Every weekday, Shoals recounts playoff action in terms of the seven categories that govern the universe.
Big: Carl Effin' Landry. He lost a front tooth, and still came back to grab 11 boards and win the game with a blocked shot/save combo. T-Mac didn't come up short, and Rafer's return was a boost, but Landry's night was the stuff of lore. Like Willis Reed if Reed had done a damn thing ...

But Carl Landry Can't Block Rafer's Smooch!
FanHouse —
Filed under: Rockets, NBA Playoffs, NBA Videos, NBA Last Night, Jazz, HoustonCarl Landry's block on Deron Williams to seal Houston's win in SLC was (as Shoals notes at The Sporting Blog) the stuff of legends. (It might even be comparable to Tayshaun Prince's absurd block-from-behind on Reggie Miller earlier this millenia, insofar as a momentum-shifting play which catapaults an unheralded but excellent kid into some decent attention.)

Third Quarter Collapse —
... fame) writes that this series "might go the distance." Given how evenly played this series has been -- through three games, the Magic have scored 312 points, the Raptors have scored 311 -- I'm inclined to agree.

Last night's loss was a mere bump in the road ...

waitingfornextyear.com 4/25/2008 — The fact that the Cavaliers lost this game is not surprising. They had won 8 straight playoffs games against Washington. The Wizards were motivated and they were getting some much needed home crowd nourishment. What is surprising, however, is the way in which the Cavaliers lost this game. Even more surprising, was the final margin, 108-72...
De-fense!
waitingfornextyear.com 4/25/2008 — I’ll let someone else discuss how silly it is to boo someone that you’d be more than happy to have on your team. Yes, the game was a ridiculous blow-out, and yes, the Wizard’s outplayed the Cavs. But there’s a solid chance that Wiz fans could be creeping up on Philly in terms of absurdity. There

waitingfornextyear.com 4/25/2008 — Les Levine on Washington’s game plan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uChfMFwv1NE This video was obviously recorded before last night’s game. It’s funny how nobody that followed this Cavalier team expected them to win last night. The question I have from this segment- does Mike Brown really fight too hard for his players to get calls? Personally I wish he’d get a...
