The knicks beat the spurs without the spurs resting all their starters? What in the......
 
I also just watched Kobe Bryant's Muse documentary and I must say it was very good.
 
Knicks and the Timberwolves are having awesome seasons...

Even with Carmelo, they weren't doing well. He made a stupid decision to stay with them.

It's smart to me, at least financially. His only other logical option was the bulls, and he wouldn't fit there at all with his style of play.

Sucks to see my knicks doing bad though. I hope Phil Jackson turns them around in the off season.

The thing is, he's getting old, and it was obvious the Knicks aren't title contenders, especially after losing J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert. I would've thought he would have taken a little less money, and a better opportunity at winning, but I guess I was wrong.

Dam man I was really hoping Durant would come back but looks like his season is done and along with him OKC even though Westbrook is playing the best basket-ball of his life.

They won't be contenders for a while indefinitely. It's going to be a long process if he sticks to the triangle offense. He would then have to find quality players that are accessible to that type of offense, and if they fail, they're pretty fucked. Are you saying Phil Jackson is old? That really has no effect on their success.

I hope the heat keep a lock on the 7th seed. I would love to see a cavs vs heat matchup in the first round.

-_- Already knew this would happen Raptors don't want the 3rd seed the organization is fairly confident they can make the second round via beating the Wizards and looking for an Atlanta match up in the second round instead of Cleveland.

I also know for a fact the Bulls worst nightmare is a Wizards match up Washington has the Bulls number.

If we really wanted to win Kyle Lowry wouldn't be resting against Chicago both times we played them this week and last.

It's going to end like this.

1.Atlanta(se)
2.Cleveland(c)
3.Chicago
4.Toronto(a)
5.Washington
6.Milwaukee
7.Miami
8.Who ever wants it the most

Oh man. Hope Rockets don't lose Beverly. This could be trouble in a west that is loaded in that position

Cleveland wins easy against the Warriors? Did I miss something here? Are you talking about the same Golden State Warriors that have only lost one game at Oracles Arena to an Eastern Conference opponent throughout the entire season?

Getting to the finals will be a tough journey for Golden State but if they manage it there home court advantage will win them the series against ANY East challenger.

The warriors are tailor made for the cavs. The cavs dominant them on the inside (rebounds). Bogut is still questionable, and is a liability since he is excessively injury prone. I do not doubt that he will be 100% going through the west, even with rest days. Perimeter shooting can't win championships in this era. Who is guarding lebron and Kyrie? Draymond green and Stephen Curry? That's honestly comical.

Golden States stats are to good superior ball movement best offense in the NBA better then average defense and home court advantage more then enough to beat Lebron.
 

Same with the #1 seed pacers for last year. The playoffs are a completely different atmosphere than the regular season, which is why any team from the 1st to 5th seed have a chance at winning it all, it's as simple at that. I don't think golden state can beat the spurs indefinitely, but I do hope they win, because they would be the easier matchup for Cleveland without a doubt.
