Nugs rampaging over NO in the second half. Of course, we've seen them start fast before in a playoff series then fade. I'm not watching the game, but I think Denver is going to win the series... they keep surprising me this year.

What happened to the Hornets? They were so good last year, now they are just average at best. They had a great year last year, added talent in the off season, and now they suck. I'm not taking anything away from Denver, they are a solid team, but the Hornets just bent over in that game.

Well they lost Pargo, they nearly traded away one of their best players which probably caused some turmoil, they battled injuries all year (and still aren't healthy), and they still don't have a good enough bench.

During the off season, I figured that them getting Posey would make them better, but he apparently was a big mistake. I guess I didn't realize how important Pargo was to them, but they are clearly not the team they used to be. You would think a team with CP3, Peja, West, and Chandler would be pretty deadly.
Apparently not.

Chandler was too often injured. And Daniels can't play, as I am right now watching the second game!

Billups is just amazing in this series. Detroit is so stupid for trading him.

Truer words have never been spoken. Billups is scary good.

Tyson Chandler is garbage. The more I watch the series, the less I am interested in him.I prefer keeping Shaq and his expiring contract.

Chandler is probably still hurt. I wouldn't put as much stock in this season.

Wow Paul really stepped up with 4 pts! What the hell happened to the Hornets? By the way for supposedly the best PG in the league to have 4pts is totally unacceptable and Billups freakin owns him!

Think the Suns would have shown up much better than Utah, Portland, NO, and Spurs have no question!
Might have. Or might have played like they did against Sacramento and Dallas down the stretch.
