Oh yeah it was just a rumor, I forgot to update my first post with that.

Kobe did an interview a couple days ago though, and he was noticeably hesitant to support D'antoni.

Scored 25 points in a single quarter today, a career high, and against his old team nonetheless.

NBA needs to get rid of conferences.

The biggest reason I think we should do this is because of the number of good teams in the east and west.

There are only two really good teams in the East, but the West has the Thunder, Spurs, Rockets, Clippers, and Trail Blazers (Aldridge is back now), all of which could at least win their conference in the playoffs.

Also, the west currently has 5 teams below .500, and the east has 9!

I think we should keep divisions, but conferences seriously need to go.

The fact that Brooklyn, Washington, Charlotte, and Atlanta will all probably be in the playoffs despite them all (currently) having below .500 records, but that fact that Dallas may not get in despite having a record above .500 is absurd.

All 8 teams in the west will probably have above .500 records, and the east meanwhile will have at least 3 teams that have lost half of their games.

The first seed in the East pretty much comes down to tonight.

Yeah, I can't wait. The Pacers benched their entire starting lineup on Wednesday, they're pretty determined.

Wade's out though, along with Oden. Andersen may be out too.

Whelp, it really wasn't even close!

Lol, I stopped watching at the 5 minute mark in the 4th.

I believe the Heat showed their playoff caliber defense in that game. Chalmers was everywhere that game, he had to have had like five steals that game, if not more. He had like 10 deflections.

Apparently resting the starters did not make much of a difference at all. Hibbert was TERRIBLE, George missed like all of his threes in the fourth quarter, Hill was awful and I don't even think he scored, and West, Hibbert, and George picked up a ton of fouls.

Also the Heat torched the Pacer's defense. You're right, it wasn't even close.

As a Heat fan it was a great confidence-booster. Indiana looked completely lost, I don't know how a team that's playing that bad can even get back on track...

So with Dwyane Wade back the Heat lose to the HAWKS after that sensational beatdown last night of the Pacers.

At least Wade was an unstoppable force today though so was Jeff Teague. First game back for Wade on the first play he blocks a shot, then dunks at the other end. I think he made all of his shots except maybe 2 or 3.

Pacers down to Atlanta by 18 right now. Wow.
