Not a lot of basketball fans here?
Anyway, I'm pretty disappointed by how the Mavericks are playing. They're breaking down every 4th quarter. I think it's because they don't have a second threat that can take over when Nowitzki gets hounded and loses his touch. Howard continue to be inconsistent and Terry, as cool as he is, just doesn't command the court even when he's shooting well. And Jason Kidd continues to suck. Half the time, all I see him do is leave Dampier with the ball at the top of the key. His threes are better this year, but Harris can do that too, while being quicker and much better at defense. Plus, the bench is unproductive except for Bass and Green, which isn't enough.
Other teams: I'm surprised the Nets and Knicks are doing as well as they are. And I can't believe Nash got suspended for trying to hold Barnes and Alston back. He ran over, got pushed down by McGrady (who really had no reason for doing so; he should be trying to stop the problem, not start one), had his arm pulled at by Alston, and get suspended? Shaq stepping in was pretty funny though.
I expect a Celtics-Lakers rematch in the Finals.
