    Me too, but I've got to say I hate Harden almost more than Westbrook now - all that flailing and flopping. And his defense is beyond atrocious - would Corey Brewer score 51 on anyone else?

    Pelicans beating Thunder. Clippers can still get 2 seed.

    Who has tiebreaker between Charlotte and Washington? If Wash does, that means Miami/Charlotte is set. Also set is Indiana/Atlanta and Portland/Houston.

    Evans has 41 points and a near triple double in a win vs Pelicans. OKC might blow the 2 seed.

    Wow, Memphis keeps missing FTs and Suns keep bricking shots. Phoenix doesn't deserve it. Sad.

    The Heat have one hell of an easy route to the ECF... Bobcats and Raps/Wiz. The Pacers are gonna lose in the 2nd round and get pushed by the Hawks IMO.

    #$#@# Was hoping Phoenix would make the playoffs? Is there still time for them to get in?

    Nope. Why did you want Phoenix in the playoffs?

    Unbelievable, but I don't miss him. He is a first round jinx.
    I agree with that.

    Anyone else rooting for the Nuggets right now? If they beat the Clips, our game tomorrow night is completely useless and both sides can relax.

    The first and last time I routed for the nuggets they blew a 17 pt lead and lost to the rockets. Never again.

    Brewer was guarded by other players for most of that but yeah Harden is very very bad at defense. Most Rockets fans just hope its an effort thing and he gets better in the playoffs, we've seen him have great defense on isolated possessions in the 4th quarter but he cant seem (or doesn't want) to do that for the entire game.

    Because they play like an NBA team should, all out, all the time. The Blazers play down to the level of their opponents.
    Seldom up.

    Griffin won't be playing tomorrow anyway since he picked up his 16th tech tonight. I don't think he deserved that, though. He went for the ball and happened to hit Mozgov across the face after actually hitting the ball.
