Dont give me the let the kids develop crap either. The GOAT has 3 games left I think we all wanna see him play 40 minutes a game.

Actually, i'd think the TRUE Wizards fans would like to see some semblance of forward thinking, but hey, screw that, it's MJ.

I dunno, based on a random sample (from bigfooty), 100% of people who follow the Wizards are acxtually more Jordan fans than Wizard fans.

N.B. Random sample too small (1) to be taken any notice of.

I'd rather have Milwaukee finish 8th and have Detroit in the first round than finish 7th and take on New Jersey. We'd have a better chance of going through to the conference semi's, we match-up better and Ben Wallace surely won't be close too 100%. Mase can push him around a bit and hopefully he'll have it tough and won't be able to a hell of alot of jumping with that knee.

You'd hope Wallace is around the 70% mark. Then I'd give Mason a chance.

With the Suns win over San Antonio, they take the final spot in the West.

What youngster is gonna take Jordans spot in the lineup anyway? Jeffries is injured, Dixon is 2 guard who can also play point. Brown is PF and Haywood is a center. Stack may not play the last 2 games either so expect MJ to get heavy minutes.

Pistons win, Nets lose
Pistons have the 1st seed and will play the loser of Milwaukee v Orlando game.
Actually wouldn't mind the Bucks dropping this game, much rather face Detroit than NJ

Hornets on a rampage

It happens every year. The Hornets peak at the right moment. The Hornets have won four games in a row, and should have no worries winning their final game at home to win their 5th game in a row and finish with 47 wins, their best effort since '98. It seems as though Baron "the man" Davis is back to his old self back from an injury, and with Mashburn assisting him with some baskets, the Hornets look dangerous. There is a BIG chance the Hornets can finish 4th by winning their last game, just like last year.

No matter what, it will be Hornets V Pacers. Home court advantage is yet to be decided.

Come on, Hornets!!

The East is pretty open at the moment, Hornets could sneak up and reach the conference finals if they are healthy. NJ is the toughest team and hardest to beat in a 7 game series IMO in the east, hornets handled them nicely today. If the Bucks fall out early in the playoffs i'll be rooting for either the Hornets or Sixers.

The Magic may want to lose to the Bucks on the final day and in turn play Detroit instead of NJ. Jersey are kind of like the Lakers of the East, nobody wants to play them. Sure they have been hot and cold all year but they have been their and done that in the playoffs so they now how to play in the prime time. Plus Kidd is the best PG in the world!

3 v 6 will hold the most interest, likely to be Boston v Philadelphia. Boston lose in the Eastern Conference Finals last season so they have what it takes but their team is a little different this season. The 76ers led by Iverson well they could go right through the East. KT has been a huge addition to their team, aswell as Hill who brings some veteran experience.
