I just noticed that the Sixers had 17,000 in attendance when they broke their long losing streak. I think that's a pretty amazing number.

Those numbers are always paid tickets, not "true" attendance. There could have been less than 7,000 actually there.Originally Posted by Boston Red
The Atlanta and Charlotte franchises for years routinely have watching the game one tenth to one sixth of their announced attendances

And the Twolves are officially eliminated from playoff contention yet again
There are going to be 4 awesome first round series in the Western Conference, no matter the matchups. I can't wait.

And Dallas gets in. If Phoenix misses out, that would be something as they dominated at times nearly all of the top teams in the league.

Apparently Adam Silver is trying to take the MLB approach.
Come to the NBA straight out of high school and play in the D - League or attend college for three years.
Small market teams who end up in the lottery all the time can't be used as the minor league system for the more attractive Free Agent teams.

Conventional wisdom says that the top-four teams in the West advance. You just won't find a lot of people believing that the Clippers, Rockets, Spurs and Thunder won't advance. But, last year two of the Top-4 seeds failed to advance past the first round.
I think it's pretty likely that one lower-seed, if not two again, advance in the West through Round 1. Which two those are, I have no idea, though, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick Golden State to defeat the Clippers in Round 1.
I still think the Pacers win it all, just as I did before the season began.

Couldn't disagree more. Bogut is hurt for GS. The most likely round one upset in the west is Portland. They are 9-1 in their last ten and seem to have recovered from their midseason swoon. As for the Pacers, I do think they will make the ECF, but Hibbert has been unplayable for a few weeks. They are not deep enough to beat Miami and whoever comes out of the West.

I'll be in my seat for the games, but I don't see how they're going to be able to overcome the flops and foulshots that Harden will get during critical moments.

I wouldn't worry that much about Harden. He is actually a worse defender than Lillard.

Way to show up Pacers.
Blake Griffin definitely poured water on that Warriors fan on purpose.

Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
The Pacers are done. Even if they win this series, and they probably will anyway, they are done. This team is broken chemistry wise. A trade or coaching change must happen. I'd prefer a trade honestly. These guys can't play together. If I see a guy take a contested shot while a teammate has been standing wide open for 10 seconds ONE MORE TIME I'm going to punch something.

Yeah the mystery of the Pacers is weird. Maybe in 10 years we'll see a 30 for 30 about their season.
The Clippers vs. Warriors series is gonna be fun to watch. I hope it goes 7.
The Pacers are struggling but they will win
