The Hawks should be given two losses for their performance today. Woof.
The real postseason starts today, including the first playoff basketball in Sacramento since before J.J. Redick played a single minute in the NBA (and in the marquee ABC prime time slot at that). Discuss here!
Just be you. You is enough. - K, 4/5/10, 0:13.8 to play, 60-59 Duke.
You're all jealous hypocrites. - Titus on Laettner
You see those guys? Animals. They're animals. - SIU Coach Chris Lowery, on Duke

Sixers looked every bit as dominant as I feared (being a Boston fan for over 50 years).
The Celtics are the most talented team I’ve ever seen that commit so many careless, unforced turnovers. Backcourt violations, lazy passes in the half court, etc. And when I say unforced, I mean utterly stupid turnovers. It’s what cost them a title last year, and my bet is it may cost them again this year because Tatum and Brown seem to be worst offenders in this area. They are both great, but the careless turnovers are a major problem. In spite of this they should advance past the Hawks.
Hawks won’t win a game. Mismatch.
Still I see 3 teams that could come out of the east and 6 out of the west. That’s a lot. Should be fun playoffs if we can stick to basketball and forget about the off court dramas that are a plague on this league.
I'm not sure how many here are watching the Knicks vs. the Cavs, but Hubie Brown -- who was born in 1933! -- is delivering spirited, expert commentary.
I note that all four NBA teams that he coached are in the playoffs this year: Bucks, Hawks, Knicks, Grizzlies.
(Unfortunately the ABA-era Kentucky Colonels are out of contention.)
And Hubie coached at Duke in the 1970's.
This NY-Cleveland game is hard to watch. Really sloppy and some bad missed shots.
I was looking for the RJ Barrett lovefest thread. I don’t think this is it.
It looked like Monk took about 14 extra steps on that drive to the basket that gave the Kings a 91-90 lead.
