    A good lesson for the Blazers. When you have a good team down, you put them out. Now, both ATL and MEM have to try to win Game Seven on the road. They had those teams down (MEM lost a Game Four they should have won).

    Let's hope Game Five didn't give Houston too much life.

    Difference is ATL and MEM won their game 5s. Blazers lost their game 5. Blazers should come out with more fire.

    I actually think if Indy and okc can get past these first round matchups that they will play eachother for a title.

    Is it just me or is Blake Griffin one of the biggest floppers in the league?

    Hate the Rockets shirts, but I like the Golden State ones. Maybe it is because Jessica Alba is a fan and she'd look good in anything.

    Reggie Miler said earlier that a wide open 3 is the hardest shot in basketball

    Are you serious? You predicted all this? It's been the most unpredictable playoffs ever. You think the NBA made Durant step up tonight? He did it on his own.

    I believe it. They always hesitate first and then shoot it. It's that hesitation that makes it so much harder. Dame is usually pretty good at hitting an open three, but I've seen him miss them.

    Davis obviously meant to run over O'Neal. He even stood over him and gave him the Mean Mug. How was that not a flagrant foul?

    The worst thing about nationally televised games...

    They don't show replays of the really bad foul calls.

    This. It's so annoying. I'm sure that comes from on high.

    I guess JJ Redick is allowed to slam the floor and yell FUUUCCCCKKK! after an obvious foul is called on him, and not get a technical.

    I hate JJ Redick. I'm not saying I'm objective here.
