GAMES OF INTEREST.

It is absolutely crazy whats happening in the East.

The 4th to the 10th seed to separated by only 4 losses.

4th-20-16-Bucks
5th-22-18-Magic
6th-21-19-Pacers
7th-19-17-Heat
8th-19-19-Pistons
9th-19-19-Hawks
10th-18-20-Bulls

If the Pistons go on another 5 game winning streak, they could end up as high as the 4th seed. A losing streak, and they could end up in the 11th seed, or even lower. Trade deadline right around the corner. Langdon has huge decisions to make.

Raptors # (19-19)Pistons(8th seed)

(19-17)Heat(7th seed)@ Blazers

Other games have been postponed due to the fires in the West, and the Ice out East.

Looks like THJ is a GTD. Hopefully he’ll be back.

I don't know the weather in Toronto, but I'm worried about canceled games due to weather.

The weather in Toronto is fine (30F). Interesting song to start the thread - I knew Gord.

yeah i live near toronto and the weather is perfectly fine, checked the weather in detroit to see if there was a storm or something but it looked fine as well?

i just googled it though - the HOU@ATL game was postponed tonight because of snow/ice, even though the rockets were already in atlanta. i still remember a number of years ago atlanta got like an inch of snow and it completely shut the city down, there were accidents left right and center, etc.

i think people in detroit and toronto obviously have a much different perspective of "fine weather".

Yeah Detroit and Toronto are literally the last cities you'd have to worry about a game being canceled due to winter weather.

Should be a tough game. Ochai Agbaji and Bruce Brown are back today.

Cade was fouled on that three. He is going to have to stand up to these refs. Pick up the tech, put your size 15 in their asses.

Can't believe the Pistons fell twice to the same play for the 3 in the corner. Stew bought it both times almost identical.

Its kind of weird that Sasser, still hasn't learned how to run an offense yet. Langdon absolutely has to get another PG with Ivey down.

The results this quarter makes it painfully clear. Either that, or give the duties to any other player. Holland is better. Ausar. I honestly don't care. Sasser just cannot figure it out.

Damn, tie game after building a quick lead.. Still wish we had Bruce Brown.. I'd like to see Holland take it to the hoop on that first shot opportunity of his.

I never knew Barnes was so whiney, and a flopper. Interesting.

Cade is becoming a legit star, and with his style of play we're about to be able to attract top free agents.

Liked how Ausar got the steal and went to the paint so fast, drew in defense, and gave THJ a WIDE open shot. Too bad he missed. But those plays are better than Ausar (or Ron) shooting the 3. Do what you do best.
