Its Knicks

lol sorry. Only had one cup coffee so far. Trying to wake up listening to #picknpop

OKC - 90
SAS - 80

Up by as many as 22 points, the Thunder go into San Antonio and beat up the new-look spurs. Durant had 27 and Ibaka finished with 19 and 10

OKC - 85
CHI - 77

One night after being embarrassed by the Knicks on the road, the Thunder go into the United Center and play inspired defense in a convincing win over the suddenly reeling Chicago Bulls. These 2 wins put the Thunder 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers for the top seed in the west.

Timberwolves 90
Hawks 80
Balanced led the Wolves past the Hawks as 6 players hit double digits and were once again led by Michael Beasley who had 17. Hawks got it down to 2 in the second half but Minnesota clamped down on defense to get the win and iced the game with free throws.

Bucks get a much needed win against the Bobcats after losing a few in a row. Kemba Walker again was the story in this game as he led the Bucks in scoring and his counter part Brandon Jennings was on the bench in foul trouble.


Kemba 29 Pts 17 Ast 5 Reb 5 Stl 2 Blk
Larry Sanders 15 Pts 6 Reb 2 Blk
Chris Singleton 15 Pts 8 Reb

Demar Derozan 32 Pts 4 Ast
Kevin Love 16 Pts 9 Reb
Brandon Jennings (Fouled Out 17 minutes played) 10 Pts 3-10 shooting

Pistons: 74
Sixers: 80

This one was ugly to watch as neither team could shoot for shit. At one point we led by 16, but Detroit actually came back to take the lead with a little over 3 minutes in the 4th quarter. But then AI and Holiday took over and put this one away. We commited 8 turnovers and shot got killed in the paint giving up 40. Most of them on BS penetration, spin, fake, fake, up and under that someone faked out 5 defenders. With Lou Williams having a nagging injury Jodie Meeks got 15 minutes (season high) scoring 10 points (season high)

Leaders:

Igoudala- 26 points, 5 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal
Holiday- 14 points, 7 boards, 6 assists, 4 steals
Gortat- 8 points, 10 boards, 1 block

Prince- 12 points, 8 boards, 4 assists
Knight- 11 points, 3 assists
Villenueva- 10 points, 4 boards

Sixers: 89
Kings: 101

Our 3 game road trip starts with an ugly loss. We were down 27-17 to start the 2nd quarter, and really never stood a chance. The Kings were on fire from 3 point land going 10/18, and shot 50% from the field. We live by the fast break, and we only had 2 fast break points, as somehow every time we got one, they had 1 guy that could stop whoever I passed to. At one point I had a 3 on 1 and I got blocked with no foul and missed the shot. Kings had 21 assists, and just passed it around the court all game long.

Leaders:

Igoudala- 20 points, 5 boards, 1 assist
Williams- 15 points, 2 boards, 3 assists
Brand- 12 points, 9 boards

Ferdette- 23 points, 8 boards, 9 assists (almost a triple freaking double), 1 steal, 5/7 3PT
Garcia- 16 points, 5 boards, 1 assist, 4/7 3 PT
Thornton- 15 points, 4 boards, 3 assists, 4 steals

Pistons: 82
Pacers: 96

The Pacers got Rodney Stuckey out of the game early with foul trouble, and Darren Collison scored a season high 25 on his backup to lead the Pacers to the victory.

Pacers: 104
Heat: 94

Very back and forth game with neither team pulling away until the Pacers hit their free throws. This game was never more than a 10 point lead. The Pacers got out-rebounded on the defensive end, but were able to enforce their will in the paint on the offensive end. Both starting big men, Hibbert and David West scored 22 points which tied with Wade who also had 22, for the highest scorers.

Pacers: 106
Nets: 98

The Pacers come back from down 15 in this game to get a big win. Granger led the team with 22 points, and George Hill had 14 with 8 assists. George Hill was the x-factor of this game, as he shut down Derron Williams when he was on the court, and the offense flowed through him every possesion.


The Pacers are now tied with Chicago and Boston for 3rd in the Eastern Conference after starting out 7 games below .500 earlier in the year.

OKC - 89
DEN - 84

Oklahoma City raced out to a 14-4 lead in the first quarter and things looked bleak for the Home team. However, a balanced offense for Denver was able to battle back and force 14 lead changes throughout the rest of the game. In the 3rd quarter, the backups for the Thunder were ice cold and allowed the Nuggets to take a 5 point lead. James Harden started his game 0-7 but he was able to hit 2 consecutive 3 pointers to bring the THunder back to the lead in the 4th quarter. If not for the sudden barrage of made 3's, surely the thunder would have lost this game.

In the end, the THunder were able to pull away and hit FTs to win.

Westbrook - 25 points, 5 boards, 4 assists
Durant - 33 points
Ibaka - 14 points, 7 boards, 3 blocks
Harden 9 points, 6 boards.

OKC - 85
WAS - 75

We started this game, it froze, then simmed. WIth the BS victory, the Thunder improved to 34-16 and have a 2.5 game edge on the mighty Lakers.

Mavericks: 77
Sixers: 90

Great game with SuperBowlNachos For someone who hadn't played the game very much, he hung tough in the first half, until about midway through the 2nd when our defense tightened up only allowing 10 points. Jason Terry was the story of this game though, as somehow we could not contain him. He dropped 32 points on us including 4-8 from 3 PT land. Story of the game was the 16 Dallas turnovers leading to 18 points. IN addition, the fast break was back in action as we scored 23 fast break points. The second half saw Gortat absolutely dominate. On the day he had 18 points and 14 boards.

Leaders:

Igoudala- 22 points, 6 boards, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block
Gortat- 18 points, 14 boards, 3 assists, 2 steals, 1 block
Holiday- 16 points, 5 assists, 2 steals

Terry- 32 points 1 board, 1 assist, 1 steal
Novitski- 19 points, 4 boards, 2 steals, 1 block
Carter- 9 points, 3 boards, 2 assists, 1 steal

I see Terry had a nice all around game.

I blow at this game. Can't get rebounds.

Well I think you were playing Dirk at Center, can he rebound?

Sorry i can't get into too specific details, playing catchup on my summaries.

Clippers 80
CAVS 92

Kyrie sat this one out with a sprained ankle and a balanced attack led the way for the Cavs with 5 players in double figures. Blake Griffin and Chris Paul were the leaders of the Clippers. Paul had 17 points and 5 assists with a whopping 9 steals. Something that was almost expected however with the Cavaliers being without their floor general. GG Matrix

Kings 83
CAVS 97

A 30-18 3rd quarter was the difference in this one. This was actually the game Kyrie got hurt in (played out of order) so Michael Redd carried the load for the Cavs scoring a season high 32 points on 13-21 shooting, 6-10 from deep.

Mavericks 62
CAVS 70

The Cavaliers led by a 30 points performance by Kyrie Irving really thought they were gonna cruise until the second half when Dirk came alive. At one point the German put the Mavericks within two in the fourth quarter. After a costly Backcourt Violation by Jason Terry gave the Cavs the ball back, Kyrie Irving would ice it with free throws.

CAVS 87
Pacer 79

This sucked. Makin was absolutely demolishing me until he was booted from the game. Once he was booted the game simmed and i got the W. I really hate this part of the OA.

Bucks 81
CAVS 89

Another classic between these two teams. No one player had a fantastic game for the Bucks, it was more of a well balanced attack that threw the Cavalier defense off. Jamison and Walker each had 15. Two of 5 players in double digits for the Bucks. This game actually started as a disaster for the Cavs going down 28-11 after the first. The disease of brick-itis was then passed on to the Bucks who couldn't get anything to go in allowing the Cavs back in it. The two teams each had chances to win in regulation but poor execution cost them both. In OT the Bucks were cold and the Cavs were hot. Kyrie Irving got the better of fellow ROY candidate Kemba Walker going for 24 points, 5 rebounds, and 8 assists. Kemba had 15 points on 7 of 26 shooting with 5 rebounds and 8 assists. Great game Z.

Boston 93 - new jersey 84

They really made me sweat. I can't get out of a CPU game easy at all lately. Pierce put in 40. Kg got 16-10. Rondo had 10 dimes. New jersey had 6 players in double figures and shot 29 threes. They hit 11 of those. But alot of those misses they would get the rebound for a quick put back. They had 6 off rebounds.

Two games left. Miami and nj again. We move to 36-20.

Timberwolves 82
Warriors 72

Derrick Williams had the best game of his young career leading Minnesota in an impressive victory against playoff bound Golden State. Williams had 27 points on 10-15 shooting to go along with 6 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 blocks. Williams played great defense on David Lee forcing him to take tough shots all game. Michael Beasley added 24 points.

CAVS WIN! GOING TO PLAYOFFS FOR FIRST TIME IN POST-LEBRON ERA!!!

Teams	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	Final
CAVS	22	20	31	22	95
Wizards	18	25	25	23	91

Washington D.C: "Wow, this has been such a long season. We did it. These guys worked their asses off all season long and it has paid off. I love these guys." Those were the words from Cavs head coach Byron Scott following his teams monumental win over the Wizards in the Verizon Center. This rivalry had been dead for awhile, but was certainly reignited with all that was on the line in this matchup. The two teams exchanged counter punches and haymakers with the Cavs staying on their feet the longest. The wily vet Rashard Lewis had possibly the best game of his career scoring 41 points on 16 of 26 shooting and 7 of 13 from downtown. Unfortunately for the former Sonic, he missed two huge fourth quarter shots that would have possibly changed the result of the ballgame. Kyrie Irving led the way for the Cavs going for 26 points, 8 rebounds, and 13 assists. The Cavs currently sit in the 6th seed but could fall as low as the 8th with the Hawks and Magic having at least 5 more games remaining than the Cavs. The Cavs now fiinish the regular season against the New York Knicks in a game that could be a first round preview. Great game ryalaman

Not trying to hate but I'm looking at the playoff picture and it doesn't show you have clinched yet?

OKC - 97
DAL - 74

The Mavericks came into this game looking to keep position in the playoff picture, however, soon after tip-off this one was over. Dirk scored 15 of his teams's 18 1st quarter points as his temmates could not get anything going. Jet Terry finished 4-15 and Dirk ended with 21 points. Westbrook poured in 20 and dished out a season-high 11 assists. Durant finished with 32.

Harden finished with 15/9 and Ibaka doubled up with a 10/10 performance that included 3 blocks.

Spurs 76
Mavericks 64

I just don't get what I'm doing wrong. I can't make a layup with a 7 footer, but then I can't defend a guy like Nate Robinson from going wild under the basket while using the lock down paint.

I now have to beat four users my last four games to make the playoffs...

Doesn't show it in game but whoever is 10th in the East is mathematically eliminated. So with 4 teams fighting for 3 spots, I am already guaranteed to finish higher than one. That one is Washington. We each have one game left and I have a 1 game lead on him plus the H2H tiebreaker (swept season series). Hope I didn't ramble too much to explain that lol

No makes sense. Congrats. Looks to me like you'll either get the bulls or pacers, whomever wins that division and I'll get the 2nd place team. At least the way I understand it. If it went straight from seed regardless of division winner it'd be me and you more than likey with my win over Miami today.
