Yesterday we had 5 games on schedule today, we have double that, lets gooo...

- To start the night we have the good old rivalry of Celtics vs Heat, Celtics can clinch a playoff spot tonight with win and a Atlanta loss to the Clippers, I'm assuming Miami we try to win tonight as they need to avoid falling to the 9th seed as much as possible

- We have the Pacers vs 76ers, I'm sure we are all expecting a blow out but you know never in the NBA that's why we play the games.

- Clippers are playing the Hawks as both teams are looking to keep there position or move up the standings, could be a decent one.

- Mavericks are playing the Rockets believe it or not but they still have a bit of a lead on the Phoenix Suns we have been trying to play catch up all season.

- As we hit the midday point in tonight's schedule we have the Cavs trying to go for number 16 in a row against the 2nd seed Grizzlies, should be one of the best games of the night.

- Next up we have Orlando who had a impressive showing from duo stars of Franz and Paolo last game they will go head to head against
the Minnesota tonight if they lose tonight and Miami wins they will drop to the 9th seed.

- We have the Hornets playing the Spurs let's see some rookies in action tonight, not sure if Lamelo will play but it shouldn't be as bad as the Pacers and 76ers game.

- The next game is the Lakers vs Denver in the mile high Colorado would be a great game if Lebron and the starting front court could join the Lakers tonight, if the Lakers want to win it has to be more of a team showing and not what happened last night in Milwaukee,
Denver will also be looking for some payback from the last encounter.

- As we coming near the end of the night it will be Toronto vs the Jazz I'm assuming both teams want to win, as the Jazz are riding a seven game losing streak and Toronto looks to be gunning for that 10 seed.

- And the last game of night will be Sacramento Kings vs the Phoenix Suns, both teams will be looking to win this one, as kings want to keep climbing up the standing putting pressure on the Clippers and Suns want to win this one to keep the pressure on the Mavericks and if they lose this one they will lose to the Kings 3 times this year, which they want to avoid as they Kings do play the Suns one last time at the end of the regular season, so this game could have huge implications.

Have fun everyone and enjoy your weekend.

Sorry buddy! I can't delete my OP since people have already commented on it.

I didn't get a PM from you but sorry I jumped the gun today. I know you are usually making these things before you go to bed, and I'm usually making them when I wake up. So today I wasn't sure if you were around, and I had to leave the house for work and didn't want to leave it hanging for several hours until I got back.

Luka OUT tonight vs. the Nuggets.

Putting him back in while down 20 points in the fourth quarter last night, knowing you have a huge game tonight against Denver is a rookie coach type of mistake.

Padding stats and pretty much guaranteed two losses.

[Clav]

I like our lineup for games today! Was gonna watch LA/DEN but without Luka I'm thinking it's gonna be Wolves /Magic or Suns/Kings tonight. [the Suns/Kings is a Huge capital H game for both teams in the playoff hunt]

Also chez moi I'm hosting a classic poker night tonight complete with at least a bill or two on the table. May lady luck let me collect my friend's money tonight! This is the type of betting I prefer, not prop bets and parlays on #s, taking cash from your friends is way more fun.

[or losing your money to them ]

On my computer I can split screen games haven't figured out how to do It on TV yet, I'll look at It today.

Let's go Lakers! going to be a field day for Den, but always cheer for Lakers

[Backcountry]

The most important question of the night:

Will former Toronto Blue Jay and Boston Celtic Danny Ainge's team continue it's downward spiral towards Flaggdom, or will they be the ones to slow down the Raptors' juggernaut squad of G-Leaguers, 2-way and 10-day contractors from steadily decreasing Toronto's odds of a top pick in this June's draft?

Basketball fans everywhere will be glued to their seats, nervously biting their nails as this tremendous battle unfolds.

Go Raps!

[Johnny Tomala]

Hawks, Cavaliers, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Suns.

[SlimShady83]

What's the prediction for the amount of 3's the Celtics take today?

I'm going 55

[ryan in Maine]

Ruma85 and bisme37 really spoil us. The board is lucky to have you guys.

[SlimShady83]

"Lakers are struggling with out Lebron Part 2"

[jordanwilliams6]

76ers deserve everything bad that comes their way as a franchise. Are they seriously just going to sit out their entire rotation for the next 20+ games?

Hope they luck into a good pick at the draft and choose yet another bust.

Raprors vs Jazz is gonna be fire, will be able to play everyone's favorite game - "who the hell is that guy?"

I just watched Olympiacos vs Panathinaikos, and I believe Ataman didn't use a single time out in that game, and his team was down big most of it.

[SlimShady83]

damn games take for ever to start smh let's go! I just want some basketball
