The Nets led for the whole second half just about. And it was a pretty queer move by the Raptors to claim that Calderon and Ford wouldn't play, and then suddenly they played like they were 100%

And the Nets fans are the worst in the league. I am from NJ and I only know 1 REAL Nets fan, and he practically jumped off the bandwagon when everyone else jumped on a few years ago with kenyon

That is seriously a series that I don't care about at all. I would kind of like to see the warriors and rockets though. But any of those 3 teams are gonna get rocked by the spurs(or even the suns)

Raptors had a 20 point lead in game 5. When I say the Raptors should have won it, I think of 3 key plays.

Carter jacks up a 3 that he has no business jacking up and what does Bosh do with that gift? come down the court and settles for an outside jumper, which he misses.

Jefferson's go ahead basket was far too easy. I can't believe he wasn't fouled.

And of course Calderon's pass.

No point in arguing this really since the better team won. The lack of execution and poor defense just pisses me off.

Raptors need a new coach

you really didn't think Ford or Calderon would play?

any "injury" in the playoffs is exaggerated. You prepare as though the other team has all their guys.. I doubt the Nets were caught off guard..

Wtf was that? They fucking sucked. PERIOD!!!! gave 2 offensive rebound, okur made the 3pt shot off that rebound and they didn't foul when they should. I really don't know who to blame to but the whole fucking houston team. They need someone else rather than howard and hayees. They have no strong 3rd player... T-mac and Yao can't do all the work. This is fucking pissing me off. I feel so bad for T-mac for not making first round again. I really hope that they can pick up someone during the summer who actually can create his own shot.

Didn't have a chance to catch the Bulls-Pistons game tonite...but, just caught the highlights and wow, what a Detroit laid on Chicago.

Bulls will play a much better game in Game 2...

They better .. I'm not a hardcore Bullz fan, but I expected more than a near 30-point game.

Looking at the other stats though, seemed Bulls > Pistons during the season?

Yeah, it was a stinker. Partial credit obviously needs to be given to the Pistons, but the Bulls were sleepwalking through the game esp. in the 3rd quarter.

And indeed, Chicago took 3 outta 4 from Detroit during the season...But, I'm not going to use regular season stats as the main litmus test; however, at least it shows that the Bulls are quite competitive with the Pistons and match up well...

...Too bad Game 1 failed show that.

I acutally don't care who wins this series. As long as either one wins the whole thing. I want spurs to be the champion because of Finely. I think he deverse a ring for his hard work he done in past seasons. My dream would be Spurs winning this year and Suns winning it next year.
