Would rather watch Pelicans in playoffs than a Durant & Ibaka-less Thunder anyway.

I agree.
Both teams get to play Minnesota. OKC will have to beat Portland tomorrow and hope for SAS to beat Pelicans.

With the way the Spurs have been playing I think the matchup I want to see happen the most in the playoffs is Warriors/Spurs. It's crazy to think the Spurs have snuck into the 2 seed out of no where, like usual, they are the forgotten team.
Rockets/Blazers would be a lot of fun too if it's anything like last years 1st round matchup.

The Heat currently have the 10th-worst record in the NBA. Let's assume that it stays that way, as the best they can do it tie Indiana, Brooklyn or Utah (not sure about the tiebreakers).
Will that mean that unless one of the 11-14 worst teams gets a top-3 pick, that the Heat would do no worse than the 10th pick?
Curious because the Heat's pick is top-10 protected.

You have it right. The only way they could move down would be for a team behind them to jump into the top 3. Looking at the odds, there's about an 87% chance they'd stay in the 10 spot and about 9% chance they'd move down a day roughly 4% chance they move into the top 3.

I'm shocked the league rescinded Westbrook's technical. Shocked!!

Too bad Noah couldn't sit out more for the Bulls. Their 3 best bigs would actually get the playing time they deserve. Thibs has been too kind 'limiting' Noah's minutes this year.

Matthews out, Afflalo down, Batum down, McCollum down. Bad time to run out of wings.
If there's a team in the West you want to play right now, it's definitely them.

Who would have thought Boston would have made the playoffs? I'm not sure it benefits them long term being a 1-and-done playoff team now, but Stevens has done a great job. Isaiah Thomas was a tremendous pickup. Bright side is they're owning Brooklyn's 1st round picks (certainly won't be a good pick) for next several years.

Very big game for the Raptors tonight if they want that 4 seed.

Yep. Bulls did them a big favor last night. Hopefully the Raps can #### the bed tonight
Who are Bulls fans wanting? Bucks/Cavs or Wiz/Hawks?

As a Cavs fan I would prefer Raps as the 3 seed. Hope the Pacers snag the 8 and make the Hawks work a little in the first round.Yep. Bulls did them a big favor last night. Hopefully the Raps can #### the bed tonight

I don't think the Pacers give any resistance to the Hawks. Hawks have beat them by an average of 15 points in 3 games this year (closest game being 102-92. Pacers just don't have the offence to keep up.

go Heat! and thank you Brooklyn.
And who do the Heat play in the final game? Los Sixers.
So that's a fait accompli. Can the Magic actually beat the Nets, though?
If they do and the Knicks win their final game, Sixers are tied for 2nd-worst record and Hinkie pops the champagne.

I think the Bulls need the 3 seed because for whatever reason, they do not match up well with the Bullets and could lose to them in the first round again.

If the Bulls are hell bent on playing Noah 30 or more MPG, they'll probably lose to Wizards again. This is a better team with Noah either playing limited minutes or not at all. Their spacing and offense is so much more crisp w/o Noah. And their defense doesn't suffer (unless you want to play under the notion Noah is playing anywhere close to the level defensively of last year). No Noah gives Butler/Rose more space to drive to the bucket and Pau more freedom to operate on the block.Helping matters he's been the worst of their 4 bigs this year.
Watching the Bulls play pick and roll with Noah (or Noah 10+ feet from the hoop) is so ####### tiresome. The guy is zero threat off the roll cuz he ####### cant shoot. His ice skate looking act would be better off the bench in lesser minutes. Hopefully Thibs will take under consideration how the Bulls offense flowed last night w/o Noah. They lose little to nothing defensively from other options to 2014-15 Noah & gain a ####load more versatility offensively.

Kawhi Leonard for George Hill just looks worse and worse for the Pacers all the time.
Mister CIA

Looking over the 2011 draft, I see far more regrettable decisions than the Pacers. Also, I think Pop (and the surrounding Spurs cast) played a significant roll in Kawhi's development.
It's not like the Pacers passed on Amare Stoudemire and Dwayne Wade in back to back drafts. ... Hi Denver!

A lot of guys can hit shots in practice. But can he make that shot in a game with a defender in his face? My guess is no.

Question for our cajun friends: is there any hype around this game in New Orleans tonight? Please say yes. Regular season doesn't get much better than this; even if the stakes are just the right to get swept by the Warriors, playoff basketball is fun as hell.

Watched GSW @ NO last week and I thought the NO crowd was great. They were really into it. I'm sure it'll be a playoff atmosphere tonight.

Blazers season fell apart when Wes Matthews went down with a season ending achilles injury. His replacement (Afflalo) is out for now, Batum is banged up, Kaman has a back injury and LA has been battling his own injuries. Pretty sure I saw Tommy Frazier out there playing for Portland Monday night. Houston will get a Blazers' team that's hobbling into the playoffs and if I had to describe the atmosphere around the city surrounding the playoffs in a word, it would be "meh".
Of course, that's EXACTLY what we want you Rockets to believe!
