2010-11 NBA Playoffs Recap, Day 13: Eliminations

Three teams were eliminated last night, but there are still more questions then there are answers. Is Atlanta a fluke? Can Dirk out-shoot the Lakers? How’s Kobe’s ankle?

As Sebastian Pruiti pointed out to me on twitter, last night was the first time in 9 straight days that we didn’t experience wire-to-wire excitement, and that’s something we should all be willing to live [...]

I’m not totally sure if this is the smartest move because of his hefty salary ($14.2 million) with Amar’e Stoudemire and Carmelo Anthony tied up. And I LOVE Chauncey Billups as a player. But he [...]
