    Memphis beat injured Clippers and OKC teams and then got swept by a healthy Spurs team. Dallas didn't scare anyone in 2011 either and they won the title. Spurs should beat them but the Mavericks are a very good team.

    Only two NBA teams EVER were sub-.500 in final 25 games & won it all: '58 Hawks & '95 Rockets. 2014 Heat/Pacers both sub-.500 over final 25

    What a walking database! You processed all games in NBA history in your mind, while working out and whistling Dixie. Nice.

    The crowd outside of the arena looks almost as big as those who got inside for tickets. Weren't people just complaining about the cost of playoff tickets in Toronto? Looks like they knew what they were doing.

    Lowry flops on 2 straight defensive possessions, and gets the call on the second one. I hate that shit.

    On the plane heading down to Houston........ following this game on GameCast and twitter. Why is everybody tweeting about the PA announcer? Is he going crazy?

    Shot clocks won't work. They are having to keep 24 second clock on a stop watch and pa announcer call out "10,5,4,3,2,1,horn"

    Crazy right?

    This is where it pays off to add guys like Pierce and Garnett. They might not be great during the season, but the Nets have some clutch players on that roster. I wouldn't want to face them.
