I honestly do not know what the Jazz can look forward to next season given how bad their team is right now.

Good win by the Bucks. I have no idea what Skiles is doing with Corey Maggette though, one game he could be playing 20 minutes and the next a DNP. I know Delfino was out, but Maggette should at least be in the rotation for this Bucks squad that is lacking in scoring.

This Memphis team is scary. I don't think any team will want to see them in the playoffs.

This game is going to come down to whether JR Smith can catch fire. If he can, the Nuggets should get a double-digit win. If he misfires like Jason Terry did against the Lakers a few days ago, then this could come down to the wire.

Well, by joining a winning team, most of the time you are not the focus of the team and hence, in order for the rookie to gain playing time, he has to know his role and blend in the system rather than the system changing for him. Other than that, I don't think playing on a losing team matter at all, unless the rookie develop a habit to not care about the games any more and stop playing to the full 100%.

Isn't it too late to register him for the playoff roster anyway?

Really old topic, but the makers of the game just released a demo which pretty much allow you to play the full game. The only catch is that you can only level up to level 8 but if you don't really care about levelling up and just want to kill some other dudes, you might be interested.

I am guessing this was due to him shoving Terry Stotts and not because he pushed Jason Terry.

You can add Nick Young and Trevor Booker to that core too. Add another stud from this year's draft and the talent level of the team is staggering.

Insert 1999 Knicks picture here.

Tony Allen is really doing well lately, all of the playoffs teams (except possibly New Orleans) in the West have the ability to win a series.

I like this kid, but he definitely need to make better shot selections. That comes with experience so I would not be surprise to see him be a decent starter.

It is true. This is just the way it is.

Congrats to the Worm on getting his jersey retired.

FIFA 11 whenever I get free time and one game of 2K11 per week. I can't really play any RPG/story-orientated games as I know I will get addicted to it and play non-stop.

I agree with trading Al for possibly a good C and a good passing PG, someone to the style of Eric Maynor who they traded away to OKC. I like Devin Harris and all, but he is a sixth man on a great team.

Thunder, they are all set in practically every position.

Gordon Hayward and Jimmer...that's like Jeff Hornacek x 2. I can't say I am not excited by that potential pairing.

McGee has been playing great for the past 10 games (14-11) and he's got 11 points and 13 rebounds right now.

Turnovers and poor D in the 1st half killed the game off for us, unfortunately.

It's pretty clear that Arenas is no longer his old Agent-Zero self, but no one would predict that he would be this bad, especially in an environment where most of your shots are freed up by guys double-teaming Dwight leaving you wide open. Which begs the question...what is wrong with Gil? He is averaging 7.5 points for March and his FG% is in the low 30s.

If Memphis continues to be the 8th seed and New Orleans the 7th, I can definitely see the Spurs trying to get the 2nd seed instead. However, I am guessing this is just Pop wanting to give his main guys some rest and perhaps, develop some of the young guys to enable them to be ready for the playoffs this season. EDIT: ESPN claim that McDyess has a "sore back" while Tony Parker has a "bruised patella"

The Lakers have always struggled in the Rose Garden and having Gerald Wallace and LaMarcus Aldridge alongside guys like Wes Matthews, Andre MIller and Brandon Roy gives Portland a chance to win at any series. I would still put Thunder as the team most threatening to the Lakers, however.

Surprisingly enough, this game ain't bad. Bobcats definitely need another scorer though, they got Matt Carroll running off curls as one of their primary weapons.
