Playoff Open Thread - Game #2: Warriors @ Jazz - A Change in Fluidity
Warriors: 0-1 (4-3 for the playoffs) Jazz: 1-0 (5-3 for the playoffs) Time: 6:00 PST TV: TNT Radio: KNBR 680 Okay! Here we go! I think it's safe to say, despite our loss, Game 1 was a pretty good game. Keep in mind had we won, that "pretty good" would have been promoted to…

Happy (belated) Birthday, Amir Johnson!
Anyone who visited this site in the regular season knows that we are huge Amir Johnson fans, so I definitely appreciated the following article in today’s Detroit Free Press: Johnson played 22 games for Sioux Falls, averaging 18.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 3.1 blocks per game. [Sioux Falls…

The other series is dragging, eh
Toronto -- So I busted tail up here to T.O. after the Cavs took care of business in the lower 48 to watch what I thought was going to be a closeout game last night between the Raptors and Nets....

Cavs gut one out, 81-77
--Make no mistake, the Cavs won this game with defense. This is a Mike Brown special. The Cavs held the Nets to 6-of-19 shooting in the fourth quarter and 37 percent for the game. Vince Carter was just 7-of-23, Jason...

Don't take it for granted
Washington -- It may have seemed routine and, all things considered, easy for the Cavs to dispatch the Wizards in four games. There was franchise history made tonight. The Cavs had never swept a series, they'd never even won back-to-back...

Halftime, Cavs by 2
--The game is being played at the Cavs pace with the score 43-41, the Nets can win a game like this but would prefer to run a little more. Still both teams have things to be happy and upset about.--The...

One quarter down, Cavs up 23-20
--After Mikki Moore scored three quick baskets, Mike Brown switched Zydrunas Ilgauskas to him instead of Drew Gooden. Still, it appears Gooden was following a game plan by double-teaming Vince Carter and Jason Kidd off pick-and-rolls when Moore got free...

Rough and tough, tied at 59-59 after 3
--The Nets aren't doing anything special, but LeBron hasn't been a major factor. They are bringing help but LeBron hasn't deep posted or driven much at all. You can double him 25 feet from the hoop without feeling much pain...

Second round begins
Here live at the Q, where there is a very late arriving crowd. A couple of notes to pass along before this game starts. First off, LeBron James is under the weather. He's battling a cold and had to leave...

The start of a gritty series
The Cavs didn't play very well today and still won. On the other hand, the Nets didn't play very well and nearly stole a road game less than two days after they won their previous series. The Cavs did a...

Scouting the Nets
Finally it is known for sure the Cavs will get the New Jersey Nets in the second round. Although Game 6 tonight was much tighter than I thought. The Raptors died hard. Here are the game times:Game 1 - Sunday,...

The wins keep on coming
Before tonight's, well considering I'm getting to this at 2 a.m., last night's game, I told a handful of people I thought the Nets would win Game 2. I heard some of the things the Nets said they planned to...

Suns Pull Away, 101-81 (Series Tied, 1-1)
An anonymous zombie-witch hybrid screams at the officials.I'm sure everyone out there is thinking "Hey, I wonder what Zei thinks about the game tonight!", and I'll not disappoint! ... Nobody is wondering? Nobody? Okay... but I'm still going to tell you. The Suns played with energy and really wanted…

No Doubting Thomas
I'm paying special attention to the Kurt Thomas effort tonight. My observations will be in the comments.
