Nets over Celtics- still hard to fathom.
There's no shame in losing to Denver or Cleveland, but to the Nyets? Oy.

And thus the final nail in the coffin, of the season that went south rather quickly!
Bill.....means nothing now. Just like having a great record during the regular season, come playoff time.....it won't really matter who they lost to.
I appreciate what you're saying, but this team has sleepwalked since that impressive win in Orlando on Christmas Day. They have one and done written all over them come playoff time!
And today they lose to the NETS at HOME!!!!
Anybody know why FS Detroit isn't carrying the Pistons/Warriors game tonight???? CSN Bay Area is.
Bill.....you know full well that in a one game situation...anything can happen. You can give the NYets 15 games against Boston and I doubt they win 2....much less beat Boston 4 out of 7. ;-)
Right now, the 5 best NBA teams are, in no particular order, Cavs, Lakers, Nuggets, Magic, Mavericks
....and that is great and all. BUT, when the REAL season starts....the playoffs...what was done during the regular season will almost mean nothing.
Mavs have won 7 in a row.
Could they wreak some havoc in the West playoffs? They look scary good since they got Butler.

The injury to Shaq is obviously a huge blow to the team.
The team hasn't officially given a timeline as to how long he'll be out, but a typical recovery from thumb surgery is 4-6 weeks. That means he'll most likely be out for the remainder of the regular season, but will be able to return for the playoffs. The good news is that he can still run, be involved in light practice and stay in shape until he's ready to play again.
And make no bones about it, the Cavs got Shaq for two reasons: To square off against Dwight Howard and the Magic & to counter one of the bigs on the LA Lakers or whoever comes out of the West. There's not another team we can't beat in the East without Shaq. As long as he's back for such a series in the playoffs, if we make it that far, we'll be just fine.
In the meantime, there will be plenty of minutes for all the bench players. For those who were complaining about certain players not getting enough minutes, there will now be plenty of minutes to go around now. You can never have enough depth and fortunately for the Cavs, we are DEEP. Time for Leon Powe to step up.

Tonight, the Nuggets play the Suns.
These are the NBA's two highest-scoring teams.
Over/under: 140 combined points?

Is anyone watching this Cavs vs. Knicks game? The Cavs are up by 34 (87-53) early in the 3rd!!!
Shaq who? Cavs up by 42, and there's still a quarter yet to play! The Knickerbockers should be ashamed of themselves!
Last I checked, the score of that game was 105-61.
(This is exhibit A of why LeBron shouldn't touch the Knicks with a 100-foot pole)

Final score- 124-93.
Now it's 4 in a row under Jamison.
(I was a tad surprised LeBron had 22 in the game- last time these teams played, he had 23 in one quarter. When I heard about the score in the first half and third quarter, I thought we'd see a reenactment)

The Cavs were up by 49 at one point in the 4th before the D-Leagures came off the bench. As for LeBron, he reeled his game in after the 1st quarter where he had 13 points and they realized the game was going to be a blow-out. Plus, he didn't even play the majority of the second half. Still, not too shabby of a line considering this was basically thru 2 quarters: 22 pts, 7 reb, 7 ast, 2 blk, 2 stl
From what I see, the Knicks have a glaring issue and it's not just lack of talent. They run down the court and jack up a quick shot. They don't even care about getting the rebound or playing defense on the other end. Their entire philosophy is based on taking and making more shots than their opponent. As long as they keep this mentality, they will never be successful in this league.
LeBron James Files Application for Jersey Number Change
Is LeBron tipping his hand as to say he's staying in Cleveland? Players who don't change teams have to apply to change their number in March before the previous season. If he were to go to a new team, he wouldn't have to file an application.
