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.[/quote]
Sorry, but height has a lot more to do with it than “heart”. There’s the very rare occasion when a little guy can play the 1 position, but there’s been a lot more sorry players who were basically just there because they were tall.

I love it when people use the whole “That win didn’t count because bla bla bla” reasoning. Like a win has a strict criteria it has to meet besides whoever has the most points. I’m sure David Stern is going to make an announcement any day now that Game 5 didn’t count because the Warriors let it get away from them

I didn’t say it didn’t count, I meant that the Mavericks didn’t dominate like they did in game 2, where they were in control. Maybe the Warriors lost game 5 on purpose for more drama so they could wrap it up at home lol jk.

My original response about Muggsy, Spud, and Earl was in response to KO421’s post. He said that he is 5’7 and he is too short to enjoy basketball. I made this comment, and he said he was just joking about the height, so it was all in good fun, after he told me he was joking.

Well I am 5’7 but I was being sarcastic, just to clarify…

Nets defeat 3) Raptors 98-97 - Jason Kidd had 18 and 15 dimes to wrap up the series 4-2 and send the Nets into the second round against the Cavs. Chris Bosh had 23 and T.J. Ford had 19 off the bench.
TMONEY1’S NEAT-O STUD OF THE NIGHT, PRESENTED BY T-Nation: Richard Jefferson. His 24 points, including the game winning shot with 8 seconds left and the game winning steal to seal the victory for the Nets.
Pistons defeat 5) Bulls 95-69 - Richard Hamilton and Chauncey Billups had 20 each and the Pistons go up 1-0 in the series. Luol Deng had 18, but the Bulls looked very average after sweeping the Heat.
Jazz defeat 4) Rockets 103-99 - Carlos Boozer had 35 and 14 and the Jazz win game 7 on the road to move on to face the Warriors. Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming had 29 each, but T-Mac will have to wait until next hear to try to make it out of the first round (0-5 in his career).
TMONEY1’S NEAT-O STUD OF THE NIGHT, SPONSORED BY T-Nation: Carlos Boozer. His 35 points and 14 boards help fuel the Jazz into the second round. He had a huge series after struggling in game 1.

Agreed on both counts.
Wilbon and Kornheiser were just talking about the NBA screwing it up again by not re-seeding for the playoffs. If they did (like the NFL and MLB do) we’d have PHO-GS, SA-UTA, DET-NJ, CLE-CHI right now.
Instead, we have both Conf finals (PHO-SA, DET-CHI) happening one round too early.
Pistons defeat 5) Bulls 108-87 - Tayshaun Prince had 25 and all the Pistons starters scored in double digits (again) to put the Pistons up 2-0 in the series. Luol Deng had 16 and Tyrus Thomas had 18 off the bench, but once again, the Bulls were dominated in all aspects of the game.
Jazz defeat 8) Warriors 116-112 - Deron Williams had 31 points, and the Jazz came from behind to beat the Warriors and take a 1-0 series lead. Baron Davis had 24, but Golden State couldn’t win it at the end.

Damn the 3’s wouldn’t drop in the 2nd half, and getting out rebounded big time, looks like a fun series though! Warriors need to take game 2 tommarow[/quote]
Yeah it’s definitely going to be a fun series. If the Warriors win game 2, it will set the tone when they head back to the Bay. I look for the Warriors to win game 3 and hopefully game 4.
