Maybe Yao paces himself.

Dallas opened up a can on San An, the Spurs aren't going anywhere. Although you have to give them credit if you consider that they're starting Matt Bonner and Micheal Finley. Why was Finley a -20? He had an otherwise sound stat-line.

I heard on the radio that the Spurs will focus on Dirk and Terry and make the other guys beat them. Barrea is the next Harris.

Yao has been pacing himself out in the 1st round the past few years then

I dont see any team in the nBA who will compete with the Lakers in 7 games --no team is going to beat the Lakers 4 times out of 7.

I have to agree, although stranger things have happened in the NBA and we know Lebron, who's team will probably represent the East in the Finals, really wants it and can carry a team. But the Lakers are too freaking stacked up and in anycase they are in an emergency, they have their own version of Lebron in Kobe.

I think it will take injury to stop them. Think about this too--they have one of the worst combination of PGs in the league--the PG is very low on the totem pole in that system. Since Farmar came back from injury hes been brutal Fischer is just OK and they are using shannon brown as the first back up. They kind of have a big 4 and great role players

The Lakers are indeed stacked... I feel almost foolish for picking against them, but I'm going to say the Cavs win it all this year. Last season, a one man team did better against the Celtics than the Lakers. This year, LeBron's supporting cast is better. I'm going with LBJ and his hunger for the chip

The Orl-Philly game is going down to the wire. First a choking job from the Magic and now a very close one with under 2 minutes left.

Iggy seems not to be able to come through in the clutch. He has mental breakdowns in pressure moments going back to last year.

Iggy just came up with a BIG and clutch jumper to give Philly an amazing comeback win.

What a choke job from Orlando.

I am happy for Iggy because he was going to be the goat in Philly tomorrow if they lost that game.

How much of a hit should Otis Smith take for signing Lewis to that silly contract. 15 points and 3 rebounds. This guy is stealing money.

Not yet Pharzone, but soon. I think it's one of those time bomb signings that will look worse and worse as time goes on. Right now they are getting by pretty well so it's swept under the rug.

How or why did the Magic pay Rashard Lewis 20mm a year? You don't win championships with players like Rashard Lewis and Hedo as your second and third options. When it comes to playoff time--they are porous defenders and overall soft players. How do you win basketball games with no PF? I know they won 59 games but it's not a team built to win NBA playoff games.

i said it the day they signed him to that contract & i will continue to say it, Rashard Lewis' contract is probably the worst value contract in basketball right now when u consider the length of years & amount of money they payed for a completely 1 dimensional player... Orlando's cap is pretty much fugged for the foreseeable future unless they find some sucker GM to take that albatross off their hands so they can make a run at someone like Deron Williams or CP3 in the coming years to play w/Dwight.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

meanwhile orlando just won 59 games and made the playoffs again.

you can't operate in a vacuum. they signed shard b/c they wanted a legitimate shooter around dwight. hedo was a better player last year than this year. they can always flip it up and move hedo for a pf in a S&T this summer if they want.

the reason they lost is b/c no jameer nelson. skip is not that good.

shard's contract is terrible, but a gm has to get talent to not only sell tickets but try to win games. holding out for the "perfect" player will leave you with your d ck in your hand and 35 win seasons.

This is true. Sometimes you gotta pull the trigger. I know he's overpaid by a mile. But Rashard is a good player (not great).

True but they could use the money more wisely.
