OK, here we go.  The thread is open for your discussion pleasure.

No pictures, no trolling, and keep the discussion game-related.

This is a huge game.  Get pumped!

Yep, we had a problem here at home, and we had to cancel on wed (we were leaving thurs). She felt terrible though (since I haven’t seen a game this season), so she told me that I’d better get tickets to the playoffs, even if I overpaid, to make up for it.

If they steal one of the first two games they could although away in Denver is always hard

One advantage they might have is that slower pace in the playoffs doesn’t matter so much for them. Kidd is more useful when things are going faster, but Dirk, Terry and Howard work just as well in slower pace.

I laughed when the guys on NBA Fastbreak declared them to most dangerous team for the Mavs

Based on having played them 1-1 and their “deep athletic bench”. They called their abysmal road record against playoff teams “less than stellar”. Nice euphemism.

Greg Oden = Robert Parish (HOF, 4x NBA champion, 9x NBA All-Star). The only other rookie with more than 500 points, 399 rebounds, and 66 blocks in under 1400 minutes played. Since 1946.
