Not surprisingly, the Charlotte Bobcats find themselves in a 2-0 hole against the Miami Heat (although they’re battling), the Dallas Mavericks squashed the San Antonio Spurs to even their series and the Portland Trail Blazers took both games on the Houston Rockets home court

We’ve got highlights, game capsules, the top and bottom five players, the Goose Egg, Clean and Sober and Ironman Awards, we’ll throw in some random tidbits, we’ve got the NBA schedule and we’ll even look at daily lines for the gamblers out there.
