40 Wins!!! We have doubled our win total from last season.

Go Hawks!!!

Kinda like this Nate cat.

I would rather Goodwin in there instead of Lou.  Lou is not a point guard and it hurts the second unit.

if we need some instant offense then try Lou ... otherwise some thing else.  There is a reason LA traded him for a point guard ... it’s not his role or position.

Beal and Harden want a word with you 

Ah but the advantage with Bogi is he is not a prima donna.

Miami looking like last years playoff team ... I don’t know if I want them or NY

Knicks up 1, Keldon just finished a 3 point play.

[Spud2nique]

Well Knicks win, we gotta win on Sunday. Damnit Derozan!!!!

Houston has lost their last 7 games.  But here are their point totals in the last 5 games.

 

122 vs Lakers ( lost by 2 )

129 vs Portland ( lost by 11 )

116 vs Utah ( lost by 8 )

133 vs Milwaukee ( lost by 8 )

115 vs Philly ( lost by 20 )

 

Don't expect an easy game, especially if they have it going from 3.   Hawks need to be about their business come Sunday.

Looking at the schedule, Miami has a decent shot of being the 5th seed now. All they have to do is beat Milwaukee most likely, and ole' Bud could very well rest his starters. 

I think we could handle that matchup but I would be less of a fan of facing them then facing the Knicks.

[Spud2nique]

Knicks and Heat have 2 games remaining so our Rockets game on Sunday isn’t a must..yet.

He can't hit threes either.

[Spud2nique]

Go Hornets, Bucks, Pistons and Celts the next few days!

[Lurker]

Although based off what I just watched, the Sixers failed again to clinch the #1, so Milwaukee probably doesn't sit their starters.

Of course, that's putting the cart before the horse, let's hope we win on Sunday too.

He should have tried to make it. Understand 5.7 isn’t too much time without a timeout but they could have fouled within 1.7 or so leaving 4 seconds and at their point Knicks would have been up 3 assuming they made both and the Spurs would have gotten a decent chance to tie with a long distance one, Knicks wouldn’t have fouled then fearing it would be in the 3 point motion.

They are playing Orlando who's tanking twice. 

[Spud2nique]

The Knicks game vs the Celts is 6 hours earlier than ours vs Houston so we might know a bit by then whether we need to rest or play our starters. That’s just with them the Heat game is an hour later than ours that night.

Sheesh, down to the wire.

We're getting Miami..The Bucks will let them win Sat knowing if they win out they'll avoid them in the 1st rd...

Oh well...yeah, they should be good then.

So...Milwaukee. They might well sit their starters. It'd be a power move to avoid Miami.
