I was on a business trip for a week, and I had neither the time to watch NBA nor did I have TNT at the time. Back now, watching the end of the Suns/Cips ]]>

Why can't you watch the NBA games? No cable? BTW, Miami beat the Nets tonight, and are now up 2-1... ]]>

What's funny, RJ, is that I can't watch any NBA so I've been checking in here to catch the updated standings. Thanks man ]]>

Dallas-SA 1-1 Pistons up 2-0 Nets-Heat 1-1 Clippers-Suns 1-1 At this point, I almost want to pick three underdog winners: Dallas, NJ, and the Clippers. I mean, all three have stolen home-court advantage. But I believe, of the three, the Suns have the best shot at winning back home-court advantage and then going on to win their series. ]]>

@ Why not? May not be in 6 ..perhaps in 7 but Clippers should win. And they are going to. :-) But we will find out the adjustments Mike Dunleavy makes for tonight's game --of course the key is they cannot allow the Suns 100 + if they want to stay in and win the series--I will pay attention to the defensive end and match-ups . I might sound little crazy but I were Dunleavy, I would put Livingston or Ross on Nash , all the time. Clippers should play a more physical game and protect the paint -- no lay ups no dunks-- period. ]]>

Really? Clippers can come back from down 0-1 without home court advantage to win in 6? ]]>

Honestly I can't formulate it yet. I think I need their season to be over before I can speculate. But what really pisses me off is I'm in a hotel just outside Saginaw (Mich) and I have no channel that has the game on. I don't get TNT, and no local station is picking it up. For shame! ]]>

Maybe we can do a point, counterpoint, on the Cavs... or maybe we will just agree. :-) ]]>

I don't .. heh ... dig ... Scoop. But I did skim it. LBJ was supposed to get that bitter loss against the Wizards, but he carried the team to the Final Eight. So I suppose the taste of a sweep will better the man in the future. I have a lot to say about the Cavs, which I'll hold off until the offseason, whether that's next Monday (Game 4) or much later, like next Wednesday (Game 5). ]]>

Six point loss in game two. Could be a sweep, but I do feel vindicated in my prediction that it wouldn't go exactly like game one. Scoop Jackson had an interesting article about how a bad loss to the Pistons could be exactly what Lebron needs to become the player he wants to become. ]]>

Woulda been 30 if one of their backups didn't pop a three at the buzzer. This could still be one bad, bad sweep. ]]>
