The Sixers are quietly becoming a very entertaining team to watch. They are winning so much now (18-5 since Feb 5) that it isn't just a fluke. They have beaten San Antonio, Orlando, Boston (road), Phoenix (road), and Detroit (road) during that span. Andre Iguodala is really developing in to a great player, Andre Miller is a very consistent and underrated point guard, and Dalembert has been holding his own guarding big men like Duncan and Garnett one-on-one. The Sixers run at every opportunity and the energy guys like Young, Carney, and Lou Williams bring to the game is infectous. The great thing is Billy King isn't around to make a poor trade or give Calvin Booth a max contract. In fact, I believe the Sixers will have tons of cap room after the season.

Yup, the sixers...assuming they don't give Iggy a max extension will have a bunch of room. They are pretty entertaining...they took it to the Suns a few weeks ago, so I'm looking forward to some redemption later this week.

Philly has just caught fire and took off. Now Atlanta is battling with the Nets and Indiana for that #8 playoff spot in the East.

In the two games the Warriors played against the Sixers, I noticed the athleticism, not just of AI but Carney and Williams.

Up and coming team.

But there are other teams playing the running game well at times, including Toronto.

Portland was playing it well earlier in the season but they've kind of fell back.

C's return the favor to the Suns and are now 24-5 against the West.

THE HAWKS MAKE THE PLAYOFFS!!!!

First time in over 10 years

Bad news is we get to play the best team in the NBA in the Celtics.
Will be fun going to see some playoff hoops in person hough! Hope
the Hawks can extend the series past 4 games. I don't expect them
to win, but I hope they can compete.

Yeah, I'll be rooting for the Hawks to extend that series as long as possible too, but it's looking like the Celtics will get a nice long rest while the Cavs and Wizards beat each other up for six or seven games, all just to see who gets beat by Boston in the second round.

Ugh.... I'm dreading a 2nd round series vs the Wizards.

They give the C's a lot of trouble.

All I gotta say is, how's the draft looking like next year?

Or how's the free agent class looking?

Anyone see this playoff ad?

Holy Crap...The HAWKS BEAT THE CELTICS!!!!

I was at the game and it was one of the best games I have ever been to in my life. The atmosphere at the arena was electric and the young Hawks shocked the Celtics. If Atlanta can repeat Mon. nite, we will really have something to talk about.

GO HAWKS!!!!

Horford's yapping will asure the Celts will come out with avengence tonight.

HAWKS WIN AGAIN!!!!

Unbelievable! I was at the game again and there will be a game 6 in Atlanta Fri! Hard to say who has the upper hand now in the series? Atlanta has the momentum, but Boston won easily in Boston.

On a side note, Garnett may be suspended for pushing the referee in the altercation last night with Zaza Pachulia.

Lots of rumors today that D"Antoni's done in Phoenix. What would that mean for your mom? Would she follow him to another team? Would this mean no more courtside seats and going to practices? That would suck.

She works for Steve Kerr and the rest of the front office. So the only thing that would suck is if Sarver cleans house...but then again, he's the one who hired her in the first place. So I'm safe for a while...lol.

That's cool, I thought she worked directly for the coach.

Seems like heads will be rollin' out there.

Well...last year, before Kerr got there, Mike was the GM as well...so essentially she was working for him. Now Kerr is the GM...so she is his assistant. Basically she works for whomever is running the team. Nothing is official in the office according to mom...so we'll see what happens. I wouldn't be surprised either way really.

Those Hawks sure are pesky.

C's need to nip this in the bud friday at Atlanta.

I think everyone was expecting this to be 4 and out. I would LOVE for the Hawks to win Fri nite (I will be there again

) and force a game 7. The Hawks truly are 2 different teams when home and away. I have witnessed it first hand all year long. Very frustrating.
