I'm sorry BGT I know its yourpart of the world but I just can't deny my hatred for New Orleans

This series is turning into an absolute disaster! Hornets take it 93-88 to tie the series up at 2-2 going back to LA and we're now a single defeat from the ultimate disaster Just didn't execute on the biggest plays the Lakers, and everytime they got close to New Orleans they built a little lead again. Chris Paul had a ridiculous game again like in game 1. Kobe also turned his ankle with a minute and a half to go and did carry on for most of the last 90 seconds but how that comes up is huge for Tuesday night and game 5!

Hornets win. If Dallas is 2-2, then I feel better with LA being 2-2 also and even better with the Spurs down 1-2.

Hornets aren't up 3-2, though.

The Lakers will be alright, it's a 7 game series remember.

Yes I know but once you get to a game 7 decicer absolutely anything can happen and you're on the verge of being done.

Too true but so much on the next game now.

[Chris1987]

That was much more like it just now as the Lakers really stepped it up to take a 3-2 lead in the series Lakers took a 106-90 win over the Hornets and especially the 2nd half really upped the game and starting with the aggressiveness of Pau and Bynum in the paint, through to Kobe's toughness playing through the ankle injury, to all 5 starters playing a big part(all 5 in double figures) to some nice work off the bench it was a well rounded effort and much more like the Lakers need and should play. Onto game 6 then on Thursday in New Orleans, hoping for a repeat of the 1st round and Western Finals last year where the series was won in game 6 away in Oklahoma and Pheonix respectively

[BGT]

Lakers and Mavs are both 1 win away from meeting in the semis.

You'd have seen your 3rd and 1st teams eliminated then won't you

[BGT]

Let's go Mavs! Ge this done tonight!

[Chris1987]

Lakers have clinched the series 98-80 in New Orleans tonight, that was a really big performance from the Lakers tonight, absolutely clutch in a big time game to avoid the lottery of going to a game 7 which can always result in anything happen. Even I was concerned after game 4 and the way the Lakers lost that game, so to come back with those 2 big wins is what the Lakers needed to get them going. Excellent games from Kobe and Bynum again, and Pau and Lamar got double figures too. Lakers got to take this momentum of the last 2 games into the next round now

And I'm made up too after Atlanta beat Orlando tonight to clinch the series 4-2 and upset them as a good friend of mine likes the Hawks so she's going to be made up

[BGT]

(2) Lakers vs (3) Mavs Western Conference Semifinals!

[Chris1987]

I'm made up the Mas made it through the 1st round and to win out in Portland is 1 of the most difficult places to go and play, especially in the playoffs so great job to them. I'm really looking forward now to see my Lakers go up against the Mavs. I'll say Lakers in 5 or 6

[Dallas]

I think the NBA need to re-seed after each round.  It's not fair that the #2 and #3 seeded teams play each other in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

But anyway - GO MAVS!!!!  This is for Chris.... It's on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

The #1 seed always faces the #4 seed/bracket in any sport. Mavs have less than 1% chance against the Lakers no matter the seeding

I'm ready for it Dallas, and more importantly so are the Lakers, lets get this on

[Chris1987]

The Spurs eliminated in round 1 after a fantastic 1st round performance from the Memphis Grizzlies as after getting their first ever playoff game win they keep it going and register 4 to knock the Spurs out 4-2 and now face Oklahoma City.

I was worried about San Antonio more than any other team in the west. Those worries are gone.
Lakers have a good chance to make the finals.

[Chris1987]

What a great job fromthe Grizzlies to come back just 36 hours after their last series and win in Oklahoma 114-101! They played such good basketball and got up towards the end of the 1st and just maintained that. They husstled much better than the Thunder and made a lot of big shots to take a 1-0 lead.

Now its time for the fantastic looking series between the Heat and Celtics in Miami!
