Just realized that the top 3 teams in the West all have better records than Indiana or the Heat. Whoever comes out of the East will probably not have HCA in the Finals. That is huge. Oh and the East sucks. 9th on the West is basically 3rd in the East what a joke.


And all the talk about going small and only Miami plays small out of the top 10 teams in the league.

San Antonio's worst nightmare faces them in the first round again....
You think Memphis is going to sit all their starters so they can face San Antonio again instead of OKC?

Can't say I ever cared much for the Suns franchise, but at the same time, hard not to feel a bit sorry for them. They had a much better season than people expected, and yet, the result is the same (lottery). It's just life in the Western Conference. Don't know what their free agent and salary situation is like, but I guess they can take solace in the fact they have a good core to build off for the future.

The nets trying to run away from the Bulls. Smart move if it works...i dont see their frontcourt handling Noah, Boozer and Gibson without Brook Lopez. Against the Raptors they can play small, against the Bulls i dont think so

They'll continue to be what they are. It's funny how people were bashing them for not taking Pau when he was available but he wouldn't have been much help. *Maybe* they win a couple more games and make the playoffs with him but it wasnt a good long term move.

Would have ruined that team's identity tbh.

Mavs/Grizzlies going into OT to see who faces Spurs and who faces OKC.

Memphis/Grizzlies playing really well right now. We might see some upsets.

LAC vs Warriors is set in stone should be epic. Rockets/Blazers will also be real good. Not a single bad series.

Props for the Raptor fan base. I've seen huge crowds outside of Air Canada Centre for Leafs games, but I didn't expect a huge crowd outside for the Raptor games either. That's actually quite impressive (for any market, let alone an untraditional market).

They've had to suffer thru a lot of terrible seasons and superstars coming thru only to leave for warmer climate teams.

Three games, three road wins. So much for home court advantage.

The Pacers continue to sink into oblivion, with Paul George putting up a Hall of Fame worthy 6-18 performance and actually looking like the best player on his team.

Meanwhile, DeAndre Jordan gives us a lesson in the difference between having an impact and posting empty stats. He shot 80% from the floor with 14 rebounds and 5 blocks! Wahoo! The Warriors (minus Bogut) outscored the Clippers 48-42 in the paint. Oops.

And finally, Blake Griffin seems slow to realize that the refs are calling the game tight, even after there are whistles on the first two possessions of the game. Be amazing, Blake.

It says here that the Clippers will get it together and beat the Warriors in the end, but the Pacers are going down in the first round. I don't think anyone will be very surprised if the Nyets knock off the Raptors.

The offensive foul in the second quarter for this third foul was beyond stupid. He didn't even seem to care

Couldn't ask for a better game 1 scenario. Nets won Raptors lost, Golden State won Clippers lost, Trailblazers won Rockets lost. Main thing is Nets get to the 2nd round. If the Pacers get to the 2nd round that would be good too. More obstacles in front of Miami the better. They can still do it they need to change their offensive schemes, and adjust to the team their playing, rather than just thinking they can get away with playing their game.

If the Pacers lose this game, they are going to have to win 4 out of the next 5, which is highly unlikely...
