Ah yes..... how many of us, just yesterday, were lauding the unheralded underdogs. That's right... you in the corner, boasting to your friends that the Bulls, Kings and Lakers were ready to pull off miraculous upsets over their heavily favored opponents and advance to the next round of the playoffs. No less than 24 hours later, a few of us are eating our words.
A once lackluster and seemingly uninspired Miami Heat team has turned things around and played Game Five like the Riley-coached veterans we expected. Manu Ginobli was finally able to pull a few stutter steps over on Artest and get to the rim. And the Suns appear to be heating up at just the right time. The last thing the Lakers, Bulls and Kings wanted was to go back home for a Game Six. Well, guess what. Shame on any of us who ever underestimated the favorites. Keep in mind, they feature Shaq, Duncan and Nash on their rosters.
