    Memphis at Toronto tonight. Memphis tied for 7th in the West. Toronto 3rd in the East. Game is a pick'em!

    weird schedule

    normally there are never day games on saturday

    today knicks at noon

    then tomorrow there's no NBA on ABC at 1 PM because of college, and yet there are two non-nationally televised games at 1 PM (normally the only Sunday afternoon games are the ABC games).

    The noon game today threw me off big time. I think NY probably asked/demanded for the Knicks not to conflict with the BE Final at MSG.

    ^ If you are BK and WAS you would rather face TOR or CHI in the first round? They could catch up to CHI though, only 2 game backs.

    Chicago has the better D, but Toronto's has been nothing to laugh at either. Top 10 right now. TOR has the much better O, (Chi bottom 3). But Tom T has coached in the playoffs and have been there with experience before while TOR is new. Chicago rebounds the ball better on O and D.

    Wait what's your question? If I'm Brooklyn I'd rather play Chicago, if I'm Washington I would rather play Toronto.

    I think Chicago's defense could cause a lot of problems for the Wizards. Brooklyn has been playing really good defense and wouldn't get pushed around by Chicago.

    I really can't tell because while the CHI D is definitely better their offense is terrible. So I feel like overall, both would rather face CHI than TOR which seems backwards.

    The thing that doesn't account is of course Chicago's grit and grind with Tom T.

    Haha I wasn't able to watch the game and thought they were in MIL. They were in MSG hence the early game since the BE final is tonight in MSG. I thought they were in MIL and TV viewers wise MSG didn't want Knicks overlapping with BE final at MSG

    Which is why the above quoted post makes no sense

    I just can't see Brooklyn getting beat by Chicago, especially after last year. I think the Nets will get by them one way or another.

    2014 only, BK and CHI have split 1-1. I think BK is the better team but I thought that last year too heading into the playoffs. Toronto is hard to get a judge on because I only get to see a game every week or two weeks only of them. Never feel like watching them

    yeah I wasn't thinking of the tournament.

    That explains it. They had to play at noon (although the NBA should not have scheduled a Knicks home game during the Big East tournament, really).

    Still don't get why the 1 PMs tomorrow.

    Anthony Davis has a 40/20 game. Ridiculous.

    That was a really good game earlier between the Rockets and Heat. Rockets went into a complete slump though in the final minutes, bad shots, bad possesions.

    What in the world happened to OKC tonight? it appears Westbrook didnt play but to get beat like that on your home court? =/. Spurs win and continue to push for the #1 overall seed.
