Dwight Howard has 30 points in the first half. The Magic are losing though.

Pretty good first half. Figured this series would be unwatchable like it has been the last couple times. Atlanta has a nice game plan...let Dwight go off and contain everyone else.

I'm guessing they used our games vs them in their preparation for this series. I hope Dwight gets 50 or 60 and they lose.

dont worry, gilbert's about to go off like it's 2003

[bcl412]

I kind of had a feeling that this series was going to go deep but If some non-Dwight players don't step up the Hawks could take this series. Which would be great because I would much rather have the Bulls play them.

[SpongeWorthy]

What's the situation on Dwight and missing games for picking up more Ts? He's definitely going to deck Pachulia and/or Collins in this series.

[SpongeWorthy]

lol, and he decks Pachulia

[SpongeWorthy]

ESPN has the nerve to have some (I'm assuming hot) pop skank sing a cover of Black Dog when going to/from commercial and not show her strutting around in like leather and hooker boots

Dwight Howard with an empty 45/17. def not mvp

[Careless]

8 turnovers for Howard? Was he playing a hybrid PG/C?

 

edit: ouch, 9 against the Lakers in a game earlier this season

[chuckywang]

And down go the Spurs

[SpongeWorthy]

Aaron Gray explodes as a real world Paul Bunyan, swinging his magical axe directly into the Laker trees & cutting them down with authority!

Hey Phil, switching on screens and having Pau Gasol routinely guard Chris Paul probably isn't a good idea.

This has been a pretty crazy set of Game 1's

[SpongeWorthy]

Gray sounds like a beached whale

[SpongeWorthy]

Well it's always fun to see the Lakers lose but Paul's whole act is so tiresome I can't get that happy about it.

I feel a lot better about the Bulls struggling after seeing the Heat, Spurs and Lakers all struggle too.

You forgot the Magic as well. I'm sure the Celtics are salivating at the opportunity to out-struggle everyone else.

This playoffs is only 2 days old and its already looking highly competitive

[SouthSideRyan]

Glen Davis is infuriating

On the contrary, I have a feeling the Knicks are about to find out how non-contending they really are this week.

Dont worry about the Celtics guys, they are just resting for the playoffs, and trying to not get Orlando.....

Thankfully, the Celtics wouldn't want to leave us disappointed.

Second round:

 

Bulls vs. Hawks

Sixers vs. Knicks

 

It would set up like the Bears playoff run.

I'd say the Heat would make for a better mirror of the Bears' situation as they would be like the Packers - a bit underachieving but capable of wining it all.
