Not sure how likely it is.  But 5th seed isn't totally crazy.  Especially if the injured Magic guys don't get back fast.  I think Milwaukee, Cleveland, Boston, and New York end up top 4 when its all said and done.

 

the bulls sat half their roster, still built a 20 point 4th quarter lead over hapless atlanta, and then proceeded to blow it and lose by almost 10.  gave up 50 points in the 4th quarter.

the east is god awful bad.

Wow! That was a game!

If you would've told me that they'd have a better win % in December than November when looking at the schedule a couple months ago I would've told you to lay off the drugs. Cade better be an All-Star lock.

Now for the bad.

Harris and THJ combined to score 10 points tonight.  The Pistons are basically starting games and 2nd halves playing 5 on 3 with those two guys on the court.

@Deleterious I'd call it 6 on 3 because Duren might as well be playing for the other team when he's on defense most nights. The defensive rating is 120 when he's on the floor and 111 when he's off the floor. That's an insane 9 point swing. It's not because Stew has turned into prime Ben Wallace either, because it's the same story when you put Reed in there. Pretty much any way you slice the numbers, they're better when JD is on the bench. And on the other end, his high turnover percentage isn't helping the offense either.

Beasley is now #1 on 3PTA's and 3PT makes.  Everyone near him on the list is a starter.  For example, Ant is #2 on both lists 3 behind on attempts 2 behind on makes.  Ant has played 150 more minutes.

They ended Mike Browns time in Sacramento.  

On a serious note.  They have been pretty disappointing this year and just went 0-5 on a 5 game homestand.  It was probably time to fire him.

Lets hope he concentrates on the light part.  As a Luka fan boy, I'm sick of seeing him show up every October out of shape.

Ivey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hits the 3 and fouled chance to put them up 1 with 3 second left.  

I recorded the game per usual.  Worked from home today, never really had a chance to watch it and didn’t just want it on in the background.  Finally able to flip it on around 7:30pm next night.  I was pretty stealthy with avoiding the final score, I usually screw it up and accidentally pull into an app that reveals the score to me.  Wanted to give in and call it off at 18 down.  I mean, they’ve already beaten the Suns and Lakers on this trip, what are the odds they go 3-0?  But, no, I’m just a lot bit stubborn sometimes and decided to stick with it for no really good reason.  Such a good comeback.

Now, I’ll record the Nuggets game.  But if they fall behind by double digits, I’m not so sure I stick with it.  I think all the magic pixie dust has been used up on this trip.

Wow.  I just watched him coaching after he was fired.  That’s kind of weird.
