Real Deal

Private league, so I can't see it. All good, though. Cincy in the Final Four? Whoa buddy...that's huge for you, if they make it there.

Is that bracket on ESPN's challenge? If so, link me...I'm curious to see it (or if you can link me to any of them, whatever the site). My best brackets are at 23 correct...sucks. I'm in the 90.9% on ESPN, but really, it's not great, lol. Four guys in ESPN's challenge have 30 correct. :o

OMG...we have a REAL POINT GUARD! Who was the last one...Nick the Quick? Yikes...that was in 1998, Del Harris era.

I had Florida beating them in a few brackets...but even if I did have them going far, it's great to see them lose.

HAHAHAHAHA. Have fun in the SEC, Mizzou. Shit-talkers. Perfect ending to their "run" in the Big 12.

Brown choking hard to end the game.

Cincy giving up too many offensive boards in crucial situations...two notables were on that missed dunk, then just now, on the missed layup and put-back. Game tied.

Nope, I've been diagnosed with March Madness. I don't see why the Clips settle for jumpers against the Suns. Maybe Gortat has turned into Alonzo Mourning (definitely a good defender, but come on...it's CP3 and Griffin).

Travel on Cincy there...he moved his pivot foot, pretty obvious. EDIT: No call. Pfft.

Oh damn, Texas...running the offense through Brown works for you? I never knew that!

Yancy Gates is a punk. I'll never forget him decking that dude earlier in the season.

That never made sense to me. What does the new CBA have in it that makes sense of Deron Williams opting out this summer? This is the only thing: And if that's what he's talking about...well, I'm worried if I'm a Nets fan, because that's telling me Deron Williams wants to be a free agent BEFORE a handful of teams are "prohibited" from getting him in a sign-and-trade situation.

Waiting for Texas to go on a little run here...but Cincy isn't having much trouble right now, especially down low.

Gordon Hayward seemed to be pissed that Butler wasn't in the tourney, so he tore up Minnesota for 26. ^_^ Didn't watch, but you won't win a game while turning the ball over 18 times, shooting 9-27 from three, shooting around 40% overall, and losing the battle of the boards...unless, of course, the opposing team lets you stick around, and you go into OT and choke.

I'm shocked to see the Clippers shooting just 12 free throws against a Suns defense that hasn't been that impressive, but yeah, you have to give credit to Shannon because he stepped up big, on both ends. Clips are 4-7 in their last 11 games (since the break). Lakers are 7-2. Huge, when you look out West and see how many games separates everyone from top to bottom in the playoff race.

Wizards shoot over 50% and pull away with a victory...didn't need Nick Young shooting 15-20 shots at a bad percentage to get it done, either. Against the Hornets, but hey...
