Shane Battier was on both teams as he was on the 07-08 Rockets.

Clearly if Shane Battier was waived right now and joined the Bobcats we'd rattle off 16 straight to end the season. That's how it works right?

No, but this team would be a hell of a lot better.

The Heat are animals. They were down about 130 points with about 9 mins to go in the 2nd and with 10 mins to go in the 3rd they just tied it up.

heat will only lose one game in the eastern conf playoffs (something like 4-0, 4-0, 4-1). i doubt i will watch more than 15 minutes of the eastern conf playoffs this year. in fact, im just gonna pretend like the heat and the east conf doesnt exist and let the west conf playoffs serve as my NBA finals.

The Celtics have a nice future core in Rondo, Bradley, and Green. If they can turn Garnett and Pierces future expirings into a superstar or a couple of nice players they could be dynamite.

celtics doing everything they can to lose this game. blowing a 13pt lead with 7 mins. doc takes out green who has like 45 pts in crunchtime to rest him for 5 minutes.

Game is pissing me off. Cant leave Green out that long. Now hes ice cold and probably wont do much the rest of the game.

How is that not a jump ball on a hell of a defensive play by Battier?

Refs try to give Boston the game and they still blow it.

Freaking Battier. What an amazing two plays to close out a game of this size.

The block on the Green drive and then the bounce of Pierce with the inbound.

What a guy.

Pistons are horrid right now. Can't wait to receive their pick.

What a horrible loss for Utah, they are simply not playoff material.

Tough loss for the Bulls. IMO, Wrong call on Koufos, but right call on Noah.

Thibodeau had every right to go into rage mode though.

yeah, i can understand why the bulls were upset due to the inconsistency of the application of that rule during the final minutes of that game.
