Meh, Dallas is v v dangerous because they can play both styles of basketball well and for once, they're very much so under the radar. Guys like Dirk/Kidd don't handle the spotlight well, they might really excel in the underdog role. | |

I will bet any amount up to 2K that the Mavs are more likely to get out of the first round than the Rockets. Bet would be a push if neither or both teams get out of the first round. | |

Remember last year when the Mavs played the Warriors in the last game of the regular season, had a chance to win the game and keep the Warriors out of the playoffs, but instead played their scrubs and went on to lose? Tonight the Hornets have a chance to knock the Mavs down to the 8th seed, or else they'll have to play the Mavs in the first round. I kind of like the Mavs so I hope history repeats itself. | |

you almost have to put detroit or boston, assuming one makes the finals, to be the favorites, because whatever west team makes it is probably going to be so drained, physically and mentally. i mean in every round they are playing an elite team, that any other year could have been top 3 in the league. | |

fwiw, I think it should be LeBron, but it's almost certainly going to be Kobe. I think. | |

Series prices are posted on Pinnacle, as usual if anyone wants action we can split the vig. I would bet on the Wizards, the Lakers, or the Jazz. And the Celtics too since they win that series 98% of the time. | |

Kobe needs to get the MVP once in his career because he's going to go down as one of the best small-fowards ever and he's going to have a fistfull of rings before it's said and done. Lebron and Chris Paul have 10+ years ahead of them, give it to Kobe already. | |

fair enough, and those are far better arguments for naming kobe the MVP than his career achievements. | |

im surprised no one thinks tmac should be at least a candidate for mvp. he led the rockets to the second longest win streak in nba history without yao, and it wasnt an easy schedule either. i dont think kg should really be a candidate honestly. the question is most VALUABLE player, and kg is playing with arguably two HOF'ers. also kobe has a good supporting cast of talent and veterans. fisher, gasol, odom, radmonovic, a few others. imo chris paul is mvp for obvious reasons, plus the fact that hes turned the hornets team around so much. before they drafted him they were god awful. | |

notice how we don't take the timeout and keep Shaq off the court | |

also i changed my mind about mvp. you have to give it to lebron. every time he isnt on the court their offense is about as good as a good college teams offense, if that. | |

its the same thing with any superstar or qb, they take most the criticism when they lose and get most the credit when the win, which is retarded imo, because theres more than one player on the floor, or field. | |

I just don't see how the Rockets have much of a chance in this series, they have no offense. Hope I'm wrong, the Jazz annoy me with their strategy of committing so many hard fouls that the refs end up not calling most of them. | |
