I'll talk about the Suns-Spurs game later, but the day started with the Cavs-Nets game. It featured some big names like The King, The Kidd, and Visanity, but the quality of game-1 was pretty bad. Both teams had trouble shooting the basketball and barely hit 40% from the floor. At least LeBron had the excuse of a cold, but not sure what happened to Kidd and Carter as they shot a combine 9/34 from the field. That'll not work in this series. Kidd ended with 7-10-9 and Carter with 21-13-6. For the Cavs, King had 21-11-7 and Gooden had a 14-14 game and hit some big shots. The play of the game was when Sasha Pavlovic tracked down Kidd to block his fast-break layup after Kidd stole the ball and ran down for what he thought was a wide open layup. Sasha also scored 15 to help the Cavs. King had a block of his own at the very end to finish off the Nets. For the Nets, RJ shot well to score 16 points, but nothing much from the other guys.
New Jersey @ Cleveland - 77-81
Spurs @ Suns - 111-106
Playoff schedule for 05/07/2007
Golden State @ Utah - Should be a good one. Golden State has to steal one of these 2 if they want to win this series and game 1 might be their best chance.
Chicago @ Detroit - The Bulls will try to keep this one close.
