Was on the Mavs myself.

They just havent been in it all series have they. Couldnt beat the Warriors with Davis half injured during the game.

WTF happened to Dirk too? Shocking game from him.

I realy don't know Kiko.I don't think he take any shots in first half.I was surprised to see him that away from basket.He was guarded by smaller players and I've expected that he play more clores to basket.
If anyone knows Dallas it'a Don Nelson,so why the hell didn't Dallas played that with 2 big man like San Antonio.That strategy always works.


But now we can expect slightly smaller hcap on semifinal games.

You didn't play so no worries sd

Now what is on tonight's menu?

[Napoleon Solo]

I'm on the Nets -7 Grga. They've beaten the Raptors four times at home this season, all by at least 10 points and are playing some decent basketball at the moment. The Raptors have been poor and they've got point guards Ford and Calderon both doubtful for this game. Personally I can't see past a Nets win.

Nets -7 @ 1.91 - 5 points

Here is some info update

Ford optimistic about playing in Game 6; Calderon still hurting

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- Toronto Raptors point guard T.J. Ford said he's likely to play Friday night against the New Jersey Nets in Game 6, but backcourt mate Jose Calderon wasn't as optimistic about his situation.

Ford said a sprained thumb on his non-shooting left hand was the only injury from his collision with New Jersey's Vince Carter in Game 5 of their first-round series on Tuesday night. Ford had to leave the game in the second quarter after experiencing pain and numbness in his neck, shoulders and arms

It's a lot better day to day," he said at Friday's shootaround at Continental Airlines Arena. "I couldn't move it a couple of days ago and now I have a lot of movement and flexibility in it. I think it's a good possibility I can play."

Calderon was still bothered by the right ankle he sprained in the final minute of Tuesday night's game. He attended Friday's shootaround, and still has pain when he attempts to move laterally.

"When I go straight, it's not that bad," he said. "It's difficult when I try to go from one side to the other or turn. I'll go out and test myself tonight in warmups and see."

Calderon and Ford will be game-time decisions. If either is unable to play, Raptors coach Sam Mitchell plans to use Darrick Martin or Juan Dixon.

The Raptors trail the Nets 3-2 in the series and have lost the two games at Continental Airlines Arena

I think that both of them will play tonight rockin.This is playoff and unless you are hurt bad you'll play.But will that mean anything?Don't know.Examples:Dwayne Wade in Miami losing 4-0,Sidney Crosby in Pittsburgh 4-1 loss to Ottawa,...

[Grga]

My suggestion is to wait till the start of the game.Hcap will go down if they play and you'll get at least Nets-5

[Grga]

Nets-Raptors 98-97

Ford scores 24,but that is not enough.

Your pick was OK rockin, but in crunch time you can usually see weaker find strange way to play better and to fuck up your bet.

Utah seems like good bet for tonight.Off to to some research.

[Grga]

New Jersey +4.5
Cleveland -4.5


San Antonio +5
Phoenix -5

[Grga]

Clevelad-New Jersey is no bet game.

But I expect big scoring game in Phoenix-San Antonio matchup.My only bet for tonight is over 205.

Good play Grga...I'm almost inclined to take SA, but since my few NBA plays have sucked, I'm just going to watch it
