man.. best play-offs in a long time, i hope it continues to be this close and exciting for the rest of it

 

this is def one of the most exciting playoff runs in nba history. every series is close (except for miami vs nj) and all is unpredicted...

 

man ohh man, Duncan was playing like the beast that he is today, 41 points and still lost. props for Dtown for finally beating San Antonio in the playoffs.

the clips deserves to lost after playing zero defense. i feel bad for brand though, but they will be back next year and better with livingston, im officially raising my expection of him. thinking Penny Hardaway now.

 

I know most likely the Mavs will beat the Suns, but its a small possibility the Suns could be going to the finals, and thats wierd in itself.

Miami would probably pose the biggest problem for the Mavs in the finals. They can't stop Shaq, which isn't a huge problem because they couldn't stop Duncan either and still won. But they won't be able to stop Wade either. Mavs really never faced a dominant team with a 1-2 punch. The suns would have been the first if Amare was there, but he isn't. Thats to bad, a healthy Mavs-Suns could have been better than the Mavs-Spurs series.

 

I see the Suns and the Heats in the finals, it's crazy how there were 3 game 7's this time around, exciting

 

I wouldn't write off the Pistons just as yet...

 

Exactly, Miami couldn't win with home court advantage last year in game 7. Detriot is better this year and have home court advantage. There is no reason not to think that Detriot can win it in 6-7 games this series.

 

i say Dallas vs. Detroit in the finals and somehow i feel detroit would pull out in 6 or 7 games in that series. Det has too much talent/experience and team chemistry to be knocked out by the heat. The only way Heat can pull away is if they have an amazing shooting night by all their players. We all saw that when the pistons really want a game they will take it like game 7 with the cavaliers.
as for the suns/mavs series i dont see an answer for Dirk and Jason Terry who are both just lighting it up. Jerry stackhouse coming off the bench is just amazing. As much as I wanted the spurs, mavs have a better chance of knocking out the suns (whom i HATE)
