Just when you thought Orlando was going to win. 76ers came back, with Iggie’s game winning shot… unbelievable!!

The result of that game sort of shocked me.[/quote]

Yeah, I didn’t see that coming, that was a great finish. Iggy putting the nail in the coffin on the road in game 1 was mega.

And I thought the Heat would score more than 64 points, but obviously I was mistaken.

Been out of town and late to the party. Great start to the playoffs. I’ll see if I can get some pics up from first-round games going.


Dahntay Jones of Denver goes up for – and misses – the dunk against Julian Wright of the New Orleans Hornets in Game 1. But at least it looks good here.


Denver’s Mr. Big Shot couldn’t be stopped in Game 1.

Rare bright spot for Miami. Jermaine O’Neal rejects the shot of Atlanta’s Al Horford in Game 1.

Miami Heat in 6!

As a Heat fan I wish to see them in the finals, but honestly there is no way they are going to get past the second round.

Cavs/Lakers Finals is most likely. It will be a great series to watch, seeing Lebron and Kobe go at it![/quote]

jermaine oneal has some long arms, al horford is at least 3 inches higher than him and still oneals hands are higher than his.


Miami and Michael Beasley had no answer for Atlanta’s Josh Smith.

In Orlando, in was all Dwight Howard and the Magic for most of the game…

But Andre Iguodala stuck it to the Magic in the end.

What can you say? Fourth quarter = Kobe time.

Trevor Ariza had a nice Game 1 for the Lakers against Utah.

Chicago’s Derrick Rose was just too sweet against Boston. He tied Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s record for most points in his playoff debut with 36.

EDIT: I should clarify, rookie debut.

It was a tough night during Game 1 for Paul Pierce and the defending champs. We’ll see how they bounce back.


Yao Ming did whatever he wanted in Game 1 against Portland. It was probably the Rockets’ best performance of the season.

Kind of a cool pic of Portland’s Nicolas Batum swinging from the rim after a Game 1 dunk against the Rockets.


When this guy gets rolling, it’s pretty much over.

Rodney Stuckey and the Pistons just had a bad day at the office in Game 1 against the Cavs. Zydrunas Ilguaskas blocks Stuckey’s shot here.

YES, Xene is back!!

meanwhile, Ben Gordon is All-World down the stretch right now.
