One heckuva shot by Rose and a bad call from Kobe to go to the hole instead of pulling up. But I like what I saw with the LAkers. They prevented Chicago's bigs from getting 2nd chance points and their new recruits showed that they belong. And they played minus Bynum, so, not bad at all.
Miami is scary right now. They look like they've finally figured out each others roles. With the way they abused the defending champs, I wouldn't be surprised if they reach the Finals again.
Dallas' weakness in the past comes back. The loss of Chandler really showed as Lebron and company just plowed over them in the paint. Who do they expect to get next year?
New York really needs a good point guard. I hope Baron recovers and provides the type of leadership they need on the floor. If only Chauncey was still there. Oh well, the price you have to pay to get Chandler.
Boston looked so-so. Rondo though, wow. I can't believe the Cs would trade him for Paul. He's probably the most well-rounded PG in the league, excellent on both ends with his offense looking much-improved. Brandon Bass was a good replacement for Big Baby, a wide body with a descent offensive game.
