Weekend Wrapup (from an unlikely source)

Spurs 117, Suns 115, 2OT
I was driving around for my job and was only able to catch moments on the radio, but it was amazing listening to Dr. Jack Ramsey describe the action. Easily the greatest game of the weekend, but in the long run, an energy-draining win for the home team in a series that won't start until the home team loses.

Lakers 128, Denver 114
So, how's that Gasol trade working out for Memphis cuz it seems to be doing just fine for the folks in LA. I still believe AI and Melo will take a game or two in this series, but it's clear that they have no one who can guard a 6-10 athlete, slipping around like a Spaniard (in your best Monty Burns).

New Orleans 104, Dallas 92
As my girl Jill Scott would say, 'Haters, hate on'. Inexperience is a factor when the teams are close, but I think the Hornets and their veteran coach Byran Scott are beyond that. I think CP3, Teaneck, New Jersey's own David West and Peja are enough to send the Mavs home early and Saturday night just added a quarter of proof.

Utah 93, Houston 82
The Jazz are exciting (with names you've never heard of), they have a Hall of Fame coach (who has been overshadowed for the past decade) and they're above all else, a true team with a dynamic point guard not named Paul, Kidd or Nash. They're going to stay under the radar, it's just a question of how long before someone has to take notice.

Cleveland 93, Wizards 86
'You mess with the bull, you get the horns!" Bron and the boys will be pushed in DC, but that's about it.

Orlando 114, Raptors 100
Dwight Howard had 25 points, 22 rebounds and five blocks. That boy is a beast and everyone likes to remember Peja and Webber from those Sactown teams that fought with the Lakers, but Turkoglu hit a ton of big shots for the Kings and he will do the same for the Magic.

Celtics 104, Hawks 81
There's no need to talk about this game, so instead watch (if you missed it) the classic interview with the Big 3. Stu Scott (that ass-clown) wanted everyone to look at KG's eyes, but I think the question about the last shot is much more important.



And last but not least...
76ers 90, Pistons 86
It would be easy to say that Detroit needed this loss to wake up and they'll run away the rest of the series. That's what the majority of the country outside the City of Brotherly Love will be thinking. But what about the fact that the Sixers were one of the hottest teams in the league to end the season and they split the season series with the mighty Pistons. Add to that the fact that a Game One win for a young team only adds to their confidence and you might have a series on your hands...
