    Us and Miami have looked like the best 2 teams SO FAR.

    Four series are tied at 2-2.

    Road teams are 19-14.

    The NBA Playoffs are INSANE.

    This has been a truly fun playoffs to watch so far.

    Just a coincidence that this is the first year in 30 without Stern at the helm? I really don't know what to think, but this has definitely been the best first round I've ever seen.

    According to Chuck/Shaq/Kenny, you can now kick a white guy in the head on the court, so long as they think it's an "accident."

    Ya they have but they're playing the Bulls without D-Rose. One might even say the Hawks have looked better

    All but the last 1/4 of the NBA season was a playoff for teams in the Western conference, and teams starting with the Blazers in the seeding were still sweating out even making the playoffs with 6 games left.

    Anyone interested in nba playoff minutes played and their correlation to wasted cap space? I just thought about that while taking a leak...the blazers are probably one of the more efficient teams in this regard. My intuition tells me that the Brooklyn nets would be first, or close to it. The rockets might be high on that list as well...

    Blair kicked Splitter in the head after being called for a foul while both were on the ground. TNT's trio all sat Blair was just mad about the foul, and that kicking Splitter in the head was an honest mistake. Blair ended up getting kicked out, but he was defended for it by the announcers.

    Maybe some bad blood there from when he was a Spur, or how they cut him loose :dunno:

    Honestly, he should be suspended for the rest of the playoffs. Kicking someone in the head could kill them.

    I don't know about suspension for the rest of the playoffs, but definitely multiple games. It is approaching Ron Artest dangerous/sociopathic.

    I didn't think it was that bad. I think Splitter rolled up on his legs unneccesarily. My first reaction would be to kick somone off of me, too. He didn't stop and think. Assess a flagrant and move on.

    This is what happens when you cross swords with another dude... Side note; the bitch they double teamed has to be like a hallway now... How do you recover from a 7'2 and 6'9 black man on the same night?
