Well, the regular season is almost over.....another 12 or so games to play for each team. How's your team doing and how does their playoff picture look like?

The Kings have had a rollercoaster season and it'll take some doing to sneak into the playoffs. The play the Clippers tonight and really need to win this one badly. Bibby has slowly started to catch fire lately and I hope he can put in another strong performance like that amazing 3 point display against the Suns recently!

Having said that, even if they do make the playoffs, they might end up as cannon-fodder for one of the powerhouses in the West sad.gif

Well, gohran has done an excellent job keeping everyone up to date on the JAZZ. It is going to be a fight for home court advantage. The upcoming roadtrip is going to be a 'make or break' time for the Jazz (Spurs, Houston, Portland, Sacramento). They have lost their last 5 road games, they need to get their confidence back.

They sure aren't playing the team ball they were playing earlier in the year. Boozer and Williams has kept them alive for the most part. Okur's wife just had their first baby, I don't know if that is why he hasn't been playing well as of late. Harpring is a machine off the bench. Kirilenko had a good game against the T-Wolves, if he plays defense in the playoffs like he played against Minnesota, The Jazz might make some noise come May.

I got my playoff tickets already, so I am ready to Rock and Roll!!!
msuwendy
I really hope the Jazz go deep in the playoffs too! Really love the way Deron Williams is playing smile.gif

Despite a 4th quarter surge, the Kings fell to the Clippers at home....sigh....looks like that 8th playoff berth is almost out of reach sad.gif

Utah has won the North West great year for you guys, almost as good as my Raps. Mark have fun watching some play-off action thats going to be exciting.

Well the Raptors had a HUGE game last night at Washingston. Mo Pete drops a 3 with like .5 seconds left to send it into OT and Chris Bosh takes care of the game RAPTORS RAPTORS WIN RAPTORS WIN!!!!

40-32 They only won 27 last year and theres still 10 games left.

Raptors are 3rd in the EAST!!!! No one even expected them to be in the play-off hunt this year.

We'll get you guys next year Alex!! biggrin.gif

Anton....I've been extremely impressed with Bosh....ever since his rookie year. He's definitely undervalued as far as his cards are concerned. Easily one of the best big men in the league even at his young age smile.gif

He IS the best Power Forward in the East. After this year when the Raptors make the second round of the play-offs with the possibility of going to the East final his cards will skyrocket.

For anyone who has not seen the Morris Peterson last second three to tie the game and send it into OT.

Check it out here, Haier Play of the Day.

So it's time to get Bosh cards!!
Haven't seen much from the Spurs lately... Lots of stuff to study, few games to watch here in Argentina, but I think they are playing good right now.
But playoffs is something totally different from regular season so no analysis can be made. I hope that Manu can lead the Spurs to another championship, although this time will be tough with all those West teams, like Phoenix, Dallas and Utah.

My Bosh collection

Spurs are playing under the radar which is a big advantage for them.
They are playing quite well they should make it to the Conference Finals this year.
msuwendy
They're always dangerous in the playoffs....loads of experience and Parker/Duncan/Ginobili are as dangerous a combination as any. I've got a sneaky suspicion about the Mavs this year though.

For me, I am extremely disappointed with the Golden State Warriors...even with the "hot start" at the beginning of the year, they just could not sustain the drive, winning attitude and long season.

This team just couldn't rebound (no height), shoot for a percentage (FG and FT), didn't play a physical game (one of the least FT ATT in the league), had the 2nd WORST road record and couldn't avoid the injury bug.

The 8 man trade of Murphy, Dunleavy, Diogu, McLeod for Harrington, Jackson, Jackavioc (SP?) and Powell was good, but hasn't helped

All that said...it'll be the 13th year without making the Playoffs, but the Bay Area still love their Warriors.

Well Orlando has the 8th spot right now, so if they can hold on then pull off a great run in the playoffs that would be pretty sweet
2000 rushing yards
Well, Washington is giving me panic attacks this months, having there 2nd straight losing month. If they can come above .600 for the rest of the season, i cna see them with the 3rd spot
msuwendy
Peter....I think the Warriors are a couple of years away from being serious playoff contenders. They've got a strong young nucleus and if they continue to develop the core of the team, they've got a shot. I really like Beidrins!
tex333
Awesome. Mavs are going to finish 70-11. Second best record ever. We have locked up the overall number one seed. Dirk is going to win the MVP. I cant wait to bring home three trophies this season. MVP, Western Confrence Champs, and NBA Champions.

Well maybe not 70 as they lost today but still good non the less.

If the Raptors win today over Charlotte they earn a play-off spot. It will be the first time they've seen the play-offs in 5 years.

A pity VC isn't there anymore, he deserved it... He only had one chance in playoffs and lost to the Knicks...

Kings keeping it close against the Lakers right now....hope they can pull it off biggrin.gif

Well the Raptors made it to the playoffs in 1999-00 and lost to the Knicks in the first round. 2000-01 they went back to the playoffs and beat the Knicks in the first round and took Philly to 7 games and lost on a last second shot. Philly went on to win the Eastern Conference. So he made it twice wink.gif

I think they wanted to watch the baseball opening night and refused to play! They sent doubles to play the game

Well I was hoping but they really fell apart in the 4th.
oldspice_007
Well Raptors lost a close one against Miami last night. I wasn't sure if they could pull off a win in Miami.
msuwendy
Any Bulls fans here? I like the look of this team. Ben Gordon has really proven that he can be a full time starter and I really think that Hinrich is a very underrated PG. Very good core of young players too!

Yea Chicgos been good this year. Still missing pieces to the puzzle. Luol Deng is one of the biggest mismatches in the NBA.
msuwendy
Definitely agree about Deng. Few collectors seem to notice him....he's got huge upside.

Also really like Nocioni....pity he's been plagued by injury problems, but that has opened the door for Tyrus Thomas to get a little more playing time.
mrkjnl
After last nights loss to Portland, I want to put a paper bag over my head! Roy lit the Jazz up. The Jazz made a nice run in the 4th, but a little to late.

Yea lucky for Thomas, because I didnt see him getiing more then 5 minutes playign time this season.

Yea that was a tough loss, Boozer had a monster game too. 21 and 21!

Raptors won last night against the Magic, I was happy with that.
Bosh put up 28 and 10.
msuwendy
Kings almost came back against the Nuggets in the 4th, but it was too little too late. More than 6 games behind the 8th seed now.....don't think it's gonna happen.
msuwendy
Kings getting bullied by the Jazz at the moment tongue.gif

Stop smiling Gohran biggrin.gif
tex333
Dallas is beating Denver 37-30 at half time. I think the Rims are rigged
msuwendy
Kings actually leading in the 4th now! Hope they can hang on biggrin.gif

I love Nocioni, his playing style is just amazing... a pity he couldn't hit the 3 pointer in the BKB World Cup against Spain... sad.gif
He'll have an excellent playoff (at least I wish)
msuwendy
The Bulls were on fire tonight.....destroyed the Nets 105-74!

msuwendy
Kings won! Still a longshot for the playoffs but a home victory over the Jazz is a much needed confidence boost! smile.gif

Well Raptors won last night. Clinching the Atlantic Division Title, first title in franchise history!

Only 3 losses since the allstar break, undefeated in the west.

Way to close out the season! The Raptors have been sizzling hot!!! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

Not as sizzling hot as the on fire spurs though haha

I got tickets to final game of year.

Maybe not as hot but they just clinched the third spot and tied the franchises win total and they still have 2 games left to break it.

Well, the Kings couldn't win their last game and are headed for the lottery. Could this be the end of Mike Bibby's tenure with the Kings? I know for certain there'll be some big changes in the offseason.

It could be, for Bibby's good. He deserves some more motivation (no intention to offend the Kings), but he needs a team to fight in the Playoffs.
msuwendy
If he goes to Cleveland, I'm in trouble....UD is bound to release a combo auto featuring Bibby and Bron....there goes the budget!!! tongue.gif

at least the warriors won and are back in the playoffs.
