Just as I was babbling writing about the Spurs and their chances of resurrecting themselves and making another run, Lebron James was getting dressed for the Celtics game (ie putting his cape on, underneath his uniform) and getting ready to bully the Celtics into submission. So far (10 min left in the 2nd quarter) so good: 16 points on 6-7 shooting, 3 reb, 5 ast. Seems like Lebron is really mad that Garnett, not him, won the mid season awards.

Pierce has been perfect so far from the field (4-4) but if things are close to the end of the game, look for him again to try and be the hero. Again. And mess things up for the Celtics. Again. But more on that in a later post. In any case, too bad Garnett is out, or it could have been a classic duel, one that might have influenced the actual MVP vote. Although last season Nash owned Dirk in the Suns-Mavs games, including abusing him whenever Dirk was left to defend on him after a switch on the pick and roll, yet Dirk received the MVP (and proved that he deserved it by choking against the Warriors in the 1st round).
