NBA SEMIS UPDATE
Kings 3: Thought they were soft? Thought wrong. Soft teams don't win in overtime with their top three players out. Bibby so far in the series - 21.5 points, with a 3.11 assist-to-turnover ratio. Put White Chocolate in his place, and its 3-1 Mavs.
Mavs 1: They look a year away - elite teams don't fade away in crunchtime.
Lakers 3: Shaq's hobbling, Kobe's hobbling - they seem to spot the Spurs a double-diget lead in each game...and they're about to put them away one more time.
Spurs 1: I haven't seen a collapse as bad as their Game 4 flame-out since...the Blazers two years ago. The biggest reason why it's been closer this year - the additional of Tony Parker. Why it hasn't mattered down the stretch - counting on a 19-year old rookie as the only support for your tripled-teamed star doesn't win many playoff games.
Nets 3: He may not be the best player in the league, but no one gets more out of his teammates than Jason Kidd. (Whistle blows - OTP has committed a overused sportscaster cliche foul)
Hornets 1: Without Mashburn, they're no more talented than New Jersey - and its no question which team has more heart. Maybe Cajun cooking will make next year's Bees a more inspired crew.
Celtics 3: For all the finger-pointing going on in Sixer-land, its becoming apparent that the team they lost to is the East's best. There are moments when Antoine Walker looks practically unguardable, and Pierce is a killer in the clutch. The prospect of a Celtics-Lakers final, frightens me. Who exactly am I supposed to root for? In the meantime, I'm hoping Jason Kidd and Chris Webber can spare me such a fate.
Pistons 1: Ben Wallace can do a lot of things - but he can not take over on the offensive end at crunchtime. This one should be over soon.
