First off, congrats to New Orleans who were quite clearly the better team.  An important fact to remember before saying the Mavs 'choked' again...

I'm in meetings all morning so I can't get a link  post up, but use this as open thread to discuss all the talk this morning -- such as J5's birthday party or the ridiculous suggestion by J.A Adande that Dallas should trade Dirk this offseason so they can sign Dwyane Wade in 2010.
