If I had my choice of the Heat and the Pistons, I'd go with the Pistons.

No more bling for Shaq. I hate his guts.

And I do mean "hate." ;)

Suns win over Pacers, and Reggie Miller's retired jersey ceremony at halftime.

watching the Lakers and Spurs game, an important game for the Lakers to win at home.

The New Jersey Nets win 11th straight by defeating the Atlanta Hawks 91-88 :victory: . Despite Jason Kidd's bad game with only 11 points and 2 assists, the Nets still manages to pull off a victory with Jefferson and Carter taking charge and scoring 27 and 26 points respectively.

wow, if they can still win, despite Kidd's sub-par performance, then you know they are a really good team now...and the hottest in the league at 11 straight wins now. :say_yes:

Yeah, I just hope Jason Kidd's usual double-double game performance gets back in the playoffs because the Nets are gonna need it :fingerscrossed: .

By the way, looks like the number of the night (day here) is 106, with the Lakers and Clippers winning against their opponents with this score :mrgreen: :bonk: .

yeah....clips and lakers win, magic number is 106... :woot:

Warriors are headed straight for the lottery, and a quick exit...another loss tonight. :beatyou: :beaten: :shakehead:

Magic number......is the number 106 available in lotto? :mrgreen:

Things aren't looking good for the Warriors recently :shakehead: . They do have good players though......there must be a missing part in the chemistry :sweat: .

not sure...on the 106 lotto..lol :hehe:

Warriors....they are missing a lot more than the chemistry of their team....the list is probably large..in terms of what they are lacking...they are just inconsistant and do not know how to win games this year...They seriously need to do some big changes to their line up, and who knows...probably a new coach too, seems like they are always getting new coaches. hopefully they can make the playoffs somehow next year.

Hmm......they have a pretty good lineup to me, with Baron Davis, Jason Richardson, and Troy Murphy in the roster. Maybe it's defense that they are lacking (here i go again with this "defense" thing :beaten: ). I think picking a defensive minded coach in the off-season will do :sweat: .

Kwame gets 12 points 13 rebounds in Lakers win! :woot: I'm not sure that is Kwame. I think they made a trade and just forgot to tell anybody.

they have good players, but it's not enough to help them win games and improve their defense...They fire up too many three's, turn the ball over too much, and lack a consistant inside game, no post up player that will demand the double team. I think Troy Murphy and Dunleavey are good players and they have talent, but they lack inside toughness, a post up player that will improve their team.

In a game that was not as close as the score indicates, UCLA beats LSU 59-45 :victory: If it was a fight, they would have stopped it :hehe:

Inside toughness and post up player, in that case they need a good center. They should get Jamaal Magloire from Milwaukee Bucks. The guy puts up big numbers when he was with the Hornets, but with the Bucks, his numbers are down because of Andrew Bogut :shakehead: .

By the way, the Milwaukee Bucks defeated the Indiana Pacers 96-89 and set an NBA record for the fewest turnovers in a game with 2 :mrgreen: .

Warriors lose another game....this time to Minnesota 104-106....

Lakers win as Kobe scores 43 against the Rockets and win 104-88 :thumbsup:

Phoenix falls to Detroit's overpowering defense, 102-109. :beaten:

UCLA loses to Florida 73-57 :puppydog: It was fun while it lasted :applaud:

Noah&Florida Gators, too much to handle for the Bruins, i gave up watching 10 min to go...it was a landslide lopsided game, but UCLA fought to the championship, much to be proud still, even in a losing cause.

I was expecting an exciting championship game because I thought that both teams are evenly matched. That's the only reason why I watched this game, since I'm not rooting for any of these teams and really don't care who wins it :mrgreen: . But it turned out to be a blow out game for the Gators......so much for my expection =T .

Late News: the Miami Heat fell victim to the winning streak of the New Jersey Nets 78-90 :victory: .

wow, is that 14 in a row...amazing..they are the league's hottest team...and carrying that momentum into the playoffs....which will be really good for them.

Yay my team the Bobcats defeated Minnesota 97-92 at home and also Miami, my other team, blew out Milwaukee 115-89 at home also
