I'll not try to defend MWP's actions, but Harden was trying to be a "hard @ss" by getting up in MWP's space, and paid for it.  There are consequences for every action.  MWP will now have to pay for his.  If purposely stepping on a guy's head is only 2 games, no way this can be more than 5. 

I think his past will be taken into consideration - at least 5 but maybe much more significant

hopefully for you guys he gets suspended for the entire playoffs

7 games - about right

triple double for drew with 10 blocks

good first game

ok second game with game 3 in Denver tonight

Nothing would be better than the Lakers blowing this series.

Yeah, and maybe Kobe can tear-up his knee in the process too, right?
Lakers' haters amuse me.
Guess that's what happens when you play in half the NBA Finals ever.

close out games are easy (if you dont try too hard)

Well it's not the least likely to be blown of the current 3-2 leads that were formerly 3-1.

Grizz > Sixers > Nugs > Hawks

shouldn't that be Bulls and not Sixers. 

And I actually think the Hawks with Horford are more likely to come back than the Nuggets, though I think both end tonight anyway.

Err ya that should be Bulls not Sixers.

You would think that the Hawks have a better chance (I know I did) but Vegas says "nah brah"- Nuggets are +476 and Hawks are +523

I agree, the C's are far more likely than LA to blow these particular series......I thought going in that Denver was the best possible matchup for the Lakers


of course, it ends ugly for them in round 2.....and I don't even hate the Lakers or wish anythig to happen to Kobe's knee

I don't know why people are sleeping on the Nugs, this series has been played (close to) dead evenly thus far.

Both the Lakers (game 1) and Nuggets (game 3) have a 15 pt win
Both the Lakers (game 2) and Nuggets (game 5) won a game where they had a decent lead and had to withstand a late rally that made it close.

Other than that game 4 went down to the wire and the Lakers hit a couple of huge 3's and pulled it out- that's the difference in the series.

It's natural that the Lakers are up 3-2 because they are the better team and have HCA, but it's ridiculous to presume that the Nugs are some sort of cakewalk.  They aren't.

I don't feel ridiculous in the slightest.....
