Cavs defeat 7) Wizards 97-90 - LeBron James had 31 and 11 and Zydrunas Ilgauskas had 20 and 19 to lead the Cavs to their first sweep in franchise history. Antawn Jamison with another monster game with 31, but the story for the Wizards is that he was the only one doing anything for the team. No Caron and Gilbert really hurt the team.
Rockets defeat 4) Jazz 96-92 - T-Mac had 26 and 16 dimes to push the Jazz to the brink of elimination. Carlos Boozer had 26 and 8 to lead the Jazz.
Spurs defeat 6) Nuggets 96-89 - Tim Duncan had 22 and 11 and Robert Horry hit a cluth three at the end of the game to put the Spurs up 3-1. Carmelo Anthony had 29 and had a chance at the end of win it, but couldn’t do it.
TMONEY1’S NEAT-O STUD OF THE NIGHT, PRESENTED BY T-Nation: LeBron James. His 31 points, 11 rebounds, and 7 assists were key in helping his Cavs sweep the Wizards.
Raptors defeat 6) Nets 98-96 - Jose Calderon scored a career high 25 points to stave off elimination at home. Vince Carter had 30, but Andrea Bargnani missed a three at the end of the game.
Mavericks defeat 8) Warriors 118-112 - The Mavericks top 6 scored in double digits, and came from behind to win and extend their season. Baron Davis had 27, but the Warriors did not have a field goal in the last several minutes of the game that could have sealed Dallas’s fate.
TMONEY1’S NEAT-O STUD OF THE NIGHT, PRESENTED BY T-Nation: Dirk Nowitzki. His 30 points, including two huge 3’s at the end of the game helped the Mavericks stay alive for at least one more game.
Just so you know, I appreciate this thread. I’ve been working some odd hours and haven’t been able to watch a single game this post season. I like that I can come on this website and get a recap.

I’m glad you appreciate the thread. I love the NBA, and talking to all the NBA fans on here. Like any sport, postseason is the best time of the season.

I think the biggest play was his block late in the game.
How the hell do you come back from 21 down to up by 9 late in the 4th… damnit

Yeah I feel ya. I’m pulling for the Warriors, I can’t believe they blew it. I think they will wrap it up at home in Game 6.

Bargnani didn’t miss the three. It was a nets player that took it in the end going for a win and not a tie. Any who, go TORONTO!!! I can see them dragging it into game 7 if they get they’re head right. I just hope TJ Ford wasn’t injured badly when carter fell on him. I think Calderone’s foot should heal pretty soon too, otherwise we’re fucked.

I meant to type Bostjon Nachbar, not Andrea Bargnani. My apologies C-Bonics, thanks for catching that bro.
Yeah I hope TJ is ok as well. He’s already been through enough with his neck/back injury early in his career. Regardless, Chris Bosh is a stud, and will be for many years to come. He has cool hair also.
Do you think Sam Mitchell will leave after this year? His contract expires after this season, and after winning Coach of the Year, he’ll probably want $4 million a year.
Spurs defeat 6) Nuggets 93-78 - Tim Duncan had 23 and 12 and the Spurs finished off the Nuggets by winning 4 straight games and the series 4-1. AI and Melo had 21 each, but the Spurs experience was too much for them.
Suns defeat 7) Lakers 119-100 - Amare Stoudemire had 27 and 16 and Shawn Marion added 26 to finish off the Lakers 4-1. Kobe had 34 and Lamar Odom came up big and had 33, but it was not enough for the Lakers.
TMONEY1’S NEAT-O STUD OF THE NIGHT, SPONSORED BY T-Nation: Michael Finley. His 26 points (including 8 3’s!!!) helped the Spurs into the next round. Spurs always count on veterans, and Finley came up huge.
OK it is still early but I am pumped for the Warrior game, I am by no means a huge basketball fan either (hard to like basketball to much when your 5’7 haha)

It’s all about heart, not height. Muggsy Bogues is 5’3, Spud Webb is 5’7, and Earl Boykins is 5’5, and they have heart, not height. But yeah I hear ya, I’m pretty excited about today’s game as well. The Warriors should have wrapped it up Tuesday, but hopefully they can close the door tonight.

Yeah, I’m really looking fwd to this game as well. This has easily been the most entertaining playoff series so far by far.
I think the other remaining Western Conf series will go 7 and that last game should be good too.

I know I was just making a joke, I’ve done fine in athletics…
Jazz defeat 4) Rockets 94-82 - Carlos Boozer had 22 and 9 to tie up the series and force game 7 in Houston. Tracy McGrady had 26 and 10 and Yao Ming added 25, but was defended well all night.
Warriors defeat 1) Mavericks 111-86 - Stephen Jackson had 33 and the Warriors pull off the biggest upset in the history of NBA Playoff history and win the series 4-1. Josh Howard and Jerry Stackhouse had 20 each, and Dirk Nowitzki was held to 8 points.
TMONEY1’S NEAT-O STUD OF THE NIGHT, SPONSORED BY T-Nation: Stephen Jackson. His 33 points helped his Warriors into the next round with a very impressive series win against the Mavericks. Great all around team effort.
I just want to give props to the Golden State Warriors. That was extremely impressive what they did throughout the series. The Mavs really only won one game, because the Warriors let game 5 get away.
Every year in the NBA Playoffs, there is one player who rises above the rest and makes a name for himself. This year: Stephen Jackson. Beastly performances all series, and capped it off with 33 to finish off the Mavs.
Job well done Warriors, see you in the next round. Glad you are here.

HELL YES!!! AWESOME game! I loged on right now thinking “tmoney better have gave Stephen Jackon stud of the night” lol…
If you didn’t I was going to have to do it myself, Stephen Jackson for “straight thuggin the court”
So who do you think Golden State matches up better with? I dont follow every team to close. Houston?

HAHA straight thuggin the court. Yeah Stephen Jackson definitely deserved stud of the night. It wasn’t even close.
I think the Warriors match up better with Utah. The Warriors don’t really have anyone to guard Andrei Kirilenko, Mehmet Okur and Carlos Boozer, and the Jazz don’t really have anyone to guard Baron Davis, Stephen Jackson, and Jason Richardson. It would really be an inside-outside matchup. The Jazz will get their points inside, the Warriors will get their points outside. It would be an interesting series, especially the Baron Davis-Deron Williams matchup.
But if the Warriors want to get to the Western Conference Finals, it would be better for them to play Houston. Even though the Rockets have Yao Ming, the Warriors are way too fast for the Rockets, and their small ball and speed will dominate them. Tracy McGrady will score his share of points, but I think the Warriors would take care of them.
4/20/07 Nobody would have ever convinced me that GoldenState would beat The Mavs.
5/04/07 Hindsight, It all makes sense. Baron Davis has always been a stud, Don Nelson is a master coach, and Avery is the Grasshopper. Everything else just fell in place.
If I had Hindsight when gambling I would be rich.
If golden state continues to shoot the way they have they can beat everybody.
Won’t happen.
Baron Davis has always been a stud, but he ALWAYS gets hurt. He’s great for about 30 games a season, including the end of the regular season he has what 20 games left?
They should be able to get past the next round though.
