    Oh look, Greg Oden playing. Just a week ago, freaking fat obesehorst was saying that he was done for the season because 'Roy Hibbert broke him'. This is why you don't EVER listen to that fat ass troll.

    You know the Nets are tanking when they start Jason Collins. Guess they are trying to take the back-door into the 6 seed. ziiiiiing!

    Keep in mind Pistons are really good at blowing leads in the 4th quarter.

    Wow...Memphis and Dallas really don't want SA. Playing to win. They both obviously like their chances against OKC or LAC more.

    A good move by them to avoid Bulls. So funny for the Eastern Conference!

    I actually think the Raptors are a worse matchup. That young team is gonna run circles around them.

    ^^ i agree, Bulls struggle to score often while Toronto is faster and given them fits in the head to head matchups too.

    On that note, now that 3 and 4 are locked in with the Bulls loss (TOR #3 and CHI #4), it would be in the Wizards best interest to tank their 4th quarter against Boston because they match up better against TOR than CHI. Surely they have to be aware of the results on the bench, right?

    Pistons will lose unless OKC is tanking.

    Looks like Nets are also shamelessly tanking to avoid Chicago and face the Heat in rd 2...

    double NM. If the Wizards lose, they'd get MIA, not TOR.

    They won't get past TOR.

    doubt it, refs are going to heavily favor the nets in order to set up a nets-heat round 2

    Because it seemed like every time I check a OKC box score, Durant has a bad shooting night, I decide to check if it's been a trend. And man, his April shooting has been horrendous. 25% on 3s and 44% overall.

    I think there's a real chance that he gets burned out. He's played 300 minutes more than Harden(before this game) and we complain about how Harden plays too much. 300 is roughly 9 games worth. Add the last game and we're talking about 10 extra games played by Durant than Harden over the course of the season.

    If Durant slumps in the playoffs and OKC fails once again, that would just an amazing fall from grace from 2 years ago.
