Saw an interesting stat during last nights Spurs vs. Suns tangle. 94% of the time when a team takes a 2 games to none lead in a series that team holds on to win the series. Only 13 teams in NBA history have over come a 2 games to none deficeit.
Currently all 5 series that have seen two games played the favorite has won and all 5 series are at 2 games to none.
The Hornets, Spurs, Jazz, Magic, and Cavaliers have all been able to manage to hold down homecourt (except Utah), and take a 2 games to none series lead.
Who was the last NBA team to overcome a 2-0 deficeit and win a playoff series?
i lost count. but i'm willing to bet that we've all underestimated dusty and how much free time he has. i would say just the outlaw screennames alone out number all of mine.
then you start talking about DaBlogDestroyer, underage, nique dodson, etc. and i'm pretty sure that dusty is the kobe bryant of this blogosphere.

Suns fans just got a lesson in playoff coaching, or lack thereof.
Wanna know how stupid D'Antoni is? He kept going to Diaw in the post even after Boris was 0-for-4 posting up Tony Parker.
We all know Boris does not play with his back to the basket, so why put him in that position late in the game with your team down big?
If I were the coach of PHX, I'd take advantage of the mismatch by having someone set a back screen for Boris on the weakside and Nash deliver the ball to Diaw when he's right under the basket so all he would have to do is go straight up instead of trying to get all fancy with the ball and post up and waste precious seconds on the shot clock.
Just when we thought that this was going to be the most competitive first round in history, we have no series that is tied 1-1.
It's over for PHX, HOU, DAL, WAS, and possibly TOR because we all can see it in the player's body language and through the comments they make on the postgame.
Funny story. Before my time on FoxSports, X23 was a member and actually got me to join because he got so frustrated arguing with this "#### named DustyLaker"
He kept telling me I need to check out this Dime Magazine thing because there were just RIDICULOUS people on here.
So I joined almost as a mercenary to talk smack to DustyLaker. Then I started spending regular amounts of time talking trash with Gr8ONE (who definitely still lives in his mom's basement) and Hoffman during last year's playoffs.
"Is Hoffman the dumbest blogger in the history of FoxSports for believing Stevenson to be ANYTHING more than an BLEEP-Clown wannabe that occasionally plays good defense?"
I'm the dumbest blogger in the history of Foxsports huh? Lol.
Where did I say DeShawn Stevenson was a great player or that he would stop LeBron?
I thought he and the Wizards would defend James well, certainly better than Prince and the Pistons did last season.
