Is that this matchup had to happen in the first round. This is the best matchup of the playoffs currently and possibly the entire playoffs, and it is wasted on the first round. The Kings just found themselves in the wrong place at wrong time because against any other team in the LEAGUE besides Det. (yes, Mavs included) the Kings would be either up 3-2 or would have already won the series 4-1. These guys have shown up and played championship caliber basketball, and have forced us to tune it up to Spurs Championship Basketball in the first round. This would have been a great WCF.
I'm interested to see how we respond in game 6 now that the Spurs know they have to play Championship basketball to win, and if we do win that game how we respond against Dallas.
