2-0

Yes. Sweep. Good.

^ am not trying to crash your party, but last year those poor Mavs' fans were saying the same thing after game 2 heading to Miami... and I believe the Bulls also led 2-0 against the Wiz in 2005 before losing the next 4 in a row too. Ouch!

BTW, rummy, earlier I said if the Rockets win their series, AK47 shall be named MVP for the Rockets. Obviously you didn't get that subtle joke. If the Rockets win, they must "thanks" him for playing so poorly on both ends of the floor. Ain't him the MVP?

they were also without eddy curry in that series. All we had was tyson chandler and an old ass antonio davis for our bigs. All they had to do was attack the post. and the mavs lost because they didn't take the heat serious after the first two games. they clearly thought they had it in the bag and didn't turn it up until it was to late. the bulls are not overlooking the heat one bit. they have taken care of buisness so far and I don't see them lettting up. If they get one in miami it will be over in 5.

^ I hope so, I can't stand the Heat!

I'd love to see the Bulls sweep the Heat and Houston sweep Utah.

Of course I want the Spurs to win, but they already fucked up getting a sweep. Bastards.

Hopefully they play better tomorrow. Duncan had a pathetic game Sunday and AI and 'Mello were on fuckin' fire (combined for 61 points).

Hey Spurs dude, the problem with your team is not Duncan. You guys have enough fire power to win a game with Duncan scoring in the teens. The problem is your perimeter D. Something it used to work so well for you guys sudden seems disappeared against the Nuggets.

The Spurs MUST play in their own tempo and force the Nuggets to play a half court game. You guys simply cannot run with them. Meanwhile, the Nuggets are totally beat-able in a slow down half court Spurs style game. Good luck, and tell both Parker and Manu to wake the hell up!!!

Well, I didn't mean to blame it all on Duncan, but I think I did inadvertently.

More or less what I meant is, when Duncan has a bad game, the Spurs have a bad game. It seems that the rest of the team plays off of him so much. None of them brought their game for Game 1 IMO.

But, when Duncan is down they are all down.

If you check out the box scores for that game, you'll also notice that the Nuggets only played 8 players for the entire game. They can't be doing that for the whole series, they will tear up their key players.

Duncan needs to shrug off Nene and just get back to his game, the rest of the team will follow suit I think.

We'll see tomorrow!

And it looks like I got tickets for Game 5 (if there is one)!

Welcome to the Playoffs, buddy. Teams tend to stick with a short rotation in the playoffs. Last season, the Suns played just 6 guys regularly all the way thru the conference finals.

I am actually VERY surprised to see Nene did what he did to Duncan all by himself!!!

Good luck and enjoy!

Man, Nene owned Duncan. I will be the first to pony up and say it!

He totally had Duncan psyched out, took the ball away from him on probably 3 or 4 consecutive drives, all the turnovers resulted in points.

Duncan was getting piiiiiissssed!

Yeah, I know a lot of teams run a smaller rotation, I was just surprised to see Denver do it in Game 1 of Round 1, most teams don't do that until it's more urgent.

[Azyiu]

No dude, most teams start shortening their rotation even nearing the end of the regular season. Check box scores.
