Well it sounded like a great game. One thing I can take out of it is the defense continues to get better on the road and overall.
Utah has definitely turned things around on the road. Dallas is one of the tougher teams to beat at their place.
If the Hornets hold on, the high seeds in the west will have each won 3 games while the low seeds have only won 3 combined. Every series could go in 5 or less.
Not what I was expecting at all but the matchups had a lot to do with it IMO. I still think the Mavs and Nuggets would have left early no matter who they played. Suns got a horrible pairing because everyone knew the Spurs were going to turn it on but we got a glimps of what SA showed during the regular season this year and that is a good sign for the Hornets. Expose their weaknesses and hope the old age catches up to them. I think the series goes to 7 when they meet up. Hornets, Jazz, Lakers, and Spurs are at the top and I couldn't predict with confidence who would win in a series no matter who was matched up with who and they all brought their best game. Rockets are the next best team in the West and would beat the Suns IMO. Dallas followed by the Nuggets are the bottom of the playoff teams in the conference.
