Grizzlies making the Thunder look bad. Randolph is ballin' right now. I don't understand why the Thunder are allowing the Grizzlies to dictate the pace and why the Thunder are forcing the ball inside so much. They are a jump shooting team, but seem intent on getting points in the paint. Nice idea, but they need to get back to doing what they do best, jump shooting.

Man, upsets abounding. Having said that, this is frickin' funny:

Since the Hawks eliminated his Magic on Thursday, Orlando point guard Jameer Nelson has some free time on his hands.

The Hawks hoped he would spend it watching Game 1 of Atlanta's second-round series against the Chicago Bulls.

Hawks spokesman Arthur Triche announced on Twitter earlier Monday that he was leaving two tickets for Nelson after the Magic guard was caught telling Bulls star Derrick Rose "catch you in the second round" after the two teams met on April 10.

"Things that make me happy about this job," Triche said on Twitter. "Taking a page out of Jerry Glanville's book, I think I'll follow through on Jameer's request to catch Derrick Rose in the 2nd round."

Dang. Those Mavs are taking it to the Lakers. Sure would be nice to see the Lakers taken out during this round, but there is no way I will cheer for a Dallas team.

I'm still hoping that the Lakers make it to the finals.

Not following any NBA series, but I saw the title "Capitals or Lakers?" on the Sportscenter storybar and I knew it couldn't be going well for Kobe & co...

Brooms. I see brooms.

I just went back and re-read this entire thread. So many incorrect declarations, so much fun!

C'mon, now. We all know that the Lakers just wait to turn it on when it's time.

Psst, LA, it's time.

I still feel Miami/OKC is the pick. Which would be a very athletic, incredible final.

Dallas is on a fast roll right now, I give them the edge over OKC.

The Celtics aren't done yet, as much as I wish they were.

 

[Goaldeje]

OKC going into halftime with a nice lead. Have they figured the Grizzlies out? Afraid to make too many predictions now. Thanks, Chris.

Terrific performance by Boston tonight. I'll be shocked if the series doesn't go seven.

The kind of effort I thought the Lakers would have had in game 2 or 3.

 

[DieselPwr44]

Rajon Rondo's performance tonight is the stuff that legends are made of.

MJ with the sniffles and a fever? Go tie one arm behind your back and try to function on the court.

One tough SOB.

 

[Chris]

Hey, welcome back, Diesel! Did you just get back from a vacation or something?

 

[Goaldeje]

That is one of the most bush league, inexcusable plays by Bynum I have ever seen. Disgraceful. I never thought the 91 Pistons refusing to shake hands with the Bulls would be topped, but the Lakers are managing to sink lower. Absolutely despicable.
