The Heat actually have a team that could go deep into the playoffs if not for those damn injuries all year long. Now it's not a lock they'll make the playoffs this year.

What a way for the Heat to finish their season. The loser of tonight's game is looking at a much better chance of getting into the Draft lottery. Coach Spo decided to cancel practice when the Heat were eliminated last night.
So tonight's game boils down to "you take the ball, no you take it".

If Sixers lose and the Knicks win they end up tied and the Sixers lottery chances go up. Let's go Heat.Rodster wrote:What a way for the Heat to finish their season.

Heat win as well as the Nets so that gives Miami a 91% chance of getting the No. 10 lottery seed. Still don't understand how the lottery seeds work but hey count me in if Miami can keep their pick. I think if they keep this years 1st rd pick they have to give the Sixers their next years 1st rd pick, regardless. Supposedly this years draft is pretty deep for talent.
Re: NBA Season 2014-15
I'm interested to see if the Warriors will be one of those teams that are great in the regular season but can't tuff it out in the playoffs. The only threat I see them having is the Spurs.
Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Warriors come back from 20 down in the 4th! damn.
Bulls 2 OT.
Wouldn't be surprised if both teams end up in the finals.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Rose looks like Rose, and that's a VERY good thing for Bulls' fans. Should also scare Blatt, LeBron and Co. a bit, but I still think Cleveland is the favorite to emerge in the East.Inuyasha wrote:Warriors come back from 20 down in the 4th! damn.

Curry's three to send the game into OT was sick. Corner, off-balance, two guys in his face.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
While the Cavs are the favorites going to the Finals you have the Bulls and Hawks in the way of that. The West still has the best teams.
Re: NBA Season 2014-15
DRose! What a finish!
Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Shades of 2012 for Bron Bron. Looks like he'll have to carry his team the rest of the series. I still think the Cavs will win.
Re: NBA Season 2014-15
The Cavs are potentially looking at a 3-1 games hole to the Bulls.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Decided to use the wife's corporate tickets for game 4 of the Clips and Rockets...what a joke of a game. 2 hours to get to halftime, 3 hours to get to the end of the 3rd quarter. Jordan has the record for FT attempts by a Clipper BEFORE halftime. Hack a "Jordan" really did the Rockets a lot of good losing by 30. Yeah, keep it up guys. Ruin the game for the fans...AND give yourself no chance to win. Good strategy.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
No worries, you won't be seeing the Rockets in LA again and my guess is they will be done and dusted in game 5. Gutless, defenseless team with lots of talented individuals, but notice there are 3 "i's" in individual and none in TEAM.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Don't I look like a dumbass today.....did not see the Rockets coming back from 2-1 nor 3-1. I don't see them beating GS, but after this series, it is not impossible. Not likely, but not impossible.......DivotMaker wrote:No worries, you won't be seeing the Rockets in LA again and my guess is they will be done and dusted in game 5.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Luckily for you Doc Rivers is a pretty terrible coach. He gets all this credit for the Celtics championship but other than lucking into three superstars in their prime he's always been disappointing.DivotMaker wrote:Don't I look like a dumbass today.....did not see the Rockets coming back from 2-1 nor 3-1.

Eerily the Clips remind me of the mid 2000 Suns teams. Dynamic...athletic...offensive juggernauts that just can't get it done In the playoffs with subpar benches and a little bad luck. And overrated coaches that think they can be a GM too. Eerily similar.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
IIRC, wasn't Phoenix in 2006 the last team to lose a 3-1 series advantage? I think you are on to something....McHale isn't much better, but he made some good moves in game 6 (benching Harden) that looks really good now. Houston has not beaten GS once this season if I remember correctly, so I don't like their chances to advance unless they miraculously learn to play defense in the next 4 + games.......dbdynsty25 wrote:Luckily for you Doc Rivers is a pretty terrible coach.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
The legendary Doc Rivers has won one more playoff series in two seasons with the Clippers than the beleaguered Vinny del Negro did in his two years in the playoffs with the franchise. Something to chew on ...
Rivers is the most overrated coach in the NBA. He's also a TERRIBLE GM. Look at that team's bench past Jamal Crawford. Pitiful.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Owners should not allow the HC to wear double hats for several reasons. Thankfully the NFL has begun moving away from that trend.
Re: NBA Season 2014-15
My Sixers got the #3. Pretty much guarantees eithe Russell or Mudiay. Love that the Knicks didn't get top 3
. Next year my Sixers are looking at their own pick plus possibly the Lakers, Heat and Thunder.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Karma for the NBA for fixing the first lottery in 1985 so Ewing could go to the Knicks. Winslow probably will be the best player available for the Knicks, and they don't need him with Melo already in the lineup.
My team is DOOMED.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
Miami got the #10 pick. Good draft this year so we should have a shot at one of the available forwards like Stanley Johnson, Willie Cauley-Stein, Trey Lyles, Frank Kaminsky, Sam Dekker, Kelly Oubre.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
The Timberwolves look to be sporting the last three #1 overalls next season, and probably still won't make the playoffs. But they should be fun to watch. Wiggins is the real deal. they just need to surround him with some real talent.

Re: NBA Season 2014-15
They don't REALLY have the past two #1's. The Sixers got Noel and Embiid who would've been the #1's the past two drafts if it weren't for injuries.Aristo wrote:The Timberwolves look to be sporting the last three #1 overalls next season, and probably still won't make the playoffs.
