The Spurs are in a bit of a pickle tonight. They'd like to have the overall number one seed but they really don't want the Lakers to fall to the 4 seed.

Finally. The season is far too long and meaningless but it's hard to pass up the NBA playoffs. Can't wait. Hoping Lebron can finally get that ring.

This has been one of the better regular seasons in a while, IMO.

Well, yes. Though the Thunder and Knicks 1st round series should be entertaining.

I actually think the first round is going to be pretty entertaining with maybe a couple of upsets.

It probably has. If KC had a team I'd follow the regular season, but to an outside fan that has no particular rooting interest it's hard to follow an 82 game season. The NBA is becoming a lot more competitive though it seems. This years playoffs should be a lot of fun to watch.

Most talent in the NBA ever right now. I dont ever remember this many good teams. NEVER.

Hoping Chicago wins it all, but I think the Lakers will end up with another threepeat even though they are struggling now. Phil's teams have always tended to lay down a little more in the regular season in the last year of all his other threepeats and this year is looking the same.

Lakers have played alot of games. They have to not play as hard all the time. Kobe, Pau, Artest, Lamar have played alot of years and alot of games espeically in the last 4 years.

As much as people want them to play 110 percent every game. Its not going to happen. They gotta pace themselves.

Celts vs Knicks, you know the NBA is loving that.

The league will market the hell out of that series.

I would like to see Memphis knock off Dallas in round 1.

Yep, that one is interesting.

It's not likely the match ups posted in the OP will be the match ups when the season ends.
