You bulls supporters always seem to lose your Internet connection whenever you drop a game . But I agree , rose is a freak

I also post regularly when we lose.

Was a good chance to get an extra break on Boston which would have been nice but glad they lost as well. They are really struggling ATM. Is the Kendrick Perkins trade coming back to bite them?

Matthews of portland 6 of 7 from downtown before half time

Was pleased with that, had $30 on Portland with a -5.5 start. No Iguodala for Philly helped.

The Bucks just beat the Knicks! I guess thats what happens when you play no defense.

Got Atlanta (v Detroit) into Oklahoma City -12.5 (v Toronto) into Dallas (v Golden State) today.

The Knicks only scored 9 pts in the first quarter to the Bucks 32.

The Raps just beat OKC as well in another upset.

At the start of the year the Bucks looked a #6-8 side at best in the East, assuming Bogut returned to full fitness. Then they had all those injuries and Bogut never got healthy and they looked like they might end the season down with the Cavs and Wolves in the no hoper stakes. And yet here they are now 1.5 games behind Indiana and looking a massive chance for that #8 spot they looked likely to take before a ball was bounced.

Funny to think how things go full circle sometimes, but also makes you wonder how many more wins, and how far up the pecking order they might have gone had they had a more normal season in terms of injuries.

[RoosterMarty]

The Bucks still aren't that great, I'd love to see Bogut ask for a transfer but I don't think he will do that. It must be hard for him to play in a side with chuckers like Jennings and Salmons. They probably would be looking good for 7 or 8 if they didn't have so many injuries though.

They can still make playoffs but the East really should just feature 7 teams this season as #8 will go in with a terrible record.

[Grahaml]

The #1 side will effectively be getting a bye anyway, so we can consider it a top 7 anyway.

The thing that might go against the side that finished 8th there is losing that lottery pick. We already saw once the Spurs just miss out and picked up Duncan. I bet no Spurs fan regrets just missing the playoffs that year. Even though this year's draft is reportedly a little thin, a top 10 pick would add an instant player to the roster, even off the bench.

I would hope whoever finishes numero uno in the east doesnt have this attitude, does any one need to be reminded of Dallas VS Golden State a couple years back !

That is Dallas for you, they always collapse in the playoffs.

Us fans of the game can have that attitude but Boston or Chicago definitely won't and will be keen to sweep so they can prepare for the next series.

Garnett doesnt take anything for granted and Mr Rose you would assume wouldn't as well. lets hope the top 4 advace first round so we can see some pretty special match ups in the 2nd !

Boozer in Tonights line up

[no_remorse28]

Knicks are up by 14 over Boston at Half Time.

[RoosterMarty]

One of the rare times I am going for the Knicks today.

Dwight has 25 pts 14 boards and 3 blocks near the end of the 3rd quarter vs the Cavs.

[mighty hounds]

MY God check out Rose' dunk in the first quarter!!

[no_remorse28]

Knicks 78-73 over boston with 7 minutes left, dont think the knicks will hold them off.
Bulls up by 20 over the Kings in the 3rd with 5 mins left.

D.Howard finished 28pts 18 reb 4 ast. 4 stl. 4 blks Thats a huge effort !! almost a 5 for 5 game, doesnt happen very often. Unless you the AK47 of Utah who has two of them lol

[RoosterMarty]

Shocking collapse by the Knicks. They lose by 10 with a 17-33 last quarter.

Of course they won't, they're professional sportsmen. Which is exactly why the #8 is no chance.
