New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Heat will be traveling to Milwaukee for round 1. Butler took over in the last 5 minutes and the Bulls couldn't respond. The Heat has that championship pedigree in their coach so they are not to be taken lightly.

 

[Steve Williams]

Tough loss for the Bulls as the Heat turned on the burners at the end . Butler excelled but the Bulls just didn’t have enough at the end

 

[Steve Williams]

I can’t see the heat beating a well rested Bucks team

It will be a huge upset if they do, Steve. Heat practically have the same lineup as they did last season when they went all the way to Game 7 with the Celtics, with that long missed 3 by Butler that would have carried them to the Finals. Bucks are playing fluid basketball, but Middleton is still a question mark with a knee injury suffered 2 weeks ago and has not been in practice. Again, he is a very important part of the Bucks, as we all know.

Here’s an interesting thought re the play in rounds

FWIW. in both EC and WC the 7 and 8 teams finished 7th and 8 th. So what was the purpose of the play in round

Good point. Silver apparently wants more revenues.

Cool observation!

I thought this as well as an old school NBA fan, but the league is purely entertainment and have started to enjoy the new format.

Finally management has something to say about Zion.......what a malingerer....

The Pelicans’ season ended Wednesday night with a loss to Oklahoma City in a Western Conference play-in matchup that was also the 46th straight game missed by Williamson since he injured his right hamstring on Jan. 2.

The day before the game, Williamson said he was no longer injured but added that he was not ready to play because he didn’t “feel like Zion. ”

So now he's not cleared to play even 3 on 3. That must be longest running pulled hamstring I've ever seen in the NBA. As I've read before, the management seems to treat his injuries with kids gloves. They are protecting their investment for the next 4 years. Yet, 2 key players played through injuries. Meaning they were cleared to play?

 

[Steve Williams]

Sixers easily go 1 up on Nets. Can’t see that series going more than 5-6

Big game up next. Celtics at home to Atlanta. I enjoy watching Trae Young play but the Celts should have no problem closing out that series

 

[Steve Williams]

and Boston goes buzzer to buzzer with an easy win over the Hawks

 

[Steve Williams]

Brown, with his mask and cut, was making everything and Celts had their 3 point guns shooting the lights out

 

[jadis]

Warriors playing great ball, as I expected, which is their playoff mode. Experience is on their side.

 

[jadis]

Kings have no superstar as a go to guy. It will be amazing if they can pull this off.

With Wiggins back they are playing like champions

 

[Steve Williams]

Kings are hanging around but the GSW are the champs and they ain't going down easily

 

[Steve Williams]

I would have bet money that the Cavs would have beaten the Knicks today but the upstart Knicks steal home court advantage.It has been a long time since a Knicks team have been anything meaningful

 

[Steve Williams]

What a game at Sacramento where the GSW gave up there big lead and there has been nothing but 3's from each team with many lead changes
Presently Kings are playing tough and lead 119-114 with 3:00 left in game
