Was I right, or was I right?

Okay, it looks like I wasn't right about the Cavs. And I meant Nuggets, not Mavericks. But this HAS been a great round of playoffs to watch.

Who knows which Lakers will show up tomorrow, but last night's win was a good one. Not a blowout, but they owned that 4th quarter. Absolutely dominated.

I don't really know whether to root for Orlando or Cleveland. Either looks like a tough match up for the Lakers. It would be fun to watch LeBron and Kobe, but it's hard not to root for the Magic when they're playing so well.

Incidentally, I'm starting to think Kobe's nagging finger injury is bothering him more than he'll let on. He still tapes it, and this whole series his ball handling's been suspect (by Kobe standards). He seems to be making sloppy inside passes and losing control of his dribble in the lane a lot, two things I've never seen him struggle with.

Is it just me or
