Last Laugh?
Well, that whole Jason Kidd thing sure is working out, huh Mark Cuban?
Just finished watching Chris Paul destroy Kidd and the Hornets - think Avery Johnson will have a job for long after this one? Never say never, but the Mavs look dead in the water, with a second straight first round exit awaiting them. Poor Dirk, he's searching desperately for help, and the guy with the best credentials for playoff stress is playing horribly.
Kind of hard to root for Byron Scott over Kidd, but hey, he's earned the delicious irony that is beating Kidd after Kidd ran him out of town...
In other playoff series, nice job of quitting while ahead by the Pistons on Sunday. Surprising Sixers continue to get it done without any superstars and well known faces.
The Lakers cruised, no surprise.
The Cavs are up 2- 0 over the Wiz, who are playing worse with the return of Gilbert Arenas from injury. Somehow, I don't think that's going to help his case (or Eddie Jordan's) when it comes to sticking around next season.
The Spurs won a marathon against the high scoring marathon experts, and how bizarre is it that Tim Duncan drops a three to send the game into 2OT? That Spurs team is the best at making something out of nothing, for about a decade now.
No real surprises in the Celtics win over the too young to understand Hawks. The balance that team shows is incredible.
The Jazz have the Rockets number. And you can write it down - Tracy McGrady, for all his talent, isn't a guy who wins a championship, or a guy you build a team around. He's like his cousin Vince Carter - good support player, comes up small when it really matters.
The Magic appear to be in firm control against the Raptors after a tight one point win tonight. The Raptors need to get rid of Sam Mitchell if they get bounced in the first round again, no excuses. Of course, deep down it's very satisfying to watch the collapse in the post season.
Overall, though - it's been a good start to the NBA postseason. Here's hoping it continues to keep my interest going, to distract all the sins that need correcting on the Nets roster this offseason.
