That should have been a foul

LeBron drew contact and everything. He’s even shaken up.

End of the 1st quarter

Granger hits another buzzer beater. Where did this dude come from? I never heard of him last year, did you? I remember him earlier in the season hitting a buzzer beater against Phoenix that even the announcer thought shouldn’t have happened.

Where's the foul?

He got pushed down!

Ah, the Sweet Escape

Why isn’t that played on the radio anymore? It’s better than any pop station I tune into these days.

That jump shot from Mo looked so good

Yeah, it counts and Williams draws contact!

Get out the way.

D West and Joe Smith are putting a lot of effort into this

IMPOSSIBLE SHOT BY LEBRON JAMES

Wrapped up, still managed to toss it in with contact

Chicago and Detroit are now playing

I want Chicago to win. I’d rather face Detroit than Chicago in the first round.

by WaveOcean on Apr 13, 2009 6:54 PM CDT reply actions

would rather face Philly .. if they lose their last 2, we just might get them

Yeah, but I don't think that's going to happen.

Or if it does, they won’t fall all the way to number 8

Need two Det wins, two Philly losses

by talonk on Apr 13, 2009 6:59 PM CDT up reply actions

If Philly loses to Boston and @Cavs, they’ll be 40-42, if Detroit beats Chi tonite and @Miami, they’ll be 41-41, and if Chi loses tonite and beats Toronto, they’ll be 41-41. That is the easiest scenario.
