Ladies and Gentlemen,
There is officially parity in the NBA. The #8 Seed Golden State Warriors not only beat the #1 Seed Dallas Mavericks, but they totally whooped them, slugged them in the chest, humiliated them, brought it to them, or any other analogy you want to use. I loved every second of this series watching a 67 win team go down to a team who got in the playoffs on the last day of the season... Now my 1994 Seattle Sonics (who lost to #8 seed Denver in the 1st Round) are off the hook and are not the biggest choke artists in NBA History anymore. Thank you Dallas.

I totally agree Casey, that was an awesome game. I thought the Warriors were done when Baron Davis injured his hamstring, but they hung tough and put a whoopin on the Mavs. For the first time in 50 years, both finalists from last year were eliminated in the first round. Golden state is a scary team, they are playing about as well as any team can play, and they can flat out shoot the rock..

You are right Ken in that the Warriors are flat out en fuego!!! Getting Steven Jackson and Al Harrington from the Pacers gave them some firepower and some toughness. They are also athletic guys who can play some tough defense as well. I think their magic carpet ride will come to an end if they play Houston in the 2nd Round, but that being said if they keep shooting the ball like they have and Baron Davis keeps playing like Magic Johnson, they could easily beat the Rockets or Jazz.

What do you guys (and gals) think of the Suns and Spurs series?
Do you think Horry and Stoudimier should be suspended?
This series kink of reminds me of the 80's playoffs with the Pistons. I think Horry should be suspended but not A.S. If I got hooked like that I would expect my teammates to at least come to my protection.
If you are keeping score...the series is tied, but
Spurs-One bruised eyeball
Suns-1 six stitch slash over the nose
1 knee to the groin
1 clotheline into a table
1 one kick on the achilles
I think the Spurs are kicking the Suns butts!

I think Horry should be suspended, and i also believe that Bruce Bowen should be suspended for his knee to Nash's groin. Kobe got suspended for flayling his arms after a shot, and this knee to the groin was more flagrant than Kobe's swinging arms. The NBA really needs to look at this whole thing and change it accordingly. Stoudamire should not be suspended. If he came of the bench and got in the middle of it, then yes, but he didnt get that far.

Also, this Suns/Spurs series is going to be a phenominal finish.

I don't know if anyone saw what LeBron James did last night, but it was one of the great all-time NBA Playoff performances. He had 48 points and scored the last 25 points of the game for the Cavs. He single handedly won that game in double overtime. It was definitely a Jordan-esque performance, hitting tough shot after tough shot despite being double teamed. Nobody else on his team could do anything down the stretch, so he took it upon himself and willed his team to victory.
