-33; and tonight 36-18 in the 3rd qtr. CP3 is a bad dude! Contrary to what some might say; the Suns series with all those close games drained the Spurs more than one might think. They are in a must-win situation Thursday.

No doubt Boston has been exposed. I predicted the Celtics to handle the Hawks in 5 games 4-1. Very suprising turn of events taking it to 7.

The Pistons pounded the Magic 91-72 in Game 1.

The Hornets easily handled the Spurs 101-82.

The Lakers/Jazz should be a great series. The Lakers should benefit after having more rest, sweeping the Nuggets. The Jazz just eliminated the Rockets Friday night and already have to play again on Sunday afternoon. I feel bad for TMac too; but many NBA Greats have nevr won a Title either.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how the final Hawks-Celtics works out. I don't think anyone expected this series to be the one that's going all the way to game 7, especially with so many other great match-ups that we're predicted to go all the way, but didn't. Many people thought this would be a sweep by the Celtics, but the Hawks have proven extremely resilient. However, they still have to face the fact that all three of their wins have come at home in Phillips Arena and not in Boston.

If the Hawks manage to take this series, it will be quite possibly the biggest upset in NBA playoffs history, as well as one of the biggest in sports history.

Even if the Hawks lose, though, this series has shown some weak spots in the Celtics that other teams will certainly exploit later.

Great looking stadium. The scale of everything looks nice.

Phoenix is definately a team that is done, (the old mans club).

Shaq, I can understand. His time with Miami was over and they're not so good.

Grant Hill was a different story. Grant signed with the Magic 5 or so years ago and had ankle trouble every year. He was a trooper and rehabed hard to get back in shape, but Orlando paid him almost 100 million over the past several years and he played in something like 50 games, total. The fans stuck with him though and didn't gripe about paying him all that money for nothing because he was legitimately hurt and was trying to come back. After collecting his money and finally getting healthy he bolts to Phoenix the first chance he gets, totally blowing all the good will built up with the fans who now dislike him more than any other former player, even Shaq. Grant Hill was a good guy and involved in the community too. He actually signed with Phoenix for less than the Magic were going to give him. He would have been an asset to Orlando this year and could have obviously went further into the playoffs. I'm just glad to see someone so disloyal get what he deserved. It would have been better if they didn't even make the playoffs.

How about Shaq too, he must now realize he is at the end of his career and can't do much. If I was a PHX fan I would be pissed trading away Marion for Shaq, especially since he didn't do much.

Hey Grant Hill... How's that snub of resigning with Orlando to go to Phoenix so you could be on a title contender working out for you?

3 out of 4 teams have punched tickets to the next round. SAS did it pretty convincingly also.
