a few thoughts

Atlanta with the best crowd - who would have ever thought that could be considered

you have a huge man-crush on Carl Landry, but I get it, I feel the same way about Eduardo Najera, Battier, and Tayshaun Prince. Glue guys are sweet.

The House of Pain is noted for extremely loud outbursts and likely led the vocal outpouring in ATL.

Lebron nearly averaging a triple double, with 30 ppg, doesn't warrant a MVP mention?

Was really close between LeBron, Kobe, Howard, Chris Paul, and Tony Parker. Watch for LeBron next series. I believe he should have won the MVP this season and last.

I like where you are going with the Dwight Howard MVP thing, but it was unquestionably Chris Paul.
