  No I don't know, just looked at the box score.

  As long as they make the playoffs i dont think it matters too much what their regular season record is lol

  Lake Show back to their winning ways.
  
  Afte 2 L's in a row they rattle off 4 double digit wins in a row. The last 2 games saw Barnes and then Pau go perfect from the field. Lakers are the only team in the League with a double digit margin of victory.

  It will either be LA or Boston this year. Once Boston gets healthy, especially Kendrick Perkins, they'll be dangerous.

  Was looking at the Celtics/Hawks box score and I just found it funny in the +/- category for Celtics the starters were:
  
  Shaquille O'Neal + 26
  Kevin Garnett + 32
  Paul Pierce + 35
  Ray Allen + 33
  Nate Robinson + 26

  17.
• wildcats20

  

  The Spurs have quietly won 11 in a row and are leading the West right now. Not sure if they can keep this level of play up, considering they are ANCIENT, but they are playing some damn good basketball right now.
• bigdaddy2003

  

  Yeah, if the Spurs keep it up I could see them making it to the West finals at least.
• wildcats20

  

  I don't really buy into the +/- stat, but I found some interesting numbers...
  
  The best 5 combo is the Lakers starters(Kobe, Pau, LO, Artest, Fish) at a +16.
  The best 4 combo is Kobe, Fish, Artest, Pau at a +19.
  The best 3 combo is the Raptors' Barbosa, Bargnani, Johnson at a +21.
  The best 2 combo is Barbosa and Bargnani at +23.
  And the best individual is LO at a ridiculous +27.

  They will win 50+, but I thought the "This team will break Chicago's record" talk was ridiculous. Especially the comments JVG was making about the Heat.

  Normally I find your posts idiotic, but +1 here.
• like_that

  

  Also lol at the Heat. I guess they aren't going to break the Bulls record.
• Trueblue23

  

  I'll say 54 for Miami

  Actually I was happy with them tonight because they actually let them play. I'm sorry but in a game where there was 55 Fouls & 77 FT's combined there was no flow to the game, it was just parade to the FT Line and 2 very shady calls and or non-calls in the final 19 seconds drastically changed the outcome of that game. BUT like l also said earlier on Sunday If Boston would just have had the same intensity & focus like they did today they can just look dominating but they like to take games off and that hurt them last year. And compared to Sunday's game tonight there was 27 Fouls called (14) Boston (13) Atlanta and 35 FT's Attempted (18) Boston (17) Atlanta & there was much more of a flow to the game.

  No but Eric Spolster(sp) is officially on the clock and maybe we should do a prediction poll on how many more games before Pat Riley tells Eric he needs to spend more time with his family.
  
  Also it wasn't like the Pacers played well last night. They shot 41% from the field hit only 8-23 from 3 and Miami shot 25 more free throws and the Pacers still won by 16.

  Wow. Miami actually sucks. That's pathetic.

  JaBron Lames is complaining now that the Heat aren't having any fun. lolz.

  I bet Pat Riley is doing a lot of thinking today.
