NBA took yesterday off so baseball and the NCAA can have their day in the spotlight. Fuck.

Oh well, at least we had the day off on a good note.

Every game Miami and NJ plays from now on is huge.

Indiana NEEDS to beat chicago if they want to feel good about their playoff chances.

Sacramento at Dallas is going to be a dogfight. These guys beat the crap out of each other last time.

Oh, and go Jazz.

Go Indy! I want Philly in the first round. I want no part of the Pacers or Bulls. Not because I think they can beat us but because those teams are likely to pulls some cheap shit to try and injure our players and/or get them suspended.

A little question for you guys who are good at looking this stuff up:

Has there ever been a year where 3 teams in the league finished with 60 or more wins?

Because right now, the Pistons have 60 wins, San Antonio is going to get there and currently have 57. Dallas can still hit the mark while at 55 right now. I just can't ever recall seeing three teams with a 60+ win season in the same year.

Utah, LA, CHicago and Seattle all won 60+ in 1998, and Indy was only 2 wins short.

Indiana just blew a 90-71 lead and Chicago leads by 1 with 53 seconds left.

Jermaine Oneal fouled. Misses both FTs.

Nocioni scores, 99-96 Bulls. They're on an incredible 28-6 run.

Anthony Johnson can't inbound the ball. 5-second violation, chicago ball, 22.1 left.

Pacers elect not to foul ,Gordon hits a 3 to beat the 24 second clock.

Ballgame. Bulls win, 102-96.

AGain, the Pacers were leading 90-71 with about 10 minutes left.

3 60+ wins is rare. no one seems to say much, but has this been the best reg. season title race ever?

I don't want Indiana in the play-offs. No matter how much you all believe they suck. There season will be seen as a success if they can bump us off or even claiming they "softened us up" for later rounds.

Come on Philly!!

CLASSIC Melo moment...

Clips lead Denver 109-107 with 1 minute left.

Melo goes to the hoop and gets fouled.

Melo, for whatever reason, punts the ball into the stands.

Melo gets ejected.

Not only do the CLips get a tech FT, they get to PICK which Nugget shoots Melo's FTs.

Clippers pick reggie Evans to shoot the FTs, and he misses both.

Clippers win.

Unbeliaveable stupidity.

you could say that about all our opponents. we are a marked team in the east. Theres no way to get away from that. Playing indy will keep us sharp. we wont put as much effort into facing philly. but i say bring on whoever.


oh yea the heat are getting serious again. they shalacked the bucks. Having the nets on their asses ended the cruise control. we are gonna get hit with their best stuff thursday in miami where they play way better. This will be a great test.

I was thinking the samething. It's going to be a mighty tough game, I hope they come in ready for the challenge from the opening tip.

Kilo- That Melo moment was beyond classic, I just watched in shock, it was JUST like the Paul Pierce in the playoffs moment.

It would be tough for any Melo hater to come up with something better than that.

He'll never live that down. Stupid.Stupid.Stupid.

Imagine if that was a playoff game? It's an automatic ejection, they HAVE to call it (just ask Rip).
