Lol 42 point lead.
You'n me both. The bench was saving the first unit during the first half of the season offensively, but even that started to wane a bit after the ASB. And I hope Diaw is good to go.
We don't expect the lower seeds to win a title. We just hope for amazing things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993–94_Denver_Nuggets_season. It's not uncommon that the best series in the playoffs isn't the finals.
I think that's been true in years past, but this year from the Clips on down are all very flawed teams. The Celts for example won in OKC, GS, Houston, lost close to Portland and Memphis. I don't think the gaps that big. Notwithstanding GS and SA's excellence, the East is just as good as the West if not better.

I'm pissed. Mostly blowouts and....some fucking douche bag stole my fucking basketball. Fuck you, disphit.
... wait, what?
Don't worry Cuban will take care of Dirk. He'll be fine.

Well that was fucking embarrassing.
The roster is never a competitive one though, I don't understand what the hell Mark Cuban is trying to achieve. Its always filled with over the hill vets, trying to get a little bit more out of them. Including their title run. Holding on to Terry, Kidd, Deron, Felton, Carter, Jefferson. They've had such a strange culture since 2011.
I thought this might've been the year the Raptors transcended their Cubs-like curse, but apparently not. I won't be surprised if someone else knocks Cleveland out.
I feel like if Boston beats Atlanta, they'd be the ones to do it.
But then you'd have a Celtics-Hornets ECF.

don't worry; nobody in the East is beating CLE. Regular season boredom got you confused.
Dirk took a paycut(twice IIRC) and the Mavs never put together a competitive team after his sacrifice. There are people who assume that Cuban will give him a high paying front office job when he retires though.
yeah probably. After being a Hornets season ticket owner last year, we dropped em because no good player wanted to play us here, and they charged more for games with good players. So we only went to 1 Hornets game this year, and that was the Spurs game where the Hornets were down 21 points and came back to win. That was pretty sweet, though.

That's what I feel as well.
My only concern with the Cavs is rest time and how they'll exploit that as their excuse so once we get past that... Expect their defense to flourish... Each team got a good look at one another last Wed. so it should be a good match^ The central division really out did themselves this year...

game day, let's go hornets!
if MKG were healthy it'd be us
still might be us but I doubt anyone is beating cleveland

With Carlisle and Dirk they were never going to be bad enough to claim that pick. Tough spot.

The Mavs roster is such a weird frankestein's monster of cast offs and has beens. They are lucky they have a top 2 coach otherwise Dirk's last couple of years would be as bad as Kobe's.

@Celtics said:
I hate everything.
They wouldn't have been bad enough to get a top two pick unless they traded Dirk and I don't think a pick in the 3-7 range is good enough to waste one of Dirks last seasons.
The Brooklyn Nets have hired Atlanta assistant Kenny Atkinson as head coach.

Yup, seemed like an obvious missed call.
I'd love to see a compilation of all of lebron's push offs much like the flagrant video for lin
dude's a beast but that part of his game always pisses me off. can't blame him though because it's the refs that are really enabling it but it's still annoying. he's the only dude that consistently gets a no call.
