Turnovers were 13-9 when I looked. An advantage for Utah, but not that big.

Hawks haven't won a best-of-7 series since 1970.

That's a long time.

Not a great picture, she looked better in profile on screen a few minutes ago.

That Anthony Johnson dunk was very surprising at the end of the first quarter, he's the last guy I expect an explosive move from.

Dwight Howard's doing all right so far considering he doesn't have a good post game.

Magic are lucky Dwight has been hitting his free throws in this game or they'd be in trouble.

Another great game.

Iggy with a money jumper that could win it for the Sixers.

No lead is safe with Donyell Marshall on the other team. Big 4th quarter along with Lou Williams.

You know, I talked about her last year and got flamed on this board. She's the Mav's sideline reporter in the regular season. Definitely a fine, fine woman in person. That photo doesn't do things justice.

Josh Smith can jump high.

Dwayne Wade's third quarter 'performance' made me sick.

I HATE players who just give up and pass the ball around, he was playing like he just didn't care. I know they were getting blown out, but it is the NBA playoffs, show some freaking pride.

Wade is one of my favorite players in the NBA, but I just lost a lot of respect for him.

I used to be of the opinion that Josh Smith was going to be a top 10 player in the league, but his all around game never developed into that. He is just a ridiculous talent though, I am curious who can leap higher between him and LeBron.

This Billups vs. Paul match-up is going to be special.

I completely disagree. Wade was 6-15 with 6 turnovers at halftime. He wasn't "giving up" he was coming back down to Earth. The whole first half was him jacking up too many shots and trying to win a series in one half.

He had 3 teammates 1-2, 2-2, and 2-4 in the first half. Yeah, small sample size to judge FG%, but at least give the guys looks. I realize not everyone can create their own shot, but you have to at least have other guys on the team shoot.

It's funny because the 3rd quarter is the only quarter they outscored Atlanta.

Newz · Post #276 » by **Newz** » Mon Apr 20, 2009 2:58 am

That team isn't going to win anything with him only attempting 2 shots in a quarter... He would dribble the ball down court, look disinterested and pass the ball to someone else on the wing... Then stand around the perimeter and not be involved in the offense. He wasn't attacking at all and appeared to lose all interest in the game.

People can think what they want, I think he got frustrated with his team and quit on them for a quarter... Which I do not respect out of any player. I watched Miami more than any team besides the Bucks this season and Wade has never, ever looked like he did in the third quarter of the game today. I was watching the game with three other people and they all said the exact same thing.

Again, Miami is NOT going to win anything with him playing so passive... And them outscoring Atlanta in the third had a lot more to do with Atlanta letting up than it did with Miami stepping up their game.

Billups isn't looking very washed up so far tonight.

Billups with a great first quarter. Good thing the Pistons traded him.

He has been brilliant tonight... I am still in disbelief anyone tries to justify that awful Iverson swap for him, especially when this years free agent class is so abysmal.

Man maybe Billups isn't done after all.
