All the weekend's games in three sentences or less:

Cleveland 93, Washington 86

LeBron needs to touch the ball more often (even with 32 points he still wasn't handling it enough).  Gilbert Arenas needs to pass the ball more when Cleveland goes small.  Neither team looked very impressive.

San Antonio 117, Phoenix 115 (2 OT)

Maybe the best first round game ever.  Tim Duncan was phenomenal (40/15/5); the Spurs need to get him more help from their bench (eight minutes each from Ime Udoka and Brent Barry is not going to cut it).  If Shaq keeps passing Duncan off to Amare Stoudamire on defense, it's going to be a rough ride for the Suns.

New Orleans 104, Dallas 92

I underestimated how far Jason Kidd's ball defense has fallen.  Chris Paul made him look silly (35 points, 10 assists, 1 turnover).  Dallas needs to stop settling for jumpers, as they did in the 2nd half, or they'll be lucky to win more than one game.

Utah 93, Houston 82

Houston doesn't have an answer for Carlos Boozer (20/16).  Tracy McGrady keeps getting nicked up, and the Rockets can't bank on Shane Battier going 7-7 from the field every game.  Nice to see Andrei Kirilenko make an appearance (21/4/3).

Orlando 114, Toronto 100

T.J. Ford and Jose Calderon combined for 14 assists and zero turnovers; they also shot 4-20.  The Raptors have no one to deal with Dwight Howard (25/22).  When Keyon Dooling is putting up a +10 in the +/- category, the Magic are living right.

Los Angeles 128, Denver 114

Hey Memphis, thanks for giving the Lakers Pau Gasol for nothing and handing them a ticket to the conference finals.  Really, much appreciated, he's kinda good (36/16/8).  Kenyon Martin can't guard Kobe, and yet somehow this surprised George Karl.

Philadelphia 90, Detroit 86

The Pistons have been in 'flip the switch' mode for far too long, and it caught up with them last night.  Missed free throws, poor shot selection, and a fired up bunch of unknown Sixers leads to them giving up home court advantage.

Boston 104, Atlanta 81

No team in the playoffs needs to manage their minutes more than the Celtics.  Sunday night: Allen 35 minutes, Garnett 34, Pierce 33, Rondo 28.  Mike Bibby's five points really made it worth that deadline trade for the Hakws.
