If I were any of the top four teams, I think I'd want to play New Orleans, then Portland, then Memphis, then Denver. I feel sorry for whoever has to face Denver in the first round.

I'd rather play denver than portland or memphis

new orleans is 1st though (assume this goes for every top 4 team)

Would Dallas trade for Nash? Or would they have enough for Nash?

Actually, I just looked this up.

Timberwolves have a 25% chance.
Cavaliers have a 22.7% chance (19.90%+2.80%)

Yeah, you're right. Is the tiebreaker head to head record? If so, the Wolves have beaten Cleveland twice this year. So if the Cavs manage to lose at home against the Wizards, the Wolves need to make sure they lose to the Rockets.

No the tiebreaker is a coinflip.

Wolves are done rebuilding so it doesn't matter if they get the first pick anyways.

They would probably do it in a heartbeat... And then his back would go out and justice would be served.

[coldcity]

that gap between derrick & dwight should be a lot bigger........but Addidas is happy

 

[japanair21]

Yo, who else excited for USA Basketball though?

Guys like Paul, James, Deron, Wade, Kobe, Dwight, Melo, combining with the 2010 FIBA squad like Love, Westbrook, Rose, and KD.

I also hope there's room for Iggy and Gay. Maybe even Tyson Chandler.

 

[japanair21]

Wait what? BOS/NY first round?

I can't wait.

What day does the Playoffs start? Saturday? Sunday?

I am! Too bad we gotta wait another summer till we get to seem them on the court. Are they gonna hold any sort of training camp in Vegas? Maybe a Blue vs White scrimmage??

 

[japanair21]

Wiki said there'll be a meeting between players and coaches this summer, but no on-court activities.

If there is no lock out resolution by late July USA Basketball should get like 2 or 3, heck maybe even 4 if they have enough guys in their pool interested, USA squads and send them around the world playing other National teams

OAKLAND – The National Basketball Players Association is considering staging a charity game, or possibly a series of games, at different locations if the lockout stretches into the scheduled start of the 2011-12 season, union president Derek Fisher told NBA.com.

“I’d say it’s possible right now,

Anybody planning on heading out to London for those Olympic games next year?

My man

So pretty much 17 and 11. Not earth shattering but very solid for a player who would be a senior in college right now. I know he's had a couple of games where he would have like 28 and 17, 18 and 21, 30 and 12. Dude is on his way to being a top 8 pf in the league and he is only 22 (I believe). Good looking SHUGES

 

[bhzmafia14]

I'm not a big numbers fan.
I'm sure the majority of these guys can produce in the league when given the opportunity. Not to discredit Hickson, but I don't get excited about guys producing like that on those kinda teams. I'm not saying every guy that puts up big numbers on bad teams won't accomplish nothing in the league, but you have to look at more than just the numbers. 

But, this is the type of thing that leads GM's to giving out big contracts to guys like that. Then, they want to complain about it 2-3 years after its done.

I'm not going to lie and say I haven't watched that many Cleveland games this season, but whats different from him post all-star than pre all-star to translate those kinda numbers?
