Just like in their previous series against the New Orleans Hornets, the Lakers lost the first game on their hand floor, this time coming at the hands of the Dallas Mavericks. Against New Orleans, Los Angeles was able to retake control of the series by winning Game 2 and then snatched back home court in Game 3. Only one problem, the Mavs aren’t the Hornets. (more…)

The Suns are already looking toward next season, but more than half of the NBA will be playing games this weekend to fight to play well into June for a chance at a NBA championship. I am going to look at each first round series and give my thoughts and predictions for each. Don’t hold me to these predictions when these series are over. I am no Nostradamus after all.
Fat Lady Singing on Phoenix Suns Season
Three games back 11 to go. That is where the Suns stand the eighth and final playoff seed out west.
Phoenix had all sorts of chances to improve their playoff chances last night in their 106-100 loss to the Hornets.

Large Deficit too Much for Phoenix Suns to Overcome
After all of their great play over the past month and a half, the Suns are suddenly right back where they started at. The .500 mark.
Phoenix got down big once again, trailing by as much as 19 at one point, and their comeback came too little, too late in their 100-95 loss to the Hornets in New Orleans. It was the fourth consecutive loss for the Suns and the third win for the Hornets in their last four games. (more…)
