Thanks to @Tigeraholic1 for doing the game threads all year.

Duren is out but everyone else seems to be playing.  A little shocked by that to be honest.  Across the league, most people who are not playing for seeding or to qualify for post season awards is not playing today.

The 9/10 game is locked, only who is hosting remains to be determined.  Since Charlotte just needs a W to host, they probably get it since all the Knicks are out.

CLE-ATL will be an interesting series.

Atlanta will beat Cleveland. I don't want any part of the Hawks.

I didn't see a 60 win season coming. Even with all the injuries, we just kept winning. The worse loss all season, IMO, was the loss to the Nets when they came back in the last few minutes. That stunk. But so many close game wins this season made it a very special year. 60 wins...

From 14 wins to 60 in two seasons - without getting a superstar -  that's incredible.    J.B. has to get coach of the year this year.   Should have had it last year.

Agreed. Last night, Blaha said, in his opinion, last year was more impressive going from 14 to 44 wins. While I think 60 wins in crazy impressive, I'll defer to George's opinion. 50 years doing games give him a lot of credibility. I remember listening to him on the radio when I was a teenager...and I'm 66 now. Lol

Remember the "Going to Work" starting 5? I remember they started an incredible number of games in a row together. We'll never see that again...
