I'll be surprise if Atlanta beats Boston the first round. Just like last year right, the Mavs had the best record and lost against the Warriors.

Yea, but it still looked like he was fouled. Cavs are gonna have a tough time in game six in washington. That series is really heating up.

If he was fouled why would they not call it? A foul is a foul.

because unless a player was mauled, refs never call a foul on a last second play.

it is what it is.

Hm, i've watched ball for a long time. I think James should have went to the line. Well, cant wait until game 6. Should be very enterntaining.

so have i.

i'm not saying it wasn't a foul or he shouldn't have called it.

but rarely will a ref call a foul in that situation.

So it's possible that Mike Dantoni or Avery Johnson could be the coach for the Chicago Bulls.

I agree. Even though I think he's a little egotisitical and a bit brash, he's definitely a better basketball mind. He's won in the Italian League, and lots of plays the Suns run have been copied by other coaches.

Avery is too much of a control freak. He'd probably be more successful in college basketball, where coaches are much more influential.

That was good when he could run the offenseon the floor with the Spurs, but when he's calling plays from the sideline as a coach, you could see that the Mavs were lost when something unexpected came up....not so good in the NBA.

Atlanta came through tonight, it was defenitly a good game. Unfortunately, seems like this might be as far as Atlanta will get, It will defenitly take a miracle for them to win game 7 in Boston...

Chris Paul is just sick! I'm thinking that the Hornets are going to take the Spurs out. What do the rest of you guys think?

yet again another layup that should have went in for Lebron. Just like that one that should have went in during game 5 against the Wizards for the win.

I dunno man... I'm starting to think Detroit may end up owning the east... they have more post season playoff experience. And don't think for a second that Detroit's coaching staff hasn't starting watching the tapes on Boston's struggling games...
