    3rd quarter has been their Achilles heel. Next twelve minutes will be make or break for Spurs, I mean the Spurs.

    The most important quarter of their season so far.

    Yeah, I'd be shocked if the Hornets manage to come back and win this game. San Antonio is putting them away.

    Hooray for boring Basketball.

    So much for that 3rd quarter Achilles Heel :D. Will they get too comfortable in the 4th though?

    ^^^^Unbelievable!!!

    Congrats, da Bulls truly "won" the lottery. You give hopes to similar teams, like my Warriors, who every season seem to either grab a low seed in the playoffs or the 9th-12th pick in the draft.

    If by choke, you mean carry his team to the national championship game before being beaten by a better team, then yes. ;)

    Kansas wasn't necessarily the better team, it was Memphis choking on their clutch free-throws that really killed them.

    just watched game 1 without knowing the score...loved it.

    were probably watching the whole series like this, although I'm showing major withdrawl symptoms cause I'm not able to check sites like deadspin and cnnsi during the day, sites I normally check about, oh say, every 15 minutes :D

    I have always followed the NBA off and on, and I'm a huge fairweather fan, and why wouldnt I be, of course :D

    basically, for the past years I've been rooting for any team to beat the Spurs. The Suns, the Hornets this year. I watched the Lakers a lot during their 3 title run, so I'm all for them to finish the Spurs :)

    And i'm all for Kobe playing like he did during the second half in game 1. Damn.
