You could consider this Game 1 of a three-game mini playoff series between the Hawks and Magic as they will play again on Sunday and then *very likely* again next Tuesday in the 7/8 game of the play in.

excited for this one for this reason, but unfortunately I'll miss most of it.

Big night tonight on multiple fronts. Memphis, Golden State, LAC, and Minny all playing to close the gap with the Nuggets out west tonight and pull even in the win column. Plus we got our little playoffs with the Hawks. Exciting!

[basketballRob]

I'm pretty sure Brown, Tatum, Porzingas, and Horford are questionable for the Celtics today. Hopefully, they will hold them out tomorrow.

The Nuggets fire Malone. I'm sure he'll be the fans #1 target for the Magic fans. With the history we had with his father

WOW...I'm shocked. He's a highly-regarded guy....also, very frank speaker - I wonder who he pissed off

Pretty shocking that two playoff teams would fire guys so close to the playoffs rather than wait until summer. I guess the BOS success story is still bouncing around their heads.

I'm a simple man, I just want wins.

You’re taking NetPoints to the game?

Denver won a championship and now isn’t. They don’t seem likely this year. Expectations aren’t being met.

Lost the locker room..... If it was just organizational, you can keep him for the playoffs then fire him in the off-season..... They don't even want him around the guys, which I take to mean the players are lost on him..... Same thing I felt about grizzlies head coach, then you hear about him and ja not seeing eye to eye..... It makes sense

Whats the consensus around here on whether we prefer the Celts or Cavs in round 1?

I want a rematch with the Cavs

I would rather face the Celtics. It's a good experience on a bigger stage. We'd probably have 1 game on ABC against the Celtics. The Cavs series would be on NBA TV or TruTV.

Brown/Tatum vs. Franz/Paolo is more intriguing.

The Hawks are going to have their best 3 point game against us aren't they?

Celtics. I believe we're going to get crushed but I want to see Paolo and Franz on the big stage and see if they can stand the pressure.
