Both Suns and Spurs won and advanced as expected. Nothing spectacular in either game as the Spurs got a flashback night from Michael Finley. Finn-Dawg had 26 on 8/9 shooting from beyond the arc. Poor Brent Barry. Finally he got some consistent playing time this season and then got injured only to see Finn-dawg sitting firmly at the starter spot. Timmy had 23-12 to guide this team as always. Denver actually led at the half, but the Spurs bottled them up in the third and the fourth. 21 each for Melo and AI but just 8/20 and 6/22 shooting respectively. I guess defense does win championships. Denver will come back next year with an interesting team plus an expensive K-Mart. A high-salary team that has to win now or be broken up soon.
Suns kept pace with the Spurs and won against the Lakers to set up a Sunday matinee against the Spurs. Should be a great series, but the Suns probably would rather have a boring one in the second round. Too early to meet a great team like the Spurs.
Denver @ San Antonio - 78-93
LA Lakers @ Phoenix - 110-119
Playoff schedule for 05/03/2007
Dallas @ Golden State - This should be a fun, fun game. The crowd will be nuts once again.
Houston @ Utah - Utah should win this one at home.
