NBA

[Grahaml]

What Im seeing in the NBA

- Bulls cant score when Rose cant shoot (5/21FG..Bulls 80 pts), but Noah is getting back to his VITAL best
- Spurs get 50 as they continue to rest players..Duncan 16pts, 6 ast, 4 reb, 3 blocks...have a seat after only 23 min..Hill and Neal only players over 28 min
- Washington outscore GSW by 13 in the fourth but still lose..why can they not shoot (40% again)
- Boston win easily...BUT the five subs are +/- -41..cant win in post season with that
- Twolves win their 5th game on the road (5-20) behind the effort of....K-LOVE...20pts (7/13FG) and 20 reb
- New Orleans continue to suck...remember they were good this season...it seems sooooo long ago, they are now 14-19 on the road after getting smashed 88-107 by NY
- Durant rolled an ankle, but the Thunder smashed Indiana 113-89
- After all these years, mayve TEAM is what will bring success to Denver, as 7 players score in double figures in 40pt win over the Bobcats
- PATTY MILLS, follows on from his 8pt game with 14pts (6/8FG), 3 ast, 1 ste, 0 TO in 14 min against Sacramento (last 4 games 13/21 8ppg)
- Normal night for the Clippers...Griffin has a big game and they lose...NO NO NO, Griffin has a big night (AND GETS HELP..Kaman 21 pts, 9 reb in 23 min) and they WIN

1: Will change when Shaq gets healthy. If not, Boston will struggle.
2: New Orleans were over achieving right from the start, going back to where they belong.
3: Good to see him going well. Seems like he belongs at the level. Fingers crossed he gets a starting gig somewhere in the next few years.

Think he really could do it...is starting to select his shot more, rather than take what is on offer, and his TO are way down...GO PATTY

[Grahaml]

Early on he seemed more worried about turnovers and missed shots and so all he did in the end was bring the ball down, give it to someone else and not really get involved. Seems to be taking more responsibility. Looking forward to the day he gets to run the offense for 30 minutes in a game.

Any coincidence that the bulls blow a big lead and loose and tw rooster having nothing to say ?

Im still wearing my Rose Jersey....nothing to worry about here thanks

You guys are 15-14 on the road and theres nothing to worry about
Kyle Korver hits 2/3 3pt FG but cannot get another shot in 18 min and theres nothing to worry about

Nothing to worry about for the Heat and the Celtics, as the "East Elite"

The Heat struggle to beat top teams and win close games plus the Bulls are 2-0 against them. If you have question marks over the Bulls (which I will admit there are) then they need to be marked next to Miami and their Big 2.5.

[no_remorse28]

I just love the game. I don't tend to support one team like I do in footy. I'll just usually enjoy the matchups, tactics and spectacle of the whole game. If I follow anything it's usually just a player or a few players I particularly like.

Im in the exact same boat. Although I have always favoured the Magic, I dont consider them my team, would like to see them beat the heat today, wonder if the crowd will be as intense as against New York

I'd be more worried about Miami's losing record against teams above 500 and get ur hand off it the Bulls are part of that elite group

[RoosterMarty]

Orlando getting bent over right now. Their trades did not help at all and they are still treading water in the East.

Maybe I spoke too soon? Orlando only 9 down at the final break.

Back to 3 now with back to back J Rich 3s and D Wade going 0/2 from the line. The NBA really is quite amazing.

[Grahaml]

Miami really haven't synched at all this season. They've managed to beat most teams on the pure talent of their better players and will always be a threat against the best teams for the same reason. But for too long they rely on James and Wade to make tough plays. They need a couple other guys to make regular contributions. Bibby could be one, but will need time to adjust. If Miami get that flow going then I think they're the best team going around, but if they can't then their probably going to be a conference finalist only at best.

They can't beat teams with winning records yet won't make conference finals

[Johno6]

your never out of the NBA no matter what the score lione it seems lately
as long as u have enough time.

seen so many large half time deficits come back to win.

just devestated i had a go at miami -5 today... wish i went the half time line.

when magic hit 15 3's to 2 or something at this stage... hard to win

[RoosterMarty]

Orlando getting bent over right now. Their trades did not help at all and they are still treading water in the East.

Orlando by 5 thanks to a 16-2 run to start the 4th.

7 pts up now.

Orlando win by 3, what a collapse by Miami.

If i remember correctly the Lakers were not so great against top teams last year but won it all, it aint over till the end, Playoffs are such a different ball game !

So what round are you predicting they'll go out? Let's see you make a prediction rather than just make outlandish statements all the time.

[Grahaml]

Big loss for Miami. These are the games you want to make statements. Orlando are still in the frame for the conference finals, so they would be feeling pretty good about themselves now.

Miami are looking more and more like if you can shut down James (which the good teams can) then you beat the Heat as nobody else seems capable of contributing enough.

I agree with this! The Nugs really should win, they are better and their bench is deeper. They are backing up but had such a cruisy win yesterday that it shouldn't really matter.

They were $2.20 against the Jazz... I thought they'd be favourites!

I had Orlando +10 and Denver +10 multi-ed and played it safe by taking the Denver line. They are only underdogs because it is in Utah.. they really should have been favourites today I reckon.

[Grahaml]

Almost on of the most incredible finishes ever. Nuggets up by 5, Jazz drain a 3 pointer with 1.2 second left. Martin playing games on the in-bound pass fumbles it and Kirilenko takes possession right under the basket! Took a dribble and went for the layin for OT, missed (wouldn't have counted though, replay showed shot was late) but gee they actually had a chance at hitting a shot if he turns and shoots instead of dribbles.
