A couple have appeared tonight Rob.

Mark, whenever I check the schedule, nothing is ever shown. Do me a favour, you seem to have luck on your side when you check the schedule, tell me when the games are on as it never says on Virgin Media. The second round starts tonight and they aren't showing a game, WTF are they playing at. MLB is on instead!

How about those Grizzlies, knocking off the spurs first round and starting right against the thunder.

Im tuned into the White Hot Heat vs Beantown Bumders right not, Online though.

Certainly upsetting a few sides is Memphis.

Thought the first Big 3 vs Big 3 match was interesting, Celtics seemed to lose their cool which doesn't bode well after game 1.

Agree about the Celtics, but as ever, like a woman scorn they will return and give Miami a very hard time next game. Should make for a very exciting series tonight.

Do you have a favoured team Inside Man?

Blake is a phenom, i don't think anyone predicted him taking off (literally) as much as he did this year. Brilliant.

I don't generally follow teams in the NBA, I generally just follow players. My first 'favourite' was Kobe, purely because he was on the front cover of NBA Live 2003, after that it was probably Tim Duncan. Favourite player at the moment is probably Blake, Manu or Roy, with a bit of a soft spot for D-Will, Paul and Rose.

Always watched the Cavs cos of LeBron as well. If he'd have gone to Miami without being hated, he'd be MVP again this year.

You really think?

This year's MVP is a little odd; how exactly is it awarded? Is it awarded to the best player in the league? The player who's been the most important to his team?

LeBron hasn't been as valuable to Miami as he was to Cleveland in previous seasons, as they have Wade and Bosh who have both had good seasons. Can you really say LeBron has been so important to Miami that he deserves the MVP award? I'm not so certain. Statistically, of course LeBron should win, but stats aren't everything.
