Many surprising win loss in the NBA today.
OKC after beating #1 team SAS lost to a Howardless Rockets.
TOR beating slumping and struggling Pacers.
MIN beating MIA by a hairline.
ATL beating CLE and hanging on for their life for the 8th seed in the East with a NYK loss to WAS .
PHX beating POR forcing a tight race for the last two seats in the West with MEM and DAL also defeating their respective opponents.

It's a very exciting down to the wire finish for the last spot in both east and west.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

2 great games today.  Watched both

NYK WAS  -- Beal with the game winner and Melo with the game loser

MIA MIN -- 2 OT.  Love with a crucial triple

Rio had the chance to win the game twice for the Miami Heat. Sablay yung FTs nya.

If the Suns miss out in the WC playoff race, the Toronto Raptors' coach, Dwane Casey, could bag the Coach of the Year award instead of Jeff Hornacek. What he's done for the Raptors this year, given the personnel they have, is impressive. I know it's the East, but still quite an achievement.

Pacers suddenly lost their mojo.

Pacers suddenly lost their mojo.

If they continue to play this way, mukhang first round exit bagsak nila tsk tsk.

[the_w0rks]

Man. The Pacers lost their steam. Started strong but couldn't maintain it. No homecourt advantage for them against the Heat then if they meet. Sayang.

[Seryo]

Parang naalala ko bulls sa Pacers team an to ngayon, Did great all through out the season tapos first round exit. Ang sakit. Wag naman sana though. Sila lang ang may kaya sa Heat e.

Nice win for Dallas today, Memphis is gonna loose so medyo may buffer na kami to get the 7th seed for reals this time. I hope GSW lose today too.

 yari ang Heat sa second round

I hope GSW lose today too.

Malabo. Utah Tankers kalaban e! haha

Malabo. Utah Tankers kalaban e! haha

Hahaha! Oo nga e! Ugh. Phoenix has to slow down too. They just handed Portland a lost. Damn it.

[ayosbathere]

^^ hindi kaya .. umiiwas lang IND sa seed# 4/5.. pero hindi rin iba pa rin HCA this ECF

NCAA talk lang:

UCONN wins the tourney. Sayang kinapos yung freshmen 5 ng UK. They were highly touted at the beginning of the year coz they were able to get a lot of top recruits from class 2013.

Masiyado nakafocus kay Juliu Randle yung attention pero di pwede i-overlook yung Harrison twins and James Young. Pure scorer tong si James Young who will end up somewhere in the top 15 sa draft.

John Calipari rumored as next Lakers coach?
If I remembered correctly he had an unsuccessful stint with the New Jersey Nets and was replaced by Byron Scott who brought the Nets to back to back Finals appearance.

[the_w0rks]

Naku. No thanks. Calipari has a great system coaching and recruitment-wise sa UK. Wag na lang.

I also agree those great collegiate coaches don't really do great in the NBA coz they have to deal with those super stars.
One example was former Kentucky Coach Rick Pitino would didn't really last long coaching the Ewing led Knicks.

[Kd Jb]

Panalo nets. Di tinawagan ng foul si plumlee. Looks like he hit james on the last play. Still a win is a win. Hehe. 4-0 against the heat this season

Dirk just passed Oscar Robertson in the in All-time NBA scoring list. He's the only white guy in the list. 
Great year for Dirk.

Nash just passed Mark Jackson in assists in today's game against the Rockets. Would've been more epic if he broke Jackson's record against the Warriors on 4/11.

I just noticed KING JAMES written on the back of LBJ's jersey.
Is that allowed in the NBA? Using nicknames?
Did he add KING into his real name? or did he just considered himself as KING?

I also noticed Joe Johnson using J J on the back of his jersey.

Nets are 4-0 against the Heat this season so it wont be easy sailing for the Heat should they meet the Nets in the eastern semis.
Nagreklamo pa si KING JAMES after watching the replay but as far as I'm concern, the KING should DUNK over the Giant in front of him to clear all doubts.
Looking again on the replay LBJ lost grip on the ball using one hand and didnt jumped high enough for a power dunk over Plumlee.

i think they have special nights for those jerseys. ray allen's is j.shuttlesworth and etc. forgot what they call for this type of games when they use these jerseys.

It's a monicker night jersey.  Even the Nets are wearing theirs:

JJ - Johnson, Truth - Pierce, D-Will - Williams


My favorite is Ray Allen's Jersey:

I think it's a clean block alright.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

^ I don't know if it was a foul, sa slomo replay nag holding hands pa si LBJ at Plumlee sa ere on that play. Nag lock 'yung mga fingers nila 

[ayosbathere]

^^parang push ni King James sa likod ni Paul George at hindi tinawagan ng foul si King James then Talo IND for not completing the last shot. Asar talo si Paul George


atleast yong kay Plumlee naka butata at hindi na complete yong last shot ni King James... Asar talo si King James

[dpogs]

pinakaasar talo doon... 4-0 sila ng nets sa reg. season he hehe...

tingnan na lang natin sa playoffs kung magkatapat ang dalawang team na to...

[rusty]

Pacers will sit all of their starters vs. the bucks. I hope that they get their act together once the playoffs start.
