PrintDing dong - the Jazz are dead! Which ol' Jazz? The Utah Jazz!...
They may have snuck on through to avoid the broom from L.A., but in the end it was nothing more than a moral victory. The Lakers are movin' on up to play the winner of the Portland/Houston series.
Fantasy Junkie Picks- FTW!! 1 correct pick.
On the slightly more exciting end, looks like Atlanta really stepped it up in Miami to grab their first playoff road win in 12 years! With the series now tied at 2-2, the series that no one initially cared about is... um... still a series that no one really cares about. The eventual winner gets to move on to a mollywhopping by Lebron James and those other guys that wear the same outfit as him every game.
Fantasy Junkie Pick - Swing and a miss.
And then there was Denver versus New Orleans. Holy crap that was brutal.
"That's it. I'm going to the Warriors."
121 to 63?!!! Chalk it up in the record books as the greatest postseason beatdown. Ever. With this stomping, New Orleans has their back up against the wall, facing elimination in this now 3-1 series.
Fantasy Junkie Pick - Swing and a miss.

Series: Tied at 2-2
Location: Boston
Time: 4:00 PDT
TV: TNT
I'll tell you one thing - you can't really ask for more of an exciting series than this one. After their last double overtime matchup - it's fair to say that anything is possible here. In the end, I still think Boston is going to pull this series out - but clearly it isn't going to be without a fight!
Hash's Pick: Boston
Blog Battle: Blog A Bull v Celtics Blog
Philly v Orlando
Series: Tied at 2-2
Location: Orlando
Time: 4:30 PDT
TV: NBA
Major props to Philly here. They're really giving the Magic a run for their money here. Unfortunately, tonight they go back to Orlando to try to take a lead in this series. I'm picking home court advantage on this matchup tonight,
Hash's Pick: Orlando
Blog Battle: Liberty Ballers v Third Quarter Collapse
Dallas v San Antonio
Series: 3-1 - Dallas
Location: San Antonio
Time: 6:30 PDT
TV: TNT
As much as it pleases me that San Antonio is backed up against a wall, I don't see them going home from this series with just 1 win under their belt. Tonight TonyP fights back.
Hash's Pick: San Antonio
Blog Battle: Mavs Moneyball v Pounding the Rock
Houston v Portland
Series: 3-1 - Houston
Location: Portland
Time: 7:00 PDT
TV: NBA
Is Houston going to close this one out and get some rest before getting trounced by the Lakers? I say no - purely because I think the NBA is going to want at least one more playoff game to sell ads for. Look for some crappy officiating here tonight!
Hash's Pick: Portland
Blog Battle: The Dream Shake v Blazers Edge
GAME ON!!

I hope the Rockets end it tonight
I don’t want the Lakers to get any rest. I would feel a whole lot better about their chances if they’re to face the Lakers with Mutombo and T-Mac, but I’m confident they’ll still give the Lakers trouble without those two.
nope
i hope the blazers win….blazers can actually beat the lakers…rockets stand no chance esp with the injuries…
what r the rockets this season vrs the laters? 0-4?
what are the blazers? 2-2…

Two different animals, just ask the Sharks.
There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.
lol true
but imo houston has no chance at all…their playstyle cant keep up with the lakers offensive power…and lakers have two of the best bigs in the league….and they have kobe
i hate the lakers with a passion…so i want portland to win…at least they have a shot at winning…houston has no shot

Ben Gordon strained hamstring means he’s a game time decision.
Tell your boss that you have a strained hamstring, and give him a wink.

"That's it. I'm going to the Warriors."
Haha… cracked me up big time.
I guess watching the playoffs from the comfort of his own home is better than a 58-point trouncing. NOT.
after that double overtime megathriller
i have no idea if this game will be as close and dramatic as the last one.
crap
I’m still in lab and bulls/celtics are at halftime already.
Surprised to see that the Bulls have a 3 point lead.
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
it's been neck and neck
the bulls pulled away slightly at the end of the 2nd, but Rondo makes a buzzer beater 2 from the FT line

Celtics have no bench help scoring
whoever gets tired first, loses
Bulls up nine
Celtics HAVE to bring back RA soon

Ben Gordon

by gametime_gsw on Apr 28, 2009 6:39 PM PDT up reply actions

by IQofaWarrior on Apr 28, 2009 6:40 PM PDT up reply actions
i definitely thought he should of passed the ball up one that posession
but who can argue when it goes in
by gametime_gsw on Apr 28, 2009 6:42 PM PDT up reply actions
on that previous possession
it was shocking that marbury passed up an open shot
ANOTHER overtime
this is a terrific series!
overtime favors the bulls
because celtics lost ray allen and got no bench help
love this celtics bulls series

no way
flopping is deceitful, unsportsmanlike, and anticompetitive. And to be fair, I hate it when our own Warriors players flop, particularly Maggette.

There's also talk of Rondo's swipe at Miller's face
being upgraded to a flagrant 1, and possibly a flagrant 2, which includes a suspension for Game 6. Personally, the Rondo one would at most be upgraded to a flagrant 1. You could claim that Rondo was acting out of desperation in trying to stop Miller from going for the driving layup or dunk. On the other hand, Rondo did smack him in the face. So I think the league will either let Rondo go, or upgrade to a flagrant 1.
Dwight Howard’s elbow looked a lot more intentional than Rondo’s face smack. I think Howard will be suspended for one game.
by IQofaWarrior on Apr 29, 2009 11:45 AM PDT up reply actions
Both were flagrant 1's
Rondo’s looked a lot more obvious because he got beat and had no play on the ball. He could only reach his face, so he smacked it up pretty good. Dude got mitts for hands!
Dwight’s occurred fairly early in the game.
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
It's official
Dwight Howard’s suspended for Game 6. Also, Courtney Lee will also be out after he took an inadvertent elbow from Howard. This turns Game 6 in favor of the Sixers.
