Well, the streak is over. Twenty straight wins, including two playoff sweeps. But I don't think that one loss will stop the Spurs. They should come back from it with a vengeance.

[elton]

am suprised that the Spurs streak id end, ESPN did have a graphic up today that showed the all time wining streak in the NBA and not one Celtic team made the list, amazing. don't think MJ's Bulls were on that list either...

[Cyclicymn]

Lakers 104 - Nuggets 100. That makes it 2-0. Do I smell a sweep?

Celtics 87 - Hawks 80. What's with Rondo?? I think he's listening to his own press too much.

76ers 109 - Bulls 92. Series is split 1-1, but with Rose gone I doubt the Bulls can pull it off.

Stoudemire's a fucking idiot for punching the fire extinguisher case. He'll undoubtedly use his injury to excuse the Knicks' getting knocked out first round.

Coach Pop (Gregg Popovich) deserved his Coach of the Year award. I can't believe it's only 2 in his career. The guy's a legend.

in what sense? you don't think Jerry Slone is in that same talk (although he never did have a Championship)

wtf is the nba? lmao

It's hard to talk about Pop without mentioning Sloan.

Sloan’s stamp evident on Jazz

http://rockmonster.blogs.deseretnews...ich-brilliant/ “To give him (Popovich) Coach of the Year award, we almost slight him a little bit by doing that,” Layden continued. “It really should be the coach Red Auerbach/Coach Popovich Award. That should be instilled to other coaches. So he’s someone special.”
Layden also had high praise for Sloan.
“Same with Coach Sloan, throw his name on that award, as well,” Layden said. “So Coach Popovich is a guy who’s a brilliant basketball mind, but would never toot his own horn or talk about himself. It’s all about the team...." http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...urs-muse-again Popovich has copied Sloan's formula and used it to do what the Utah legend could not, win championships. Again, Pop would tell you he never had to gameplan against Michael Jordan. That Duncan guy might get mentioned again.

Of course, Sloan's retired!

Spurs 114
Jazz 83

I missed that Clippers game but saw the Mavs get slapped. They're playing #2 late tonight.
Right now it's NY 73, MIA 84 with 8:30 left in the 4th.

A couple of my students call me Larry Bird. The first time I just laughed and complimented their knowledge of history.

Bird owns the Pacers now. $$$$$

OKC has it 3-2. They've beaten the Spurs in San Antonio. They are an incredibly good team. Gotta give 'em props. Right now I'm watching the Celtics-Heat game with one eye now. Every time I look up the score is tied. It's almost 4th quarter now.

[Cyclicymn]

Spurs 96
Clippers 86
Do I smell another sweep?
This was a weird game. It set some kind of record because no one has ever come back to win a playoff game after ending the 1st quarter so far behind (24 pts).

Pacers and Miami Heat are playing tomorrow. The Pacers is another team I'm watching because George Hill left the Spurs to be their starting point guard. Watching him send Lebron James on vacation would be sweet!

any team that can send King Fail and his minions away gets a check mark in my book.....never seen such an anti-team player....thinking the only way that he will get a ring is if he gets married!

[Cyclicymn]

Well they're on network TV this afternoon. Let's see if the extra attention makes a difference. It'll end either 2-2 and the Heat back in the race or 3-1 and the Pacers all but assured to advance.

and it sucks that the Celtics aren't playing today....would be a nice graduation present....send Lebron packing (almost)amazes me you take one away from their trio and they fall on the floor...and Wade having a tussle with his coach...and to see the Celtics push the Sixers to the brink
