Russell Westbrook is amazing.
- Kevin Durant didn't have a good shooting game (8-24) but he stepped up in other ways with 19 rebounds and some nice defense on Kobe in the 4th
- Russell Westbrook had a nasty dunk on Lamar Odom but it was his all around game plus the 27 points that was huge for the Thunder
- Jason Richardson: 42 points on just 19 shots! Brandan Wright: 0 points this season
- LeBron James: 39 points, 10 rebounds, 8 assists! But 1 L.

#4 Boston Celtics @ #5 Miami Heat (Boston leads 2-0)
Blog Buddies: Celtics Blog | Peninsula is Mighter
Amazing. No Kevin Garnett and the Celtics blow out the Heat. It's great what a 44-8 run will do for you isn't it? Are the Celtics better without Kevin Garnett? In fact, the more and more Kevin Garnett is in Boston, the more I can't stand him. In Minnesota, I thought he was great, but now that he's in the spotlight more often. He just seems like an ass. He'll be back for this game from his one game suspension from elbowing Quentin Richardson in the face.
The Heat just cannot score. 76 points in Game 1, 77 points in Game 2. Somebody other than Dwyane Wade better step up or this team is done. Michael Beasley? Jermaine O'neal?
If the Heat get swept, is there any chance D-Wade stays in Miami? I doubt it no matter how much he says he wants to stay.
I had previously counted the Celtics out, but if they can continue to play tough D like they're doing while putting up a respectable number of points, they have a shot at getting to the Eastern Conference Finals.
He really has come 360 degrees
#2 Dallas Mavericks @ #7 San Antonio Spurs (Series tied 1-1)
Blog Buddies: Mavs Moneyball | Pounding the Rock
This matchup is like a turn back the clock matchup. These two seemed to meet every year in the early 2000's. I'm looking forward to this matchup. The Mavericks were one of the favorites to represent the Western Conference but the Spurs will always be tough to beat in a 7 game series. This also shows the depth of the Western Conference where the Spurs are the 7th seed and good enough to make a run at the Finals.
Ladies and gentleman, your starting center for the Utah Jazz...Kyrylo Fesenko!
#4 Denver Nuggets @ #5 Utah Jazz (Series tied 1-1)
Blog Buddies: Denver Stiffs | SLC Dunk
When Mehmet Okur went down, I thought the Jazz would be in trouble having to start Kyrylo Fesenko, he of the 2.6 points per game and 1.8 rebounds per game. They lost a huge part of their offense, but a few guys stepped up to fill the void. And it helped that the Nuggets are not a good defensive team. A disciplined team, as the Jazz will always be under Jerry Sloan, will have a chance against a poor defensive team. This series gets interesting as it moves to Utah. If the Jazz can take both games at home, this series is over.

Great preview! / FOUL Jazz
I’m excited about Day 7 in the 2010 NBA Playoffs.
You know people always say that Jerry Sloan’s teams are so disciplined. They do run a very precise offense, but you know what? They foul like crazy on defense. People rarely bring that up. I’m not sure if that’s a sign of them being undisciplined on D or if that’s just their game plan.

# Jason Richardson: 42 points on just 19 shots! Brandan Wright: 0 points this season
Bright sides: Brandan Wright didn’t miss a shot or turn the ball over once this year! No one scored a single bucket on him. Not one!
+1

The J-Rich and Wright joke trolling should stop.
Stephen Curry is the future.

Bad move by the Heat
Can’t assume the shotclock violation
I wonder if Wade's thinking about leaving Miami
He’s not getting any scoring help
If he doesn't get some top flight free agents
he has to at least consider it

Oh it could be worse
he landed on Ray Allen’s foot after the shot
That was a bad call
He wasn’t set for the charge
Perhaps they haven't double teamed Dirk
so they can surprise him when they do
teams like the spurs and jazz plays the right way
they move the ball so well
On that other hand...
that Terry 3 makes this a tease
In your face, Mark Cuban
and now, the Nuggets @ Jazz
I'm not entirely sure who I'm rooting for
I think I’m rooting for a good game from both sides

I wonder if the lack of George Karl is really affecting the team
Some have said that the Nuggets need Karl to yell at them to keep them going
If the Jazz somehow win this series
Some heads will roll in Denver, because they should not lose to a team with injuries to 2 of their contributing players
Yeah
I don’t know if that’s just being on the road for the first time this series, or if they’re really screwed up. Game 4 is do or die for them.
