    This game is incredibly fast paced right now. Both teams are going to the basket and getting denied then sprinting down the other way in transition, kinda ugly with all the misses but exciting, too.

    I really hope the Nuggets upset Spurs, or at least tire them out by taking them to 7.

    What a pickup, Nazi Mohammed! I really admire Pop for his magics in getting the players he wants. Now Rasho is out, but they are not missing a beat.

    I just figured out why i despise the Spurs ... they remind me of the 1990's Utah Jazz. They flop too much, they whine too much, and they get all the calls. (Not to mention they almost signed Karla!!!)

    Gino and Parker are the key, they keep driving and slashing at will. Contain them and you can keep the Spurs down. I remember in the game where Tim was out, Gino kept driving and slashing and we had no answer for him, result was a loss.

    Holy crap, Andre Miller with the half court shot at the end of the half...ties it up. Seems we've got a ballgame.

    So Andre Miller just hit a 3 from like half-court before the buzzer sounded at the half, and the Nuggets finished on an 11-2 run. I'm glad the Nuggets are hangin' tough. It'd be better for a certain team to face the Nugz instead of the Spurs in the WCF.

    This game is so much more physical than our game. Guys going down on every possession. In order to get a foul you gotta get mugged hard. I'd love to see Dirk play in this type of game.

    Wow, TNT can't get the feed from San Antonio to work right now (the start of the half). I'd be so pissed if I was a fan of one of those teams. I gotta see every second of the Rockets in the playoffs. This better not happen with the Rockets, or there will be hell to pay.


    EDIT: Okay, they got it, but you can't tell how much time there is or the score.

    Boy, Ginobili is just the cheapest, dirtiest player in this league. On that last possession, he went to his bag of tricks and tried his patented "drive the lane recklessly with no intention of shooting and hope to draw contact and then a foul" and then tried to flop on Miller hoping to draw a charge. Thank you refs for not giving these cheap plays to him. That is just not how basketball is meant to be played. By back-door trickery. I hate Ginobili.

    THE SPURS ARE CHOKING AT HOME!!!

    I LOVE THIS!

    Their record after leading after 3 is 29-1.

    This is awesome!


    I hate him, too. He annoys me so much. Bowen and Parker can suck it, too.

    Duncan just flat out choked. Missed two gimme shots under the basket. Wow. This looks like it's going to be one hell of a series.

    Does the winner of this series play the winner of Dallas/Houston?

    Did you see his elbow in the first half? I think it was Buckner that he floored.

    No, they play the winner of Seattle and Sacramento. We wouldn't see either until the Western Conference Finals.
