[peternorth]

3 pt shootout on espn in 5 mins (looking at hte names its college.....from last year!)

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

Wizards have actually put in some decent efforts with Butler and Arenas out.

Could be a season of what ifs for them.

 

[eathb]

we always lose to Houston

 

[Big Jols]

Bobcats won 2day

 

[WakeUpPies]

i am starting to love adelman, can't wait for next season

 

[Biggie]

I'm not convinced they have anyone that can reasonably stop Duncan or Dirk or some of other taller/more dangerous threats in the play-offs ...

Sorry?

 

[TheNextBigThing]

I no we haven't got the W but the games again the Spurs and the Lakers today have been brilliant.

 

[bloodpumpsRnB]

Cleveland beat Chicago 95-86 in the first game since the blockbuster 11 player trade. Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Ben Wallace and Joe Smith were all playing against their old teams.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Phoenix better bloody fire up tomorrow. I go away for the weekend and we lose to Philly at home. Cheeeeeeeez.

 

[celtic_pride]

Celtics should sign Cassell tommorow BTW ...

Hmm good win today, lovely to see KG get back into his pre-injury MVP form as well.

Wasnt the squads meant to be finalized by March 1 or you cant play with your new team in the playoffs?

Or is that just you need to be waived by March 1?

Something like that. . .

yeah something like that

 

[celtic_pride]

Cassell apparently is still eligible for the playoffs, I think cause he got waived before March 1 or something (I have no idea how it works) ...

 

[peternorth]

OMG deron-ron stuffing it, 20 assists against kidds 9 with the jazz up not long to go now. this is the battle between not only gun PGs but between black players who look white (well deron ron plays for a white team )

 

[PHX]

Al Thornton got a nice double-double. 20 points, 10 turnovers.

Do-Over Rosters Can Include Recent Pickups.


ATLANTA, March 3 (AP) -- Shaquille O'Neal is no longer around, but Mike Bibby and Shawn Marion will be able to suit up for the NBA's first replay since 1982.
The league set guidelines for Saturday's do-over between the Atlanta Hawks and Miami Heat, who must complete the final 51.9 seconds of their Dec. 19 overtime game.
The Hawks left the court that night with a 117-111 victory, but commissioner David Stern struck it from the books after the home team's stat crew mistakenly ruled that O'Neal, then playing for Miami, had fouled out with less than a minute to go in overtime.
O'Neal has since been traded to Phoenix, but the NBA said Monday that both teams can fill out any openings on their 12-man active roster with players acquired since the disputed game.
That means the Heat can dress Marion and Marcus Banks, who came from the Suns in the Shaq deal. Likewise, the Hawks will be able to use Bibby, who was picked up from Sacramento just ahead of the trade deadline.
Miami has 10 players who were active Dec. 19 still on its roster, leaving two openings for the makeup minute. The Heat's other options are Jason Williams, Smush Parker and Joel Anthony.
The Hawks, who gave up four players for Bibby, have nine active players still around from the disputed game. Also eligible to be added for the replay are Josh Childress, Jeremy Richardson and Speedy Claxton.
Miami will have the ball when the game resumes, trailing 114-111. After the replay is completed, the teams will get a 15-minute break, then return to the court for their regularly scheduled contest at Philips Arena.
The night is vitally important to the Hawks, who are battling for a playoff spot in the Eastern Conference and can hardly afford to squander an apparent win against hapless Miami, which has the NBA's worst record (11-46).
Stern also fined the Hawks $50,000, ruling they were "grossly negligent'' in failing to address the mistake.
Miami's protest was the first granted by the NBA since December 1982, when then-NBA commissioner Larry O'Brien upheld a request for a replay by the San Antonio Spurs after their 137-132 double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers the previous month.
The Spurs and Lakers finally finished the game in April 1983, with San Antonio winning 117-114.

thats awesome

 

[Inferno]

I said it when it happened: do Miami really want to win???

They are doing this because Shaq was fouled out, Shaq doesn't even play for the Heat anymore so the problem of not having Shaq for the last 50 seconds is still there. WTF???

 

[Borgsta]

How on Earth did the diggler only get a flagrant 1 for that foul?

I think it's probably in Miami's best interests to tank the rest of the season ...

 

[PHX]

Apparently Jameer and Dooling are out again tonight.

Makes me worried about the damage Calderon and Ford could do to us.
