LOL! Was that a jab at Van Gundy? Speaking of jabs at Van Gundy, I liked the love tap that Oakley gave him, "nudging" him into the press table (I like Van Gundy, but I was rooting hard against the Knicks tonight).

I continue to be amazed that Vince Carter does not get superstar treatment from the refs. Every time he put the ball on the floor, he got hand-checked.

Toronto does remind me of the Lenny Wilkens era at the Hawks in one way. Whenever the Knicks ran a double team at Vince, Toronto got absolutely nothing out of it. That is despite the fact that Carter is unselfish and passes very well. They never were able to design any kind of play or spacing that would get easy shots for the open man. That strategy was extremely effective for the Knicks throughout the series, as it always was against his Hawk teams. I'll give him credit, though, for being 5-0 in First-Round Game 5's.

Sprewell had a great game, and continues to show a ton of heart. He REALLY wanted that game. I'd say he wanted that game more than anyone, even more than any Raptor.
