PrintTwo for Two for R-Dizzle! Although Cleveland was a gimme, Denver/Dallas really could have gone either way. But one thing is for sure - no one, including myself, is doubting the Nuggets now! The Mavs have their work cut out for them...
Kmart: "Yo Dirk! At least you're still raking it in from those Geico commercials!"
Meanwhile, on the other coast, LeBron James is doing exactly what he is expected to do. Destroying the Hawks. Last night Mr. MVP dropped 34 points, grabbed 10 boards, earned 3 dimes, and 4 steals and effectively showed the Hawks that, right now, they are merely boys in a man's game. I'll give you one guess on who that man is...
"You four stand over there. I'm going to take this thing to the hole."
But what of tonight as the Upset series' head to their second games? Will the dream last for both Houston and the Magic?
JUMP!
Orlando @ Boston
Orlando Leads - 1-0
Time: 5:00 PDT
TV: TNT
Man. Nothing comes easy for Boston, does it?! Granted, after that wild series with Chicago, an opening win by Orlando (including at one point a 28 point lead) ccouldn't have come as an absolute shocker. But for the sake of excitement, I'm calling for Boston to even it up tonight.

Houston @ Los Angeles
Houston Leads - 1-0
Time: 7:30 PDT
TV: TNT
...now this one was a bit of a surprise, I must admit. I did not expect Houston to come out of the gates so strong, but behind Yao's impressive 28-10, the Rockets managed to steal one away at Staples? Can they actually do it again tonight to take a 2-0 lead in this series? Kobe says no. I do too. Lakers by 5 tonight.

My picks
Magic @ Celtics: Celtics
Rockets @ Lakers: Lakers
did you pick the lakers on Monday???
Both games should be good and to close to call but…
Magic
Rockets
(I like upsets, but I would not put money against the lakers)
There's a party in my mind.
And I wish that I was there.

Hah, yes I picked the Lakers on Monday
I thought the Lakers would play better in Game 1. I expect the Lakers to come out with more intensity and purpose tonight. If they don’t, they will be the biggest joke of a team this season.
I will be picking the Rockets on Game 3, and I’m rooting for the Rockets all the way, but for tonight, I expect the Lakers to even the series.
… I’m rooting for the Rockets all the way, but for tonight, I expect the Lakers to even the series.
I 100 percent agree with you.

Who's watching the Magic Celtics game?
Is Orlando losing because they suck on offense? Or because the Celtics rock on defense?
...
Rockets over Lakers in 6
Nuggets over Mavs in 5
Celtics over Magic in 7
Cavs over Hawks in 4
--
Rockets over Nuggets in 7
Cavs over Celtics in 5
--
Cavs over Rockets in 5, LeBron crowned King of the World.
Thing 1
All righty then
The game of the night. Let’s go Rockets!
Slap to my Lou...
What a little bitch. House goes off; Cs romp without Garnett, Powe, or Pierce. Haha.
Thing 1
I got home late
and saw a little bit of that replay. What happened? House broke Rafer’s ankles and dropped a 3 in his face?
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
In House's words...
That’s what happens when you start busting somebody’s ass… they resort to bush league tactics
Pretty insane that he wasn’t ejected on the spot. You gotta figure he’ll get suspended when they look at the tape.
Thing 1
i hope not
it was a definite bitch move, but i wouldn’t say it’s worse than what rondo did to miller
the nba always seems to find itself in this spot in the postseason tho: what constitutes a flagrent foul, what deserves a suspension, etc.
theyre gonna have to
if not, everybody is gonna be slaping eachother after getting bust in the ass.

Here come the Rockets!
The Rockets 2nd unit killed the Lakers 2nd unit here in the 2nd
is it just my online stream
or is it REALLY REALLY quiet in LA right now?
seriously
if they’re gonna rip off our chant, at least do it at a moment that makes a little bit of sense
YES! Boston fans have been doing it to, but at obvious fouls
Like the player would even have their hand up
what a joke
fisher levels some dude and the analysts label him as a “tough guy”. pretty much any other team they would be all over him for giving a cheap shot, which it was
Artest definitely needs to go psycho
in a good way.
The probability that you just read my signature: 1
That guy is wearing a walton jersey
my question is: why?
The probability that you just read my signature: 1
did anyone see the kobe elbow to ron artest?
i missed it on the replay
the first replay was from another game between the two teams
but I just saw Kobe kept slapping Artest in the head.

fisher AND artest got ejected??
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
geez yao, kobe is not your teammate
so frustrating

shut up doug collins
stop worshipping kobe
I guess no Rocket Sweep
:( Watching this game just reminded me how much I hate Kobe Bryant and all Laker fans.
Who I really hate are the peeps who cheer for the Warriors when they're winning
But then when they’re not a playoff team and they’re officially gone, then they jump on that Laker bandwagon.
Yao couldn't keep up with the Lakers speed tonight
I can’t wait for game 3
oh snap
I just saw that Fisher elbow. DIIRRRTYYY. It was like when Baron leveled him that one time haha.
If Fisher doesn’t get suspended, I dunno…
This is Kristin Kreuk, now zip it. - GTTM
Fisher has always been a dirty player, he just keeps getting away with it.
Never liked him either when he was with the Warriors, he sucked.
The probability that you just read my signature: 1
The cynical side of me
will say the NBA wants the Lakers in the Finals, and they will NOT suspend Fisher.
Houston aint backing down
