    Wolves playing without Love or Martin and they led the Rockets by 15. Rockets have come back but Brewer has 20 points and there are 9 minutes left in first half.

    59-42 Miami. The Heat colorman has a Mafia accent. Their play by play man has long ago thrown out his voice. It is permanently shot.

    16 straight Heat points, Indiana now down 19. I'm switching to the Blazer game, now starting.

    I think Pacers might lose in the first round. They're awful.

    Houston up 63-59 at halftime against a Minnesota team playing without Kevin Love (and Kevin Martin, of course).

    No Duncan and no Ginobili tonight for the Spurs at home against the Suns.

    Last night, both played in a win at Dallas. I'm not sure what to make of it, but PHX could take this as a slight in Round One.

    Maybe not, but they're up 2 in the 3rd quarter.

    Drummond with 26 points and 26 rebounds in a loss (+1)

    Noah gets the win with 6 points/12 rebounds/10 assists (+18)

    Houston gave up 30/15 to Foye last game. Without Howard, they are not a good team.

    As bad as portland has looked vs opponents they should best, Houston has looked worse. Granted they don't have Howard or Beverly, but they aren't going into the playoffs with any more confidence than portland. If they keep dropping games it could be disastrous. If Houston slips to the 5 seed the blazers would be sitting better than I could have ever hoped for.

    Spurs beat PHX.

    The 8th spot is so up for grabs right now...

    Sat behind a dude at the 2012 draft party who was a pelicans fan. Didn't think I had anything in common with the dude, guess I do now.

    Every blazers fan just became a pelicans fan.

    Gonna be tough without Davis though...

    Corey Brewer with 51 points on Houston tonight. Talk about a team in disarray. Can Howard and Beverley mean that much to that team?

    Excellent point. You don't think it would have that much of an effect. Better inside presence but let's be honest, asik might be the best backup center in the nba...they shouldn't have that big of a drop off with him over Howard. And Lin as well... Worse defender but by no means bad.

    Wow. What an amazing 24 hours of basketball. First Mozgov goes off for 93/29 and now Drummond and Brewer go off. And Noah too. This is fun.
