WOW is right! What a beatdown the Magic laid. When they're hitting their outside shots, they are nearly unstoppable.

We'll see when the playoffs start. This game didn't mean a thing to the Cavaliers.

Pistons-Sixers are playing a rare Saturday afternoon game on National TV (ESPN).

They're at the half and the Pistons are leading, 50-46.

Nice appetizer going into the Final Four main course!

76ers clinch a playoff berth.

Given that Cheeks was fired earlier and the season-ending injury to Brand, this is rather impressive (Igoudala and Andre Miller are a troublesome duo).

As for Detroit- can I officially say they have no chance of making it back to the East Finals for a seventh straight year?

They aren't looking like a team that can cause trouble in the playoffs- they don't have the up-tempo players that can cause trouble for the better teams ala the Hawks and Warriors

Haven't you already done that about five times through this thread?

HD once mentioned how the Cavs bounce back nicely from tough losses.

After the surprisingly ugly loss on Friday in Orlando, they bounce back with an impressive win over the Spurs.

This surprised me, because I thought the Spurs seemed capable of testing Cleveland's home-court dominance (they have won in Boston, Utah, and Atlanta- those are not easy places to win by any means).

The Mavericks have scored 81 points against Phoenix- in the first half.

I already know what HD's going to look like tomorrow:

I only tuned in for the first half of that game. I was so furious I turned it off at halftime. The next day I was near meltdown mode to say the least.
