Yeah... and he scored 82 a couple years ago, scoring shouldn't automatically give you MVP...

Every time I think the Raps are finally going to slow down, they come out on nights like tonight and simply kick ass... Gotta love the home boost. An important game too!

3rd in the East is definitley coming down to the wire, these games against each other in the last couple weeks are going to be INTENSE. Bulls are simply playing too good, I would prefer them taking 2nd and getting Cavs in first round if anything. Wizards in a 3rd seed-6 seed are definitley the team I want though.

*Might*

If the playoffs started today here's the first round matchups.

Eastern Conf
(my picks in bold)
Piss vs Magics
Cavs vs Nets
Raps vs Heats
Wizs vs Bulls

Western Conf
Mavs vs Clips
Suns vs Nuggs
Spurs vs Lakers
Jazz vs Rockets

Let's predict the eventual East/West seedings:

West
1. Mavericks (67-15)
2. Suns (61-12)
3. Spurs (59-23)
4. Jazz (55-27)
5. Rockets (53-29)
6. Lakers (45-43)
7. Nuggets (43-41)
8. Warriors (40-42)
_
9. Clippers (40-42)

East
1. Cavaliers (51-31)
2. Bulls (50-32)
3. Raptors (46-36)
4. Wizards (45-37)
5. Pistons (50-32)
6. Heat (45-36)
7. Magic (40-42)
8. Knicks (38-44)
_
9. Nets (37-45)

Doesn't Clippers hold the tie-breaker against the Warriors? That's what I got from the TNT broadcast last night.

I think Spurs will catch Suns, and Rockets will catch Jazz.

fixed

While they are currently behind in the second tiebreaker (divisional record), I see both teams ending up with a 6-10 divisional record. So Warriors will win their one remaining divisional game at Kings, while I see Clippers winning at most 2 of their next 5 Pacific Division games. Thus, the Warriors will win the third tiebreaker with their better conference record.

For anyone watching the Wizards/Raptors game...

ho.ly. Shit.

2 insane game-tieing buzzer beaters in one week. Awesome. Wow.

Rev, your team is getting quite a few calls. Well, atleast against us. Though, nothing against them, not their fault refs suck.


Harris do suck though. I've never seen one person in one game to flop that much.

And now we win! An instant classic. I would love to play Wash. in the playoffs with the memory of this game fueling the competitive rivarly fire.

Winners always get the calls.

Good game though, 76-76 end of third.

And I'm in love with our rookies. To hell with Rondo and Williams.

good game but the Mavs are only shooting 35% so far.

Play of the Year #2

lol... Nothing beats seeing something like that live though. Rufin is so dumb, he holds onto the ball to get fouled or throws it towards Toronto's end, they win... Instead he throws it in the air and expects that'll do it for the clock... and then the crazy lob-shot, wow. Side-story is also that Peterson was benched by the coach the entire time for an un-revealed reason, came in at last minute and did that.

Get out the salami and cheese momma, this game's over.

Wow, lol.

hey Nebs looks like both teams will attempt 40+ freethrows before the games over.

Heh, let them.

As long we win.

I love tonights game, quite quite exciting.

it's too bad your team missed 11 freethrows already or they'd be ahead double digits.

Nowitzki and Terry just keep giving us daggers.

You bastards don't need the win this hard! Lose it! :-p

DAMN! Harris never gets those calls.

oh boy i sense a last second game winner coming.

What a fucking awful loss, really fucking awful.

hahaha back to back great defensive plays by the Mavs. a steal and then a block.

HELL YEAH! Mavs just set a new franchise record with 61 wins.

Dirk came alive with 17 of his 30 points when it counted most (4th period).
