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

they might have gotten to 50 last season if they had had Ausar full time.

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...

Waiting until Sunday is going to be painful.

the entire nba playoff schedule is painful.

7 game first round series are dumb.  not having same-series games every other day is excruciating.

The gap between games once you start is pretty painful for me as well, especially in the early rounds. 

I wouldn't mind seeing them go back to five games in the opening round.

5 game first round series probably just means more gaps in the schedule.

They want the Finals to finish up mid-June so that flows into the draft a week or two later, which flows into free agency a week later, which flows into summer league a week later.  Then the entire offseason is wrapped up before the 900 pound gorilla opens training camp at the end of July.

why would a five game series result in more gaps?

the real issue is the nba insisting almost all the games need to be scheduled so they dont conflict with each other.

Because the finals will be scheduled to end middle of June either way.  5 game series equals less possible games in the same time frame.

I don't mind the gaps the first round or two because I have other games to watch. Its the conference finals and finals where it bugs me.  You might not see a team play for 2-3 nights.  You almost forget there is a series going on.

Agreed, the later rounds are rough. I love the first couple round where there are multiple games on every night and I'm glued to my tv.
