LOGO WATCH #46...PACERS close O-MAGIC in Extras....LOB City makes the BLAKE Face and out duels the GRIND House...and THUNDER show MAVS an ALLEY and an EXIT....and a SEAL here and a SEAL there.

It was the HICK from French Lick...Larry Bird's signing of Hornets Free Agent PF David West that has paid huge dividends for Circle City. West leads the Pacers to a 3-1 series lead and hits the O-Magic with 26 and 12 off the glass. The Magic played until the Clock struck Zero but it was not enough. J-Rich and Big Baby went for 25 and 24 respectively but it wasn't enough.

The Circle City Strangler..D-Granger hit the magic for 21 and 7 but it was Spurs Castoff Combo George Hill who scored the last 6 in the extra frame that bailed out the Pacers.

Staples Blue and Red on Figueroa Street Downtown L.A. saw the new CLIP Joint Grind the GRIND House to the tune of a 1 point win 87-86. CP3 led the Clips with 24 and 11 helpers and Rudy of Team Next Day Air led the Grind House with 24 and 7 boards. Z-Bo chipped in with 17 and 6 and Lob City's the BLAKEshow went for 17 and 5 of those of the High Percentage Variety.....Dunk You very much.

The Grizz in order to get a much needed W they need to stop Lob City from getting Lobs. Now Lob City leads the series 2-1 and they will face off Monday Night at Staples Blue and Red and this is still going the full 7 games so forget the popcorn and get the Maalox.

Young Legs - Old Legs = a possible Sweep and a 1st round exit. The Mavs for the 1st Time in their History in 27 Playoff Series get swept in a series and the Thunder wasted no time after those 2 close ones in OKC.

Too much @kdTREY5, Uncle Russ, and Mama..there goes that Man Harden for the Mavs to handle. Dirk played well enough if he had some help to get at least one of those 2 games in OKC but that didn't happen and the Mavs knew the writing was on the wall.

Now looking forward to the next series for the Thunder they get to rest as the Lakers and Nuggets will go at least six. The Mavs on the other hand will Break up the band and start from scratch with DIRKiliscious, Jet, and J-Kidd possibly in the fold.  How quickly good fortunes can turn to bad ones for the Mavs.
