These first four days of the playoffs have found us busy trying to track down the lesser-known Tesh brother, Dave, so we could collaborate on a new network jingle. Before anyone rashly reaches for the miniature hammers and gasoline, here's a breakdown of the ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-basketball so far by the numbers:
1 Injuries suffered by an All-Star and team captain after David Lee tore his hip flexor Saturday. Lee is out for the remainder of the playoffs.
1 Injuries suffered by TNT's studio stars after Shaq pulled a muscle walking to the desk on Tuesday. He then slammed on the set's hoop to show he wasn't hurt - and then probably put an Icy Hot patch on the area afterwards.
2 Game winners, both by point guards: Denver's Andre Miller, who confessed he's never hit one at any level, and L.A.'s Chris Paul, who nonchalantly noted, "I looked up at the clock and thought I better get a shot off."
3+ Months since the Nuggets last lost at home, prior to Tuesday's defeat. Denver's previous setback, one of only three at the Pepsi Center all season, was January 18.
3,17 Baskets made, compared to free throws made, by Paul George, out of 13 and 18 attempts, respectively. George finished with a triple-double: 23 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Most Improved, indeed.
64.6 Field goal percentage the Warriors shot in their game 2 win, including 56% on three-pointers, the highest in a postseason game since 1991, which predates rookie Harrison Barnes' (9-14 for 24 points) birth.
23 Total points the Celtics in the second half Tuesday, two fewer than they tallied after halftime in Sunday's loss. The Knicks nearly tripled the Celtics production in the third quarter last night, outscoring them 32-11.
Incalculable Lazy jokes made about the Rockets "rolling over" or "dogging it" in light of the Thunder's halftime entertainment during a 29-point rout. Our advice: Houston should just setter that game aside
