Ah yes, our ladder position. That makes your loss much less embarra---oh...

Man, I'd really like to have an Ore---oh...

Pelicans! :w00t: :w00t:

Spurs went from the 2 to the 6 seed just like that. Wow. Everyone out west but Dallas, Portland, and New Orleans has a legit shot. Going to be a crazy first round.

With Ibaka also out the whole season, I'm not that sad that we didn't reach the play-offs, now if we can hold this team together, or at least, Augustin and Kanter and Durant and Ibaka become healty then I'm really looking forward to next season!

Also, Scott Brooks might be getting fired.

The Front Office will decide right after they ask Kevin Durant what he would like them to do.

Clifford plays awful Maxiell and decadent Marvin Williams the whole season when Vonleh clearly showed in the few minutes he got that right now he's better than both, his biggest assets (setting up a good defense, making his team king of rebounding) were our biggest flaws in some games, without mentioning the clueless offensive end that basically relied on someone stepping up and making magic. Add that to a bunch of injuries and it's 2015 Charlotte Hornets for you.

As a Nets fan, if we steal one game I'd be surprised. This is the worst matchup for us by far, I would've rather faced Cleveland than Atlanta tbh.

Now if Scott Brooks gets fired the Nets should be all over that. I'm not sure what kind of system they run but it literally can't be worse than the non-coaching Lionel Hollins has been doing all year long. How do you not have set plays or a rotation down by playoff time? I'm not sure how he won down in Memphis because he seems inept to say the least. I'd rather have PJ or Avery back.

Scott Brooks' entire thing is non-coaching. He ran the same starting lineup for YEARS.

[Tyrone]

Lou Williams is coming through big time.

EDIT: Impressed with how the Pelicans played in the 4th. Davis, Cole and Pondexter all played quite well, and hopefully they can capitalize and take the next game or at least 1 at home.

There is nothing I like about Mark Jackson, I really wish he'd fuck off.

[Your Mom]

This game is going to end in the 130's if this keeps up!

[gunnar hendershow]

Paul Pierce really likes playing well against Toronto.

[gunnar hendershow]

Reggie Miller does puns worse than EWB!

This season I've been watching some more Golden State, but man I just fucking love Green. Last night he was amazing again!

Budenholzer winning Coach of the Year makes me so happy. While Kerr did a great job, he had way more to work with, while Budenholzer turned the Hawks' potential up to crazy highs this season.

Regardless of what goes down in the playoffs, the Hawks were better than anyone expected. This town is more excited about basketball than in probably 20 years.

[Meacon Keaton]

That's because they've been beaten down into the ground thanks to football. Any success saves them all from the noose.

[gunnar hendershow]

Coach Bud deserved it over Kerr. All Kerr did for me was show how bad a coach Mark Jackson is. There was all this talent last year (except Green and Barnes have had big improvement) but Jackson did nothing with it. Coach Bud did get Horford back but he still coached the team like Spurs East.

Hopefully at least Curry wins MVP since it's unlikely Green wins DPOY or MIP.
