http://espn.go.com/nba/hollinger/playoffodds Wow, they were updated recently, and wow... was there a big upset. Now, Orlando and Cavs are pretty even, that's not really super surprising. Orlando's ahead for making finals and champs over everyone. However, that's not what I'm talking about. Apparently since the Spurs are doing well, Hollinger's playoff odds have bumped them up significantly. So much so, that they're actually predicting them to have the best chance to be the champs on the western side with an 11.9% chance of them being champs. Only Utah is anywhere close to them, with an 11.7% for champs. And even scarier? LA only has a 4.7. I know these aren't exact and probably won't mean much when playoffs actually start, but it's really surprising.

One thing I've noticed with Redick this year, is that he's far more aggressive than last season. That, and his three pointers are going in more often.

Now, I'm not a Raptor fan, or a Bulls fan. But you have to hand it to the Raptors, they know how to embarrass a team at times. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/bl...watch?urn=nba,206950 Seriously... no one tries to stop this guy with the ball while he ties his shoes?

Despite the fact that I think KG is a few fries short of a happy meal. I gotta respect the Celtics since they actually won something. The Cavs, however, are full of fecal matter. You win something, then you have a right to gloat. Also, Lebron not shaking hands? Rude and disrespectful.

I don't give a crap. JJ is playing well, and he's showing me exactly WHY he belongs on the Magic team this year vs last year.

I still have bad memories of TMAC, and it might just be me, but no thanks. The guys just coming off surgery, and Rashard is a little rusty, but he's still a good player as shown tonight, so no thanks.

Sure, they don't suck, but they weren't expecting them to do as well as they have... especially the Hawks. ah, just read your post green1, sorry It's ok. Anyways, yeah, never saw the Hawks or the Heat as a threat. Rest of the Southeast got better as well it seems, and no one saw that coming. Heck, I thought the Hawks would be the same as last year, but I was wrong.

Otis knows what he's doing. Him and Van Gundy have assembled a team, that while plagued with injuries and illnesses and suspensions, can still get the job done. We bragged about our Depth, and we had that depth tested. Personally, I think we aced the test.

All this negativity on Stan. Do you guys want to go back to Brian Hill? I sure as hell don't. Stan was the best thing that happened to this team in years. In the 2007/2008 season, we went to the playoffs. In the 2008/2009, we went to the Finals. Stan is a very passionate, intelligent coach. Please stop questioning his abilities. I don't give two ****s if he's nice or a hard-***, he gets results. Not to mention, it's said that Stan approached Dwight, not the other way around.

Hmm, now we gotta think about this... who is a better coach? Doc Rivers or Mike Brown? Honestly though, I gotta go with Rivers. At least his team won an championship while under him. Even so, Van Gundy is still >>>>>>> Rivers.

Lol, that huge crowd uproar when the game got tied at 78 and 78. All for nothing in the end.
