Would love to see a Heat - Boston first round match-up for sure. The 8 best are locked in the East. I think NY has to do their best to get back to the 2nd seed. They don't play very well against the Bulls
Kobe racked up his 19th career triple double tonight. Kobe schools the Mavericks again. Amnesty this, you fool Cuban. 23 points, 11 assists, and 11 rebounds Clark, Gasol, and Howard all had double-doubles. Pretty crazy to have a triple double and three double doubles. Lakers destroyed Dallas on the glass of course. 20 point win.
NEed some help to get that Heat/Celtics matchup from the Bucks, would be cool though. Cuban said he would be interested in drafting Brittney Griner, the women's players from Baylor. Probably better to let her go undrafted and sign her to your D League team
http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20130402_DAL@LAL/lakers-101-mavericks-81 LOS ANGELES -- While the Los Angeles Lakers retired Shaquille O'Neal's jersey at halftime, Kobe Bryant stayed in the locker room. Kobe meant no offense to his longtime teammate and former rival. He's just busy doing everything and playing nearly every minute to keep the Lakers in the playoff race. Bryant had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in his 19th career triple-double, and the Lakers beat the Dallas Mavericks 101-81 Tuesday night in a key game for the two teams struggling to get into the Western Conference playoff picture. With former coach Phil Jackson in attendance for O'Neal's jersey retirement, Bryant put on a virtuoso performance while playing more than 47 minutes. Bryant has rested for just 79 seconds in the past two games, but he's keeping the Lakers afloat during the latest round of injuries and setbacks in their roller-coaster season. "I wish I could [have seen it], but this is a huge game for us," Bryant said of the ceremony for O'Neal, his teammate on three championship teams. "I had to stay back here and get ready for the second half. We talked when I came in at halftime. We stopped and chopped it up for a couple of minutes."

Well my shitty home state bucks pretty much assured themselves the 8th seed and a first round exit. Then Jennings can leave town, and it can become Ersan's team.
The Knicks and Pacers have to be looking at each in disbelief. Pacers, "We just went 8-2 and lost .5 game on you guys?" Knicks, "We just went 10-0 and are only up .5 games on you guys?" I believe NY's magic number to clinch the Atlantic is 4, meaning 4 BK losses or 4 NYK wins are any combnation. IND/NY have a game left, IND leads the series 2-1, that will most likely decide the 2 seed. BK extended their lead for the 4 seed over ATL to 2 games. ATL/CHI are separated by half a game. I'm sure both NYK and IND are praying ATL slips to the 6 so whoever gets the 3 seed gets ATL not CHI. BOS is 2 back of CHI and 2.5 up on the Bucks. For rooting interest, it would be cool if the Bucks could slip up to 7 to get a MIA/BOS first round matchup. OVer in the west now, Lakers .5 games up on Utah for the 8 spot. SA 1.5 gmaes up on OKC for the 1 spot. 3-5 is a mess right now I don't feel like figuring out.
Not that anyone cares..... But I'm in my fantasty basketball finals and I have Lebron and Tony Parker. Parker missed Wednesday's game just because, Lebron missed Tuesday's game just because, and Lebron is going to miss Friday's game. On top of that problem, I'm going against some who has Melo so I basically lost and it's only thursday
yeah I don't really do fantasy basketball (except espn's fast break) but it would suck to have drafted LeBron or Wade high. Washington sitting Bradley Beal for the rest of the season. They claim he's injured, but who knows.
I'm doing a season long league which I think is more fair, but yet it kind of blows not having a win-loss record. It's my first year and I got 2nd of 12.
Bulls get the win in Brooklyn, tightening up the 4-6 spots in the East Lopez had an open jumper to tie, but it went in and out.
