OKC

Pity Charlotte had to playing a team that's hit the wall, but still, they're technically in with a shot yet, so their swoon will still have 3 game to get in on if Detroit succeeds.

 

[Marlo]

The Knicks will continue to work on building for the playoffs during the upcoming offseason, which figures to be a busy one. D’Antoni said prior to the game that the Knicks’ management has already begun discussing June’s NBA Draft and that he plans on continuing the development of Chandler and the other younger players.
“We have to get excited in the offseason,” D’Antoni said. “One of our biggest things in the offseason is how we improve the team and kind of prepare to get in the playoffs. It doesn’t happen over night. As soon as the season is over on the 15th, we’ll get in the practice facility and start preparing for next year and get excited about the possibilities and get it done.”


But mmmmkkkkayyy before the Knicks fully begin focusing on the future, they will look to win out the final three games of the season to improve on their 30-49 record. New York will visit Orlando on Friday and Miami on Sunday before hosting New Jersey in the season finale next Wednesday.

 

[Marlo]

The Philly/Cavs line scares me a bit. Has Philly really quit on the regular season? Cavs have Boston on deck @ home. Then play away, and get Philly in the last game of the season @ home. Cavs still have something to play for for HCA, I believe their only 1/2 game up on the Fakers. See alot of people jumping on the Cavs, for some reason I dont like it.

Do the Lakers finally right the ship playing in Portland? No Phil, big win tonight @ home against Denver...only being 1/2 game back from Cle for HCA. Short line which is indicitive of what LA has done @ Portland the last 2 years.

Toronto intrigues me as well.

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

Stanfield you are up early today?

 

[Sammy Meatballs]

Toronto over maybe? they still cant defend, raps should win tomorrow if they play starters---

but in these games be carefull--

I know raps first qtr should go over again, I have been hitting this regualry and winning--

I would estimate with good teams about 80% of 1st qtrs are going over if you pick the right teams-- Games start out fast---

 

[Sactown King]

I have a question... is joe crawford the referee that the Spurs have bad blood with? I see him as the ref in their game tonight.

 

[tuck321]

Think Boston. They are 3-1 su and 4-0 ats last 4 against over 500 teams. They owe Miami some grief and they pay their debts.

Amusing that the Jazz may be only be a bucket dog @SAN. I wouldn't care if Duncan and TP sit out tonight. I'd still bet the Spurs. Jazz haven't won there since George Washington was president.

 

[BetCrimes1984]

[CASH]

well going back to the well for the over wiz/raptors.. just saw the lineup and bargnani is in. looking at the wiz last game vs the cavs, the cavs owed them one and needed to buckle down on D which they did and it seemed like the wiz gave up, just a guess as Jamison their leading scorer played only 28 minutes and had 4 shot attempts.
Tonight I expect both teams to run and gun all night.

 

[GWarner27]

I have a question... is joe crawford the referee that the Spurs have bad blood with? I see him as the ref in their game tonight.

correct.

...i like the Spurs but i'm thinking Timmy won't play AT ALL today after watching Pop mouth "i can't play you" when he barely made it down the court in his last game.

...going to look in to Portland as well because the Lakeshow are more of a soap opera in the Rose Garden, maybe even a telenovela

 

[GWarner27]

let me bounce this off some of you,

do you think the NBA is the sport where trends are the MOST important? I can't seem to recall anything that is even close to this with trends that actually stay true in football or baseball or college anything.

This well has dried up....
