Right now I think Indiana has a slight advantage but it is still pretty close to a toss up. 2 1/2 months from now things might be different. Injuries can be a big factor. The playoffs dont start until after the Derby preps are finished.

I think the legend Shane Battier read you're blatant disrespect of him. He used the motivation for his best quarter of the year. Playing both ways too. Remember back in the day Battier could have went #1 overall coming out of Duke?

They tried against the Hawks on Monday but were home and just a lot better. Might be tougher on the road against a hot team. This is also the 5th road game of a 7 game stretch where 6 are on the road.

Tonight was the stinker.

Too bad Mike Conley is going to miss some time with a sprained ankle. Monday's Memphis-OKC game should be a good one. Two of the hottest teams in the league...both 9-1 over their last 10. Grizzlies just can't seem to stay healthy.

Snakebit. Virtually every top PG in the league has been hurt at some point this year. Ray Felton as well...

Am I remembering wrong? Sure seems like the NBA used to televise one or two games nationally on Super Bowl Sunday.

Felton might be a top 17 point guard.

Yeah NBC used to have a SB day game when they had the NBA

Felton is the worst PG in the league that actually plays. He isnt even the best on his own team.

You are right. It usually involved the Bulls, Lakers, Celtics had prop bets with total points of Jordan, Kobe etc.....

[Duvalier]

The Wizards over .500 for the first time since 2009...and that was only when they started the 09' season 2-1. With John Wall and Bradley Beal...Washington has a dynamic young backcourt to build around. I'd still love to see Greg Monroe end up there.

I believe they have beat Portland, Miami and OKC at home this year.

They're playing really good right now. Won at both Phoenix and Golden State in the past week or so also...still inconsistent with a loss to the Jazz and another bad team recently but they are a vastly improved team this year.

Agree.

[knickslions2]

Mike Woodson watch should start now after that loss.

Seeing lots of improvement from Anthony Bennett. At least Brown is giving him some meaningful minutes. 11 points last night, 4 for 4 FT, 1 for 2 from 3.

Brown is a joke. That team should at worst be in the 45-37 range. They have talent at every position.

Thompson, Irving and the newly acquired Deng...you can keep the rest.

lol. Byron Scott coached pretty much the same team last year and went 24-58. The talent on the Cavs is fair at best. In fact they only have 2 players that would start on a legit playoff team. Where is all this talent?
