    hehe
    Well I can't give the in depth input most of you guys can, so I had to chime in there!

    I can't wait for the playoffs. However though, as much as I understand it, I hate this Russell in and out shit like D-Wade. I want the team to get on a good run with all the same units each game. I don't want to take it easy until the playoffs start. Whatever though. It's not a huge deal.

    While I'm posting, does anyone know when the NBA lottery will be?

    Thanks man I've spent so much time trying to find that! I even read that before too, so I must have read right over it, whilst missing it.

    Yeah I found that the NBA page is weird at times. I like looking at stats.nba.com and sometimes I can find the particular stat I'm looking by just finding the setting. But other times, I have to google it so google can point me to the correct page with the correct settings haha

    Man I hate it. It's like the NFL.com stats thing, but nowhere close as bad. That one is beyond bad. You can't even FIND the stats. PERIOD. I just use Yahoo Fantasy for my NBA stats. It's really easy lol.

    edit: I'm not crazy am I? I swear BS posts count now.

    I think they do count.

    Oh man I gave up on NFL.com. I just use profootballreference. When I want quick stats for a player for basketball I go to basketball reference.com. But for anything advanced or related to this year, I stick to NBA.com. Really enjoy all the info they have up for anyone to use

    I don't understand their pie chart thing. Like Durant had something like 35% last time I checked, and he had the most. That makes zero sense to me. Also, yeah I use the same site for football. I like to follow career stats a lot, and that site is just amazing when it comes to those things. I think the NFL tries to hard on their site. It doesn't need to be difficult.

    Jalen Rose Contender power rankings

    1) Miami
    2) Spurs
    3) Clippers
    4) Thunder
    5) Pacers
    6) Warriors

    He does not like Houston and says GS will top HOU if they meet in the playoffs. I agree with those rankings right now. I might flip Thunder and IND as Bill Simmons mentioned players 4-12 of the contenders, OKC probably has the worst

    Jalen also said game 1 of the finals, they're all going to be in San Antonio.

    I will disagree and say this does not happen.

    Are you leaning more to they won't make the finals or they will make it but won't have HC? Or just overall, having them have the better record and making the finals is just low percentage of happening

    Spurs - Wizards will be a clean sweep.

    Im really hoping the Knicks or Nets win the East. Id KILL to be at the deciding game where the Spurs could potentially win the championship, even if it was in Washington I would drive down there. Hell I would consider driving to Indy or Charlotte.

    Knicks? In the NBA Finals?

    I think I'd offer 400/1 odds on that.

    Those are probably the odds of the Knicks just making the playoffs forget about the finals.

    It would prolly be cheaper for me to fly down to Miami and go to a Heat game with a Hotel, rather than pay MSG prices for a finals game.

    Bovada has Knicks to win the title at 200/1. Obviously a ripoff.



    Knicks to make playoffs I'd put at more like 15/1.

    Knicks to win title should be more like 1000/1.
