    Refs really wanted to leave Mavs-Raptors game (as did many "fans" leaving in 4th when Mavs were only down like 8-9 with 4+ mins to go). Refs let everything go. Only 2 players had more than 1 trip to the line.

      Are the Cavs still coasting? Or is the defense just not good?

        I think they're coasting. Nothing to worry about, we're still getting Cavs-Warriors 3, we're just at the point of the storyline where they make it look like the obvious won't happen when we all know it will.

          With that said, how do people see top 4 in East ending up? Based on remaining schedule, my guess:
          1.Cavs:55-27
          2.Celtics:55-27
          3.Raptors:51-31
          4.Wizards:51-31

            It's coasting I think but still, it's a little frustrating. I think the whole team has that mentality of coasting the regular season and then pushing in the playoffs which I'm fine with, as long as we win the title.

            I think some people forget that Cleveland still only has 3 conference titles, and that two years ago they finished 7 games off top of the east when they overreact to these losses.

            As long as the defensively suspect guys like Kyrie, Love and, at least since his return, JR, show up when it matters in the playoffs, I don't care. Lebron will up his effort inevitably deeper into the playoffs and Thompson and Sanders can be used situationally in a rotation depending on how teams want to play against the Cavs. I'm not worried, but I could be wrong and the Cavs are already playing their best ball. In which case, the Finals might not happen.

                It doesn't measure the crucial part of the game that happens off the ball. The defensive baseline rotations, box outs, screens, lane-fills, ect.
                Devin Booker is an incredibly talented player though. A certain future All-Star.

                  Bucks laid a rotten egg vs a rival team fighting for playoff position.

                  Lousy D on the Bucks side and great shooting by the Bulls today.

                  Bulls didn't want series sweep and neither did the Bucks. lol

                    How'd the Clippers lose basically a 20 point lead with 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter and lose the game (AT HOME) ?

                          I need to queue up this Wiz/Cavs game since I missed it, but I never would have expected the Wizards to win against them on the second night of a B2B.

                            Cavs and rebuilding Celtics are now tied for 1st in the East after Boston's win yesterday.

                            The 2 teams meet again on April 5th.

                              I have my reservations with finishing as the top seed. On one hand it makes for a cute story. On the other you could be setting yourself up for a potential matchup with Toronto in the second round. Finishing in the two seed might be the better play. All depends on where Toronto finishes in the standings. That said, I still do not trust Boston against any team come playoff time. A first round exit in six or seven games would not come as a surprise at all. No matter the opponent.

                              On a different topic. Brooklyn can stop winning games anytime now.

                                Raptors are unpredictable team in playoffs. I think if they make it to 2nd round, whichever of Celtics/Cavs play the Raptors, the winner of that series will lose in the ECF. Would be one of those "grind it out, high contact" types of series which leaves winning team in worse shape than whoever was in the other series.
