That's one way to set yourself up for disappointment.

The way I see it, basically the only team in the playoff pool that consistently presents the Lakers with matchup problems is the Trail Blazers. Home field advantage all the way till the Finals comes handy in that case.

@ Denver L 97-99
vs Denver L 101-103

Or because Dallas is 18-23 on the road and will play in Denver?

SA? Ginobili is out. They're not going anywhere.

I can't see anything besides Lakers Cavs by the way but that should be a fun Finals.

I'm not saying Dallas should be favored but I think they are playing much better as of late and could pull the upset. I don't think SA beating Denver, even without Ginobili, would be much of an upset. They've owned them for years.

How good is Derek Rose?! My God, Brad Miller sucks.

You're right, Dallas is hot right now and I think they will "upset" SA. It's not much of an upset because of Ginobili's injury. They really struggled without him, 3-6 in the month of October for instance and this isn't a few years ago, this is 2009. I just don't see it.

Yikes, Boston is worse than I thought...

Then again they sucked it up early in the playoffs last year too.

This is what happens when your star big man is out. KG is essentially what makes the Celtics the team they are.

Ray Allen.. what a loser. His asshole puckers up all tight when it counts. Don't think he can wait until the 3rd round this year..

Cavs 4 Lakers 3, refs will make sure LBJ wins this year.

Last night was a disappointment as the Knicks have yet again failed to deliver a win in a first-round playoff game.

We never lost at home last year until the Eastern Conference Finals. We are screwed this year

Well Rockets pounded the Blazers. The Blazers are also a young team with nothing to lose. I hope they come back and make it a competitive series.

I think the Blazers are the team with the best shot of beating the Lakers if they can get past the Rockets. I'm ready for a Blazers v Thunder WCF rivalry in a couple of years.

David Stern just threw up in his mouth a little bit.

JESUS SHUTTLESWORTH

Awesome performance by BG tonight though. The Bulls have way too many talented PGs for their own good - but whatever they're doing it's working
