NBA Playoffs

slightly off topic, I find it hillarious that the Knicks are doing so poorly. Way to go Isiah Thomas. You weren't a good businessman (in fact you were a crook), you weren't a good coach, and you're not a good executive

New Jersey is far from out of it......although being a Raptors fan, I pray to god they don't make it

at least he's got a few championship rings, maybe he should just be happy w/ those and get out of the way

the thing is that Detroit and Miami already have their playoff spots. They're not fighting for position like the Celtics. Why don't you look back at those last 25 Heat games and see how many times Shaq sat out. Plus the last time I checked the Pistons had won 9 straight. And just to clarify, the Celtics lost their last game against the Pistons 105-99.

What's there to clarify dude. I said the last time Antoine played them. Yes Detroit is on a 9 game winning streak, , and they're still 16-8 their last 24, not helping your cause dude

Well thankfully the NBA doesn't have a 24 game playoff series. I'm just trying to make the stats relevant.

I still can't believe they sat Luke Walton last night when he was one assist away from a triple double. One of the shittiest coaching decisions I've seen in a while.

Crazy concept for people to coach to win not for some guy's stats

You apparently weren't watching the game. Luke Walton was the best player the Lakers had on the court last night. You don't have a near triple double by playing like shit. I'm surprised that I even have to explain this.

. I'm just glad that Basketball Jesus came to Indiana and got rid of Isiah's dumb ass.

These guys will probably take the whole thing. They are looking great. Too bad my kings aren't playing as they used to.

Don't get me wrong about the Celtics. I think they're good, they'll make the finals...BUT without a doubt it's the Spurs taking the title. Big Dawg was just icing on the cake

I don't know that the spurs can take the suns this season.

Regular season and post season basketball are different...Nash as the fraud that he is will be exposed for his lack of defense...and the Patriot-esque Spurs will prevail...cause much like the Pats they have the best player in their respective sport

We're finally back!

Noboby has mentioned my Houston Rockets! Don't count them out!
I went to the game tonight and they handed Denver their asses!

I can see debates about the east...but seriously debate the west VERY quickly...the Suns can run all they want, playoff time the Spurs END them, thanks for a magical regular season, talk to ya later...the Rockets, TMac is great, Yao is very good, Duncan is the best and the 3 headed monster just out duels Houston...bye bye...If you wanna call Dirk Duncan a wash I'll buy it, after that teams aren't close, nor is coaching...Sacto isn't even close...Memphis, PLEASE...Denver, give me a break, I think they could be better in the playoffs than in the regular season, especially under Karl, BUT they won't beat the Spurs...who else, Seattle, no thanks,

the rockets have the mcgrady curse could be broken if they play the sonics

Why would it be broken if they play Seattle?

Cavs are on the brink of missing the playoffs...weren't they the #2 seed at one point midseason?

The new owner is a has his hands full! To much cash, not enough NBA IQ. He's heading back to the Cav days of the past. LBJ could walk when his contract is over, or demand a trade (he is the entire franchise). Their young players can't play championsihp level ball with coaches getting fired and the GM on the chopping block. They're not ready for the off-court transition game. Couldn't these moves have waited for the end of the year. I want to see LBJ in the playoffs. It's the only way to really see where he stands in the NBA ( nobody plays hard for 48 minutes until the playoffs)

My money is on the nets in the playoffs over the cavs!

both teams would be better off missing the playoffs in the hope of striking it lucky in the lottery.

just imagine if the Nets got the #1 pick, and added bogut, to a jefferson krstic frontcourt and a carter-kidd backcourt

Just purchased two tickets for the Celtics home playoff game...juuuust a bit excited

celtics v pacers
