The Heat have one hell of an easy route to the ECF... Bobcats and Raps/Wiz. The Pacers are gonna lose in the 2nd round and get pushed by the Hawks IMO.
 
#$#@# Was hoping Phoenix would make the playoffs? Is there still time for them to get in?
 
Anyone else rooting for the Nuggets right now? If they beat the Clips, our game tomorrow night is completely useless and both sides can relax.

The first and last time I routed for the nuggets they blew a 17 pt lead and lost to the rockets. Never again.

Me too, but I've got to say I hate Harden almost more than Westbrook now - all that flailing and flopping. And his defense is beyond atrocious - would Corey Brewer score 51 on anyone else?

Brewer was guarded by other players for most of that but yeah Harden is very very bad at defense. Most Rockets fans just hope its an effort thing and he gets better in the playoffs, we've seen him have great defense on isolated possessions in the 4th quarter but he cant seem (or doesn't want) to do that for the entire game.
 
Griffin won't be playing tomorrow anyway since he picked up his 16th tech tonight. I don't think he deserved that, though. He went for the ball and happened to hit Mozgov across the face after actually hitting the ball.

Really? Wow, I didn't catch that. Nice! I want to win tomorrow night. That makes it easier.

Shut up, Reggie.

Because they play like an NBA team should, all out, all the time. The Blazers play down to the level of their opponents.
Seldom up.

Another person who types before they think. My Blazers can play however they want as long as they win 54 games a season compared to whatever PHX won.

It looks like he was going for the ball, and got it. But it was a dumb play because even if he struck the ball more squarely, where did he think his arm was going to follow through? Was he just not thinking about the risk? If so that's also a problem.

He went for the ball but he put a lot of emphasis on it which results in the hit to to the face. I think the T was half in result to the way he tried for the block and the resulting hit as well as for the little outburst afterwords.
 
Detroit still up on OKC with under 3 minutes left.
 
OKC pulls out the win 112-111. Kind of crazy in that they played their full roster,and needed to win the game, but still struggled.
 
East matchups set

Indy/Atl
Miami/Charlotte
Toronto/Brooklym
Chicago/Washington

Everything set in West but 7th and 8th seed, in OT right now. Clippers will play Warriors in first round.
 
I doubt San Antonio wants to play Memphis in the first round, and Dallas just bailed them out.
 
San Antonio swept Grizz in playoffs and swept Grizz in regular season. Why would the Spurs be worried?

SAS dodged a bullet with MEM getting #7! Hope they knock out OKC in the 1st!
 
Houston played Dwight 26 mins and bev 22 but they still lost to the Pels, LOL,

MEM is a much better team than DAL. I think anyone - even the Spurs - would much rather play DAL than MEM.
Did the Spurs play MEM when they were at full strength this season?
Doesn't really matter - I have the Spurs as the favorite in the West, I just think the first round got A LOT easier for them. MEM is one of the few teams that could give them a scare.

Gasol played 2 games against the Spurs. Their worst loss was late this season, though, when both teams were at full strength. Dallas just doesn't scare me at all. Memphis seems to elevate their game in the playoffs...
