Look at it this way, the Knicks allowed the Celtics some rest before they take on the team everybody hates.

Btw, I didn't think Carmelo was as good a player as he showed in game 2.

Things starting to get a little scary for the Lakers?


Dude... this could be any post season over the past 3 years...

That Memphis team is playing some inspired b'ball right now. Easily the most in-sync team right now in basketball. Classic example of that old cliche about the whole being greater than the sum of its parts. If Randolph can keep this level of play up, it'll get very interesting.

Boston looked too old against the Heat, don't think they can keep up with the Heat's athleticism and exuberance.

As for the other two series Chicago handled Atlanta comfortably the last time they met, so they should go through easy, maybe a sweep there. And the Lakers should get it done against Dallas, unless Nowitzki has an epic series.

Agreed on Memphis! Tho' to be honest? As a Lakerfan, I'd still rather face the Grizz than OKC.

Well... thus far all that's happened was Miami held serve. If any team can turn stuff around, it'd be the hated foe. And for all the Heat's advantages in game 1, they only won by 9 points. If Boston can take game 2, Miami are in real trouble.

Agreed on Chicago, but I think Atlanta'll get 1 or maybe even 2. I think (and 'bold prediction' here) Derrick Rose is going to slow down a bit as the playoffs proceed.

I think LA will get past Dallas too. Looking at the match-ups, there isn't a single one that clearly favours Dallas. I know that basketball's not so simple as looking at the man-to-man match-ups... but it certainly helps to hold that advantage!

After watching last night, I'm rather confident in the Lakers. It might sound counter-intuitive, considering the loss, but they know what they need to do next time to get the victory and I'm confident that they can do it. They played well, except for the times that they didn't ;). I was generally unimpressed with Dallas (though, as always, Dirk impresses me). My only concerns are Pau and Artest...they need to step up a bit.

After tonight I fear that Miami will win the thing. They will beat the Celtics it seams and I think they can easily handle the Bulls or Hawks. In the Finals they will meet the Mavs or (I hope) OKC. But with both I'm not sure if they can beat James+Wade.

I'm hoping for Heat vs OKC, "fake tough guy versus scoring champ".
