    So of the current western conference playoff teams, only Golden State, Portland, LAC, and San Antonio have not made significant trades.

    Rockets have added Corey Brewer and Josh Smith.

    Mavs added Rondo.

    Suns added Wright.

    Grizzlies added Jeff Green.

    Even the Thunder added Waiters, even though they aren't currently in the playoffs at the moment. Western conference arms race heating up.

    All these West teams are panicking. No faith in their teams.

    In other news, BIG game between Spurs and Suns tonight. If Suns win, Spurs fall to 8 seed. What if it comes down to SA vs OKC for 8th seed at the end of the season?

    No problem, GSW would beat either one in a 7-game series.

    The Hawks are continuing to roll right along as they are taking it to the Pistons that were supposed to be the hot team.

    Maybe the (l)eastern conference should just be contracted out of existence?

    Pretty cool. With less than 0.3 it has to be a tip. I guess that counts. LOL

    And that's why you let players work on trick shots.

    Roy Tarpley died. He was the same talent level as Drummond.

    Wow Detroit almost pulled that off. Down 5 without the ball with like 4 secs left and they still managed to get off a shot for the tie. I think they were down 20 at one point.

    Celtics sure are in tank mode. Trading away Green for a washed up Tayshaun Prince and a heavily protected 1st rounder. We could have done better than that.
