Memphis   97    OKC    96     I love the Shane Battier factor

Miami   88     Chi    103    Chicago has only played two good games so far.  Even Thibideau will be ready for this one (I really appreciate him as the finest x's and o's coach ever; I think he has cost the Bulls about 10 games this year {8 regular season;  2 playoffs} because he stuck with his so-called "starting unit" way too long, in both the 2nd AND 3rd quarters.  I do not think the Heat to be an even "good" team.  It is at best a 2nd tier team, and "team" is too strong of a word to define it.  They should rid themselves either of Bush or LeBron, and if I were Pat Riley, I'd send LeBron back to Cleveland for some REAL talent.  This would sink Cleveland's chances of making the NBA finals for the next 15 years.

RESULTS to DATE:

Won 1     Lost   0

One game only tonight -- OKC vs Memphis

Classical example - two top tier teams - advantage goes to home court

LISTENING TO THE ANNOUNCERS OF THE 76ER'S @ MIAMI HEAT GAME YOU MIGHT

BE LED TO CONCLUDE THAT PHILLY HAS NO CHANCE.


AU CONTRAIRE, MONSEIUR.  PHILLY HAD MISSED 3 FREE THROWS, ONE 3' SHOT, AND TURNED THE BALL OVER ON A CRITICAL LOW POST POSESSION AND THEY ARE KEEPING IT CLOSE.  LEBRON WON'T SCORE - AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PHILLY'S GOING TO FOUL. BOSH MADE A LONG JUMPER AND WILL BE LIKELY TO LOOK FOR THAT SHOT.  SO IT WILL DEVOLVE TO D. WADE VS A BASKETBALL TEAM ... AND AS GOOD AS D. WADE IS, HE JUST ISN'T THAT GOOD.


LOOKING FOR PHILLY TO UPHOLD AND JUSTIFY MY PICKING THEM TO UPSET THE HEAT.

The Grizzlies are now 3-2 against the Spurs this season.


NO   99    LAL   103          109-100

With their tumultuous regular season finally a memory, Paul said the Hornets were almost unbearably eager for the playoffs to start.

Maybe that’s why New Orleans got the drop on the defending champs in a stunning series opener.  

NYK   103   BOS   106       85-87

“We’ve got to find a way to win down the stretch,” Stoudemire said. “We had a great chance to win. We played well throughout the full 48 minutes. We just didn’t quite close it out.”

DEN   88   OKC   103         103-107

HAD THE BIG THREE OF MIAMI PLAYED B-BALL LIKE THIS ALL YEAR, THEY MIGHT HAVE GONE 82-0
