Not even Philly could blow a home game against the awful Kicks 

[Surferdad]

Remember when we were told the Process would be a success and the Philly fans would be happy if the Sixers just won 50 games, since the team hadn't won that much since the 1980's?

Maybe people who visit Liberty Ballers can help me out,
but it sure doesn't appear to me like Sixer fans are happy or think the Process successful.

Bathing in the salt of everyone at Liberty Baller is a glorious occasion. The general consensus over there seems to be that Brett Brown is a moron, and Brand is incompetent and ruined the Process by signing Tobias Harris and Al Horford.

Well, I'm glad they have a grip on reality.

I’m still shocked Miami made changes at the deadline (2-7 since), especially since they had such a cohesive unit. To make matters worse, Pat Riley basically blindly extended a 36 year old Iguodala for 2 years at $30M.

Heat are most probably expecting Iguodala to help them in the playoffs.

Help how exactly? He hasnt had a noticable impact on the court for a couple of seasons now. I dont understand why the talking heads were talking him up as some prize of the midseason market.

I was under the impression they did for cap relief, and that Winslow wouldn't be playing for the season, so they needed to replace his play making + defense.

What a fantastic West Coast trip. Crazy to say that was one of our best ones in recent years?

Went 3-1, only loss being that stupid game at Staples with the refs taking over late (2-point loss).

The "scheduled loss" against Utah was actually a very solid win. Back-to-back against Portland + Utah on the road and we won both 

PHI + MIA also lost, so with 23-25 games remaining between the three teams, Boston has a 5+ game lead on both of them. Our focus though is on the #2 seed, and we're just 1 back of the Raptors.

Pacers just 2 games back of MIA + PHI, so that 4-6 range could be a dogfight.

FWIW, Raptors down double digits to the Hornets right now. Long way left though

I don't see us catching up to the Bucks. But it would be nice to have the home court edge over the Raptors, though doesn't matter the Celtics can also win in Toronto. But I fear of the first round opponent of who the Celtics might draw. Could give them some unexpected trouble.

I love Kawhi..dude walking in in a New Balance hoodie and Khaki pants lol...

He (and his game) is so simple.

IMO he's the Tim Duncan of SGs / SFs.

So many lopsided games this year, no wonder viewership is down. I also notice a lot of empty chairs at games this year...

I'm so glad Scarry Terry is a Hornet now.... Down to 7.

The Bucks are stacked as a team but has a coach Bud team ever made the finals?

[bdm860]

Hornets doing everything they can to throw the game away.

Raptors just took the lead with about a minute left, after being down by 17.

Rozier has a couple big shots in the last 4 minutes though.  Just let Lowry blow by him though to give the Raptors the lead.

[RockinRyA]

clutch call. Raptors got a dose of Marc Davis

[bdm860]

Rozier with the clutch flop to win the game!

Felt like those last 2 seconds took about an hour to play out though.
