Miami loses out or Boston loses out (both won't happen, they play each other), and Charlotte wins, then the Miami-Boston series won't happen. Charlotte will jump one of them.

Heat vs. Boston should be a fun one

Damn, it's possible that the 8th seed in the East could have a better record than the 5th seed in the West. Been a while since that's happened.

Damn, didnt think he would be playoff eligible. I remember when back in 2010/11 he was a great player. Don't like to see the Heat picking up good players.

There was talk about the Cavs looking at him as an extra shooter. He was eligible because he wasn't on a team before the waiver deadline. I believe he was free to sign with a team the same time Beasley was.

An extra shooter isn't going to matter. The Cavs already have the best team money can buy; now its time to sleep walk through the Eastern Conference and pray the Warriors lose or the Warriors have an off series in the Finals. No doubt we stomp every other team on the way there though.

I think Heat Cavs ECF is in the works. (Not sure if that's how the schedule plays out or not)

I'm pretty sure the Heat are locked into the 4 or 5. So it would be the 2nd round.

$850 on Stubhub will get you a seat to Kobe's last game.

$342 and you can watch the Warriors likely set the single season record for most wins. Kinda surprised at that difference, actually.

Both are official now. Cavs and Pistons close-out the season tomorrow night in Cleveland.

Houston should beat the Kings.

Definitely. I'd be surprised if they won by less than 15. I dont even think Sacramento is playing most of their starters.

I saw that story too, but wasn't sure if it was for this game or for the previous one.

So basically the Utah/Lakers game is almost irrelevant, since Houston SHOULD handle the Kings.

Houston killing Sac-town.

Miami was up 24 in 2Q and now down 2 in 4th. They got outscored 25-5 in 3rd.

Washington beating Atlanta.

Fuck the Hawks for losing to Washington without wall and beal. If the Hawks could have pulled this off, the heat would be the 6 seed.

Video tribute was really, really good.

Everybody from Bron, KD, Shaq, Pau, LO, and ended it with Jack. Good stuff.
