So disappointed in Portland... They just can't make a shot to save their lives when it matters.
Kudos to Dallas though--they made some really tough shots down the stretch.
Bynum did well against an undersized Hornets, but it'll be interesting to see how he goes playing Chandler.
Can't believe how bad Orlando is. I really believe they'd be a sub .500 team without Dwight and maybe miss the playoffs this year. Even LeBron had some help at the Cavs. Dwight has... Nelson and Turkeyglue? Says it all really.
One thing I will add though: I agree with a poster in here about the refs letting the Hawks basically assault Dwight night in and out. Pachulia in particular didn't even try and hide it tonight and was just out there to mug Howard all game. Fair enough too as the Magic are so bad when you limit Dwight's influence, but he doesn't get a lot of love from the refs.
So... Chicago vs Atlanta--I think this one could go either way. Chicago would normally be a lay down misere, but they're not playing great ATM and Atlanta are surprising a few people with their tough play. I'll go for the Bulls but it will be close.
Boston v Miami--damn this will be epic. Easily the pick of the second round for me. I really don't know which way to go but I just hope there will be blood.
Lakers v Mavs--Dallas is too inconsistent. They'll probably take a couple, but Lakers are pretty much a better team at each position except for PF. Both teams have pretty deep benches though so could be good. And please stop giving playing time to Stojakovic. I don't how that guy gets and NBA contract each time.
OKC to enjoy their extra day off and watch the Grizz and Spurs kill eachother.

Dwight Howard and Dirk lead the league in postseason FT attempts. Dwight by a ways, so the refs were calling some fouls that were against him.
