Meh.



Just read my article about it.



And I was just about to make the EXACT same thread, I had the same bracket and everything.

Nuggets 114 Lakers 128. Gasol 36 pts (14/20) + 16 rebs + 8 assists + 3 blocks -> WOW

I see that some of you guys ave confident that the Rockets and Spurs cane pull through despite tough first round opponents.

LK might start in game 2 against the Lakers replacing Anthony Carter. Which will be interesting to see, especially seeing his very solid performance in game 1.

You see that amazing dunk that looked like the Harlem Globetrotters in the lakers game?



Gasol to Odom.





Sickest dunk I've seen in the playoffs for the last 2 years.

Wizards 86-116 Cavaliers (Cavs lead 2-0)

Jazz 90-84 Rockets (Jazz lead 2-0)

That #1 Dunk from Kobe was amazing.



They continue to do it.



First - Game one - Harlem Globetrotter style - game two - Kobe goes airborne.

Magic 94-108 Raptors (Magic lead 2-1)

Cavaliers 72-108 Wizards (Cavs lead 2-1)

Rockets 94-92 Jazz (Jazz lead 2-1)



76ers 95-75 Pistons (76ers lead 2-1)

Mavericks 97-87 Hornets (Hornets lead 2-1)

Spurs 115-99 Suns (Spurs lead 3-0)

I'm surprised that the Wizards beat the Cavs by like 30 or something.



How about dem Celtics?

Jokes.

I was shocked to see that too. Seems as if home court means a lot to both teams.



Lakers lead the Nuggets 83-64 at the end of the third. No chance of coming back, and the Nuggets are all but out. Darn it.

Magic 106-94 Raptors (Magic lead 3-1)

Lakers 102-84 Nuggets (Lakers lead 3-0)

Celtics 93-102 Hawks (Celtics lead 2-1)

Rockets 82-86 Jazz (Jazz lead 3-1)

Finally.... A win like this was so very important for the Mavs. I believe the previous two defeats must have been pretty demoralising, but I think they can now start working on confidence and hopefully turn the series around.

Cavaliers 100-97 Wizards (Cavs lead 3-1)

Spurs 86-105 Suns (Spurs lead 3-1)

Pistons 93-84 76ers (tied 2-2)

Hornets 97-84 Mavericks (Hornets lead 3-1)

Now they need something special to win 3 games in a row.

Yes, a sort of miracle to be precise <!-- s -->[img]{SMILIES_PATH}/unsure.gif[/img]<!-- s -->

HT: Mavericks 39 Hornets 54 <!-- s -->[img]{SMILIES_PATH}/angry.gif[/img]<!-- s -->

I guess it's over for the Mavs, a team like that losing by 4-1 is absolutely humiliating and undeserved imo. The only positive thing is that Dirk will rest more and concentrate on qualifying for the Olympics. If Germany gets there then he will have more chances to shine <!-- s:cool: -->[img]{SMILIES_PATH}/coolio.gif[/img]<!-- s:cool: -->
