3 of the 4 conference semifinals series tied 2-2. These are 3 game series now. Who will advance?

East

Boston/Cleveland

West

San Antonio/New Orleans
LA/Utah

I've got Detroit and Cleveland in the East Final and New Orleans and LA in the West.

I'll agree with you on Detroit and Cleveland (with Cleveland coming out the winner), but ever the dreamer, I'm going with the SPURS and Jazz.

New Orleans just took one step closer to knocking off the defending champs.

These guys are unbelievable in the 3rd quarter. Byron Scott must be doing something right with his half-time speeches.

And apparently, the SPURS are not allowed to carry in their oxygen tanks for use at halftime when they are playing in New Orleans! I love my SPURS - and I'm going to miss them.... They are just flat-out being outplayed!

Oh well.... CNO is happy! He deserves some happiness....

I think a lot of people across the country, especially those in the LONE STAR STATE, are getting a chance to see just how good New Orleans really is!

Chris Paul and David West are legit and Peja fits in very nicely as the #3 option. Tyson Chandler has also come into his own very nicely. He's not expected to score many points, but does a great job on the boards as well as the defensive end of the court (he's given Duncan fits this series).

DARN!!! Missed it with the Jazz and the Cavs. Okay - either this is a streak of really bad luck or I'm due one win:


GO, SPURS, GO!!!!!
