Can't god make them all miss playoffs?

Can you god??!

damnit! I went to the Cavs game and saw them win, thats awesome and all. But why oh why couldn't Washington take those asshole Nets out.

The Cavs are done. If Doc Rivers is going to rest his starters again like he did tonight, then the Nets are going to win. I personally (Being a Celtics fan) don't have a problem with that because I want the stars to be healthy for the playoffs, but it doesn't look good for the Cavs and Lebron.

NJ down 6, and Cle winning!

If lebron gets in, the NBA is so fixed.

No way Kidd and Vince lose the game to half the celtics team.

it's cleveland. new jersey could be losing by 40 and the cavs could be winning by 40 and the cavs would still lose and the nets will still win. god hates cleveland for some reason lol.

well, things are looking good so far. 62-47 Cavs over Toronto at the half and 58-47 Boston over NJ at the half. I'm not counting my chickens just yet though because i've done this so many times. I'll think the Cavs will have it won only to see them collapse. I won't be celebrating until it's over.

wooooooot. Everything going right so far. Pray that it stays that way.

Nets getting closeeeeee ... can't see them losing.

Indiana is getting crushed too!!! 6 seed here the sixers come.

of course NJ is gonna win. it's inevitable. cleveland never catches a break

NJ 32, Boston 8 in the 3rd quarter .... God has spoken.

Just saw that the Nets are taking the 3rd quarter 30 to 8, did Boston pull there players at the halh????????????

If yes was that the right thing to do.

Then would it have been right not to play any starters at all.

They never played them at all.

Celtics players have left the building. 8 points? At least try to show you care about scoring a little bit.

this is unbelievable. 32-8 third quarter?!?!?!?!

God does hate the Cavs.

of course he does. god hates cleveland. the most cursed sports city in america by far.

Poor Cleveland as they are getting teased/

Nets by 4 with 1 minute left.

as usual.

this is just not fair

well it's over. Cavs don't make it. UnFUCKENbelievable. Boston loses a 19 point lead to lose. This is so not fair. This sucks unbelievably.

Did abusing all of those smilies make you feel better?

I didn't think so.

Smilies have feelings too.

Now would be great time for James to ask for a trade to NY.

When Boston had the 19 point lead, all of their starters (Who were healthy, Raef Lafrentz and Gary Payton sat this game out) were in the ball game. The starting 5 tonight for the Celts were Antoine Walker, Paul Pierce, Marcus Banks, Tony Allen, and Al Jefferson. Midway through the third quarter, the night for Walker and Pierce were over, hence the 8 point quarter for the Celtics. If the Celtics had something to play for tonight then the Cavs would be in and not the Nets.



They'd still lose.

someone make a first round thread so we start predicting the winners and keep score.
