Pretty stoked about this game. Ive been rejuvenated as a fan since Batum was benched.

Looks like the BKN game starts early on Saturday (5pm ET), I guess maybe because of the Final Four games? Not sure, but just a heads up for anyone scoreboard watching.

So, is it confirmed that Batum is getting less minutes due to performance and not any type of injury issues? If that's right, I'm surprised we finally had the balls to do that. Hard to give up on all that money.

It's a nationally televised game -- fine them, Silver! Fine them!

I love how the teams we are competing with get free passes against the same teams who go all out vs us.

Remaining games:

Hornets 37-42 - @Det, @Cle, vsOrl
Miami 38-41 - @Tor, vPhl, @Bkn
Orlando 40-40 - @Bos, @Cha
Brooklyn 40-40 - @Ind, vMia
Detroit 39-40 - @Cha, vMem, @NYK

If those teams actually play their stars, then we have a good chance to make it. Why is the NBA willing to fine the Pelicans for sitting AD but not fine the other teams for sitting their healthy stars right before the playoffs start?

Homecourt advantage in the BOS/IND series is still up for grabs, with BOS currently one game ahead of IND and holding the tiebreaker. To move ahead of BOS, IND must win both of their remaining games and have BOS lose both of their remaining games.

BKN plays IND tomorrow at 5pm, while ORL plays BOS at 7:30pm. I would think that IND will be giving it their all, and if they win, then I would imagine that leads to BOS giving it's all to clinch homecourt advantage.

While TOR has clinched the #2 seed in the East, they are tied with GSW in the loss column, so, they may try to win to guarantee themselves homecourt advantage over GSW if the two teams meet in the Finals. MIA plays TOR at 12pm tomorrow.

With Brooklyn winning today our likely only shot now is Orlando losing tomorrow against Boston and us winning out.

Indiana will lay down for Brooklyn I fear

I think BKN gets beat as they will be in the 2nd game of a back 2 back after beating the Bucks today

Cody is back for this game?

I mean he is better than Biz but he doesn't make that much an impact

Detroit is favored by 6.5 points. That's a terrible sign, shows most the world doesn't see us winning this one. Can't say I disagree. I think a lot of these fluke wins lately have been more of a result of good teams slowing down in preparation for the playoffs as opposed to our guys actually improving.

Miami is all but eliminated unless they win out, Detroit loses out and Brooklyn loses out

Our hopes ride on the Celtics tonight and us taking care of business
