While it's dangerous to suggest that coaches should be allowed to be physical with players, I think I'm going to give Silas a pass. After getting their butt kicked on the court apparently Silas slammed Thomas into a locker because he was too friendly with the opposing team. Thats some old school right there. I'm torn because I can't condone violence in a coaching setting, but damn, the Bobcats suck...it would have been much better if a fellow player did it.

Duke NBA report:
Deng and Boozer both struggled at the Heat last night in what was a chippy, playoff intensity game. James Jones was ejected, there were two flagrant fouls , two sets of double technicals and just all around physicality. Boozer had 10pts on poor shooting, Deng had 11 on poor shooting. Rose did not play.
Dunleavy had 23 and 8reb in the Milwaukee loss. Grant Hill had a DNP. Dahntay was 0-4 with 2pts and 3reb in the Indiana win.
Playoff Picture:
With the loss MIL is now 3 back and out of the playoff picture for that last spot (but not technically eliminated), but PHX moved into the 8th spot in the west with the win by virtue of a division record tiebreaker with Utah. Should the standings stay as they are, you will have Deng, Boozer and Bulls as the 1 seed in the East. Dahntay Jones and the Pacers as the 3 seed. JJ, Duhon and the Magic as the 6 seed. Elton Brand and PHI are the 8 seed.
In the west, McRoberts and the Lakers are the 3 seed, and Hill and the Suns are a precarious 8 seed.
