The current 9th seed in the East (Brooklyn) and the current 12th seed in the West (New Orleans) have matching records, meaning the 9th seed is likely to yield the 10th or 11th pick. That's incredibly dangerous ground for our pick owed to the Bulls.

Indiana, San Antonio, Portland, and Oklahoma City all have better records than Miami.

Currently, to make the EC playoffs, you'd need 33 wins. The last time a team that bad went to the playoffs was the 86 Bulls (the year Jordan was injured), when 16 of 23 teams make the playoffs.

Raptors 3rd seed in the East :D the West is so much better than the East its not even funny....actually it is but still lol

Calderon hasn't been assisting very well next to the high usage rate of Monta Ellis this season. He's been kind of ordinary as a passer

James Johnson with a solid do it all effort including 6 blocks!

he was throwing up good stats at Toronto, (I had him in fantasy), he is a good glue guy.
don't know why he found it so hard to get a contract this year

A friend of mine, Nurideen Lindsey, who played for Dunlap at St. John's when he became interim coach, told me that basically the whole team raged war against Dunlap except Harkless. Harkless was too humble, obedient, & respectful to give into Dunlap's wicked arrogance, and that's why he was easily his favorite beyond just basketball reasons

and he's averaging both over 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals. that's some Hakeem Olajuwon **** right there.

I watched the Grizzlies - Bucks game actually. Surprising may it sound, it actually was entertaining. The fact that I really like the Grizz and found much unintentional humor in the Bucks may have something to do with that though.

I'm guessing Marshall still has friends on the Suns, looks conflicted.

So Mike Dunlap was an arrogant prick in college and we asked him to be our coach? Good move. :roll:
investigate Adam Silver
