The Rockets crushed the Bulls 118-86 and you'll note Houston was +39 with EG on the court.  Vonleh did have a double double for the Bulls.  Vic back in a shooting groove with 24 pts. on 9-12 FG's plus adding 6 assists in the Pacers win.  Pacers have a good chance to reach 50 wins on the season after most of the pre-season pundits only expected around 35 wins.

This will be my last post until Sunday, April 8.  I'll be incommunicado and without internet service until then.  So Romeo, hold off on any announcement for another week.  I don't want to miss an epic btb event.   

Troy got a starting assignment tonight for the Knicks.    TB and the South Bay Lakers won their first round playoff game.   They advance to the next round of G-League playoffs and will face the Reno Bighorns on Tuesday, April 3, at 9:00 ET on ESPNU.  Single elimination game.  If they win this game, they will play in the conference finals on April 5th.  Winner of that game advances to a best of 3 championship series slated for April 8, 10 & 13 (if necessary).

So Vince Carter kind of looks like a giant D-bag now. There are goonish things, and then there is what he did.

 

Glad to hear McCaw has feeling back in his legs.

I'll never understand the Paces fans who want to play LeBron in the playoffs. How many times do you have to lose to a guy before you try avoiding him

If at first you don't succeed try and try again.

I think we match up somewhat well with the Cavs but LeBron has never lost in the first round. I just don't imagine that streak ending.

Took 3 of 4 from the Cavs in the reg season and the one we lost was by 6 on the road without Turner. Cavs scare me zero. Of course they don't really worry anyone.

Lebrons team is always different in the playoffs. The reason why is up for debate but his teams are always tougher. 

I tend to think it's the refs

lmao, sure. I mean sure we never played this version of the Cavs. Sure LeBron kicks our @$$ every year, but um, uh, I sure am a Pacers fan

Ok

I never said I wanted the Cavs.. they simply just don't scare me. They aren't an elite team.

This is funny. The Pacers haven't played the Cavs since they traded away half of their team. LeBron is having one of the best seasons of his career, and he always turns it up a notch in the playoffs. 

Oladipo is only shooting 44% from the field and 32% from 3 since the all-star break. He's either in a slump, or he's crashed back down to earth after his explosive start. Hope for the Cavs if you want, but it doesn't seem wise to me.

Again.. didn't say I wished for them. They just don't scare anyone. They aren't all that good.

Were they good last year?

Meh.. certainly better then this year. Their second best player isn't good enough. And again.. we've taken 3 of 4 from them.. and we're better as a team now and not just Victor doing it all.

They went 51-31 during last year's regular season. They're 47-30 right now. Not much different. Besides, LeBron's teams shouldn't be judged by the regular season. They looked "meh" during the regular season last year and then swept the first two rounds of the playoffs and then beat #1 seed Boston in 5. 

The Cavs team that the Pacers took 3 of 4 from last year is much different than the team they have now. I'm not sure much can be gathered from those games.
