Hawks and Bobcats beat Pacers and Bucks!!!!!! Wow, this was really unexpected. Anyways, those two teams saved our @sses for the post-season. Both Indy and Milwaukee have clinched playoff berths already, but we're back at the 5th seed. All we need to do is win Sunday with a healthy Caron Butler against the Cavs. Then we'll clinch a playoff berth (hopefully). My God, the East is so pathetic.

How is that pathetic? The Hawks have shown many signs this year that they could be a good team. Those two wins aren't anything. They also have a win over Detroit, LA Lakers and Miami. I think if this team signed a big name next year and get a better coach they would be a playoff team.

Maybe...Maybe not. How would you know that? Chris Paul is a good player but that doesn't mean they would have been a better team if they had him. It just be one other guy and as you know one guy doesn't really change anything unless it's Steve Nash.
Look at the records of the teams behind Cleveland...If they draft Paul I think they would be greatly improved and a .500 team..Which, sadly, is enough for 5th in the East..
