I know I haven’t been posting much about them here, but trust me – I’ve been watching the NBA playoffs religiously, and will post my revised second round predictions in short order. Right now, I’m 5 for 6 on my original first round picks (Boston played better – and Indiana played much worse – than I had expected), and I’m feeling much happier about calling Portland over Dallas in 7 than I was when the Blazers were down 3-0. Then again, Portland deserved some karmic recompense after Coach Mo Cheeks’ star-spangled save before Game 3.

You get to amend your predictions after each round? Um, wow.
I finally got to see a Dallas-Portland game… and now I wish I hadn’t. Fugly. It was hard to tell what was good and bad about either team, since Portland was having one of those games where everything breaks right in an absurd way, and Dallas was having one of those “please god let it end now” games. Looked like Nelly was planning to just give up in the 3rd, and let his team stew in their own utter and complete stinkiness until game 7. You know, I seem to remember Don Nelson knowing how to play some D back in the day — what happened to all that knowledge?
ps I think you may be right about Bibby — he’s making an awful lot of silly turnovers this year.
That’s the beauty of having your own website…you can do whatever you want. 😉
Game 6 was a bit of a boring blowout, but I actually enjoyed this series. When Nowitzki is on, he’s REALLY on, but it was still way too easy for Portland to get a layup whenever they wanted. I think Sacramento is going to walk.
