NBA Season 2014-2015

Especially with this Milwaukee game being a close one, you'd think that the Cavs would rest their guys against us for at least one of the games.

I don't trust DWade ...be just like him to ask his Girl LeBron for HELP ......

The fans in Miami ...think it is their destiny ....to play the Cavs in the playoffs...

Delusional homers

Teams I fear in the East playoffs: Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls.

Everyone else can be fodderized.

Noah and Gasol could be a force to reckon with!

Not that we're a lock to make the playoffs, but apparently Atlanta 'prefers' us in the first round.  Sigh.  Making the postseason this year accomplishes absolutely nothing, imo.

The Spurs are for reals now, wow. They just routed a Houston Rockets team that has James Harden and Dwight Howard playing, considering how these two paired together always caused torment for the Spurs these past couple of years.

Not sure if this belonged in Around the NBA or Celtics forum, or both.

LBJ, you should take it easy. Rest those knees. MT @WindhorstESPN: LeBron James hinted he'll sit the next 2 games. Both are against Celtics.

Surely it has got to  lend some credibility to a young Coach on the rise and show some potential free agents that this club is on the right track.

What's funny is that until this year Atlanta was the poster boy for "just making the playoffs every year accomplishes nothing".

Heat are only 1 point underdogs vs Chicago tonight.  Should be a close game and the stakes are pretty huge for both teams.  Chicago could lose out on home court in the first round to the Wizards if they lose this one, while the Heat could miss the playoffs and send their likely late lotto pick to Hinkie

They may still be.  Very nice story, but how much of this season is just statistical variance and better injury luck than in the past?  Let's see if they can beat a really good opponent (I.e. the Cavs, or at least the Bulls) in the playoffs.

Definitely rooting hard for Chicago against Miami tonight. This game can largely impact our playoff chances.

Milsap was their best player, so if he's really hindered by that shoulder injury it's going to be tough for them and not really indicative of how good they are full strength.

Rose and Gasol looking very good so far tonight. Really hoping they beat Miami, which will make it really tough for them to catch up with us if we take at least one of the Cavs game with them resting.

And I still like the Bulls to do a lot of damage in the playoffs if Rose is healthy.

Go Bulls
