Snoop,

I love that Godzilla reference.  I'm going to have to use that with my Laker 
lovin'  office associates.

I was surprised the C's didn't try to ride Paul in the 4th quarter after his 
magnificent 3rd quarter display. He could have easily put up 50 - 55 had they 
continued to milk his hot hand and just let him attack, attack, attack and 
get to the FT line. 

T. Buckets and Walter making shots so far is proving to be a huge factor this 
year  vs. last season's playoffs when both of them were struggling. Of 
course, both are getting consistent minutes this year as opposed to last year 
and I'm sure both are more in a rhythm now, too. As long as Antoine keeps 
acting as a decoy to draw the double team only to kick it back out and the 
team keeps reversing the ball to an open Delk or McCarty and they continue to 
make the other team pay, it will make Pierce completely unstoppable.  God 
forbid if Bremer starts knocking down his looks with any consistency. It'll 
be "Katy bar the door" at that point and will make the C's will be a very 
tough out because they will be scoring enough points to offset their lack on 
interior D.  Batman needs to stay healthy, too.
