Magic vs Nets - Sun, 4/13/14 6:00pm YES/NBA TV

[exculpatory]

Pierce getting injured and Garnett having an injury scare. Need to rest both for the remaining 2 games. We are locked in place 5.

Nope, we MAY need to win 1 more.

If the Heat beat the Wizards tomorrow, then the last 2 games will not matter.
If the Wizards beat the Heat tomorrow, then the Nets need to win 1 more VS the KnUcks or the Cavs.

Heat are giving up the chase after the Pacers?

Yep, it's weird to me as well, but apparently they are.

Well, I'm guessing they figure that the Pacers are going to win their last game against Orlando anyway, so there's no point in pushing themselves these last couple of games.

Charlotte/Toronto or Washington is a better path to the ECF anyhow for Miami.

By the way, Kidd said the rotation will stay the same. Mirza, Thornton and Plumper will see the same minutes in the playoffs.

We might have an advantage vs Chicago with the depth and spacing compared to Chicago's minute milage.

I hope KG plays at least 25 minutes a game in the playoffs.

No reason why he doesn't if his back is better. I just don't get it though. His body has been playing 20mpg all year, now Kidd's gonna ramp him up to 24-25 in more intense games? I think he's body adjusted to that & he might be fatigued? Idk how like bodies react to that kinda stuff.

Well Boston's been done this year, so i'm definitely rooting for Truth, Ticket & the BK Nets to make some noise. I think Chicago will suck on the glass, but Toronto kinda scares me? lol. They got 2 guys that can get 20+ easily any night, a young very good player in Ross, & Jonas since the break (well march & on) has been awesome. Deep bench too, I actually think BK might be better against CHI because the Bulls got obvious flaws BK can take advantage of.

Swing the ball, Dwill on DJ, their not super athletic, they won't run their offense on the Booz-Pierce matchup. I know the way Chi plays, they'll be in every series they ever play in, however I think BK will win && I think BOTH Brooklyn & Toronto can give Mia & Indy legitimate issues in the 2nd round. Toronto is my sleeper team. Good luck BK.

I understand that but you act like he's taking up space on this team which he isn't. He does put in effort he just happens to make dumb plays. He's a bench player that's what he is and he can play damn good at times but can also disappear, I'm not saying he's a 6th man of the year candidate but his skill set for a big man coming off the bench has been useful.

That's why he pisses me off so much, though, he has talent, that's undeniable, in fact he is really skilled for a big man, but he is basketball iq is so low that it hurts the team. And he is very, very lackadaisical, you can't deny it.

I agree with ya, That's why I like to call him J.R Blatche. His skill set at his price is why I don't mind him on this team. I can understand the frustration but he's still young and I think he has played a hell of a lot better this year than last year.

thats the thing that people need to realize. the dude is 27, came right out of HS, came from a bad situation in washington, and is a BENCH player.

this is a complete 'grass is greener' type scenario. blatche has been excellent as far as a backup center goes. especially when you conisder he is asked to play more then most backup centers this year cause of garnetts restrictions.

when jason collins is out backup next year or we end up with another johan petro people will start to appreaciate blatche.

you arent getting a 2-way, high IQ, offensively skilled bigman who stays healthy as a backup center.
