I respect that, and feel your pain.

Woot, Hornets pwned Dallas!

Awesome!

Now if the Suns can come back, which I doubt. It would be awesome.

Josh Howard is frigging garbage. Im in shock that he is so beloved down here.

Go lakers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

so is Utah going to crumble and allow the Rockets to take this series? I don't know that I can see Houston winning all 4 games in a row, but I guess anything is possible, after all they did have that 22 game streak, maybe they are set for another miracle...

Obviously Utah is still the favorite here, but their last two games have been yuckfest...they are really making their supporters look silly...

So are Avery and D'antoni on the way out? both coaches have been rumored to be out the door by ESPN and SI, ESPN even reported last night that Avery was fired after the loss but no one has confirmed this...

both of these teams need to beat down JVG's door if the rumors are true...JVG running that Suns team would be ridiculous...

dam I really wanted Philly to take the Pistons...

Toronto's front line is soft. They have no one who matches up with Dwight Howard. Detroit has plenty of depth in the front court and is more physical. Detroit has basically owned Howard his whole career. He was basically non-existent in the playoffs last year against Detroit. Detroit has faced better big men in the playoffs then Howard.

Haha, name a center they've guarded with more tenacity and energy than Howard right now.

He's the best center in the game, hands down.

Detroit should be frightened at the least by Howard, if they even make it to the second round...

i agree, howard is an animal, detroit stopped him cuz of big ben... howard had 3 or 4 games with 20 points and 20 boards, first time since wilt in 72!!!!!! dont that say something

no his #'s are not impressive because it was the Raptors //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

also Ben Wallace was not part of the Detroit Pistons last season and had nothing to do with Dwight's #'s...But it's a new year and Dwight is a new man...we'll see what happens...

[bsean63 10+ year member]
