PG Memphis: Mitch McDeere fared better there.

[th87]

Raptors won, Bulls won, making it marginally more difficult for the Nets to catch the 6 seed.

Bucks now at 3.

Not the worst outcome in the world.

[PG Graveyard]

Just get to the playoffs healthy. This team just doesn’t give a **** a lot of nights.

[CharityStripe34]

Two big time games coming up, at Philly and at Brooklyn. Top four teams are all right there for the #1 seed but it seems Boston is the only one that actually wants it, lol.

You try to watch college basketball instead of this and Duke wins too. Can't win either way.

I watched games from College due to March madness hype and holy cow it was disappointing, the lvl is extremely low

[Jez2983]

A lot of really bad shooting tonight.

[GoldenAntlers]

And you know it's a really weird season when the Memphis Grizzlies have the 2nd best record in the league.

They looks like a fun team tho, they play for eachother and their defense is on point.

their records no fluke, and they might be the youngest team

Nobody on the roster is over the age of 29.

If we play the Nets the consolation is that we're the #1 or #2 seed.

If we're the #3 or #4 seed the consolation is we don't have to play the Nets, that's how I am looking at it lol.

Would be a gut punch though if we are the #3 or #4 seed and the Nets sneak into the #6 or #5 seed. You're right, the Nets getting #5 or #6 is unlikely. Bulls have enough of a lead with 8 games to go and the Raptors have small lead but a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way, so we should be safe from the possibility of playing the Nets if we're #3 or #4.

There was a play where Pat air balled a wide open three to Bobby who then got his layup blocked from behind by Kyle Anderson. Was most certainly not our night.

Oh yes. They suck really bad. The hype is watching a huge underdog winning the game. Otherwise compared to the NBA it's awful.

The Grizzlies are worthy of their record, just not a franchise from a historical standpoint that you ever expect to have the 2nd best record in the league.

Grizzlies will be interesting in the playoffs, they seem like the classic team that has a bunch of good solid players that is more built for the regular season. In a 7 game series with the Suns I couldn't see the Grizzlies winning more than a game. Maybe I am wrong.

People don't watch college basketball to see a high level of basketball. They watch it because March Madness is highly unpredictable and anything can happen.

We do not have to worry about players taking time off for little things during the playoffs.

Most watch it because of gambling and the brackets they fill out.

74 games and we have not yet had our full rotation for any game. Hopefully Tuesday in Philly for the first time.

Hopefully a couple days off will give everyone enough rest for all their various aches and pains.

Actually, I looked at the schedule again. The Nets could easily go 8-0 to close the season - the only difficult game is the Bucks.

To avoid the 7 seed, the Raptors have to go like 6-2, and they have the Celtics, Wolves, Heat, and Sixers. If the Heat implosion continues, and the Sixers start benching players, it could happen.

For the same, the Bulls have to go 5-3, and they have the Heat, Bucks, Celtics, and Wolves. Could see them drop one of their "easy" games too to the Hornets or Clippers.

So certainly possible the Nets get the 5.

Wow. They could get 5th! It's a crazy time for this last 2 weeks.

So #4 seed is not safe. Let's go for the 6th seed

Let the bucks lose rest everyone: start nwora, thanos, Mamu, Wiggins, hill, and we will compete with the heat for 6th seed

Bucks now at 4 technically, tied with Celtics

Feels like there's now two distinct groups in the East: 5-10 are battling for their lives every night, while the top 4 are coasting on the top waiting to see what happens in the bottom and decide if they want the pole position or not.

The Nets do have a pretty easy schedule the rest of the way. Hornets@Nets tomorrow could possibly be a loss for the Nets, Hornets are playing well and the Nets will on a back to back. But yeah, the Hornets game, the game against the Bucks and @Hawks are the only tough games Brooklyn has left. I would guess the Nets win 2 out of those 3 and they should be locks in their other 5 games. I say they go 7-1 and finish with a 46-36 record.

Even if the Nets go 8-0, it would still be hard for them to catch the Bulls for #5. Bulls have a 4 game lead on the Nets and the Bulls own the tie breaker with the Nets. Not impossible, but not likely.

#6 is a real possibility for the Nets, Raptors have a 3 game lead on the Nets but the Nets own the tie breaker over the Raptors. Luckily the Raptors are playing well and have a fairly easy schedule, I think of the final 8 games for the Raps, 6 are at home. That said, if the Nets finish 8-0, all it would take is for the Raptors to slip up in a game they should win and the Nets could sneak into that #6 seed.

If I am betting right now, I say the Nets end up at #7, but it wouldn't be a super confident bet. I also get the feeling that with Miami having issues, it would be just their luck if they end up being the ones who draw the Nets in round 1. I have a feeling the Heat will be the unlucky ones who get the Nets.
