:laugh:

Great win by the Cavs, LeBron is on fire atm, i think thats 5 consecutive games where he's scored 30+ points, and in those 5 cleveland have won 4.
I'm mad he made that shot end of the 4th qtr, even though it didnt count.

LeBron is the best player in the league.

I don't see how Toronto are any worse than the other teams in the East.

The East is so bad this year that each month has a new best team in the East.

Me too! :laugh: In all seriousness, regular season accomplishments, while nice and something to build off, really don't matter. It's what you do in the playoffs that counts obviously. That's why I'm still wary of the Spurs. They have a heart of a champion and my money says that they'll put it together by the time the playoffs come around. I still think the top 3 teams in the West are Dallas, Phoenix, and San Antonio - in that order.
i am a little wary of putting phoenix ahead of the spurs...they have to prove that they can beat the spurs in a playoff series before i do that...for all the suns' streaking and the spurs' plateauing off in recent times, the suns still have to prove that they have it in them to go that extra mile to grab a championship...the spurs have proved that year after year against quality rivals...

The Mavs win their 17th straight. In the process, they give the Lakers their worse home loss in franchise history! :-O

Anyone following Spurs ? 12 win in a row..;) mostly due to playing great defense.
Yeah the Spurs have their annual second half surge going on. I was probably hasty in putting the Suns ahead of them. I know I would love for someone to knock them out before they meet the Mavs in the playoffs!

:D The Cavs post their 6th on the Trot with a 24point hammering of the Kings. With King James missing Hughes, Pavlovic, Gooden & Z all contributed for the Cavs.

Mavs vs Suns right now. Should be fun!

Incidentally, the Mavs lost to Golden state day before yesterday. Shockingly, Golden State is 2-0 against us. The Warriors can conceivably be the 8th seed in the West. Ummmm, should I start worrying? :ph34r:

I'm sick to my stomach after watching the Mavs lose to the Suns. Dallas erases a 16 point deficit, only to give up a 16 point 4th quarter lead themselves. Nash was bloody incredible. Sends the game into overtime by hitting an incredible 3, with less than 3 seconds in regulation time remaining. He then makes the defensive play of the game by stealing the ball off Terry in the final seconds of double-overtime. This was the most intense game I've watched all year. This one is going to hurt me for a few days. :(

Lebron back with 29 points as the Cavs win their 7th on the trot :D. Starting with both Hughes & Pavlovic seems to be paying dividends as they're taking the pressure of LeBron.

Still not over this loss tbh. It brought back very painful memories from last year's Finals. The Mavs blew a big lead, Dirk chocked in the final minutes, Terry disappeared for large patches, Howard made a stupid mental error, and the opposition's most athletic player could score at will and was unstoppable (Amare). I can tell you that the entire city of Dallas had a feeling of unease and symptoms of nausea the next day. I know it's only one game and all, but until the Mavs prove they can win it all, this town will be snake-bitten.

i don't think there are too many defenders that can really put the brakes on amare when he catches fire, would be tough even for the pistons or the spurs....there are some players like that....great defensive teams smother their support cast(to be fair they had two greats to deal with if you include nash but still...) and try to make them beat them alone and more often than not, one player as great as he is won't be able to take his team home all by himself....although dallas has improved their defense tremendously under avery, i don't think they are at the level of the teams i mentioned above....
