All I can say is POOR Sacramento.

They have back-to-back games Tuesday and Wednesday nights............in Cleveland and Boston!

I'll be at the game Tuesday which, with my history, will improve the Kings chances of winning dramtically.

The Thunder are embarrassing the Nets, 84-56 early in the 4th period!

The Nets outscored the Thunder, 31-12 in the 4th.

But OKC holds on for the win, 94-85.

How many wins does OKC have this season?

It's hard to believe, but they're up to 10 wins.

Well, it's official- the single-season record for losses- 73- will still survive.

At one point, I thought OKC had a great chance to break that record.

Other bullet points from tonight's games:

* The Hornets cooled off the Sixers

* The Heat blew out the Hawks, 95-79. Don't look now, but the Heat are tied (24-19) with Detroit for 5th in the East.............only 1.5 games behind Atlanta for the coveted 4th spot.

* The Knicks defeated the Jekyll & Hyde Rockets

* The T-Wolves continue to be red hot (winning 9 of their last 11) as they defeat the Bucks in Milwaukee.

Speaking of the T-Wolves, if they were in the Eastern Conference, they would have a legitimate shot at a playoff berth.

Right now, the East has seven solid playoff teams.

But, who will step up as a sacrificial lamb for Cleveland or Boston in the 8th spot:

Milwaukee (22-26)- right now has the 8th spot, but it's hard to imagine them holding on to it without Michael Redd.

New Jersey- 20-25
New York- 19-25
Charlotte- 18-26
Chicago- 18-28
Toronto- 18-28
Indiana- 17-27

Out of all those teams, I think Toronto will get their act together and get the #8 seed.

After what Atlanta and Golden State did the last two years, I will never overlook #8 seeds again.

VERY good point

.

I just don't see a team THIS year (maybe Chris Bosh and the Raptors?) that has the capabilities of the '07 Warriors or last year's Hawks (who are proving this year that they are a pretty good team).
