will BKN gamble on takin a last shot or will they try to go for a quick one with the very slime chance to get the ball a final time?

thats gotta be a very big shot comming up - not just to win but it could well be the difference between making it to the playoffs and not makin it

still looks like we need two more wins - the other team arepushing hard too - just as expected - my guess was 4 of the last 9 games to have at least a slim chance - but it looks more like 5 of 9

bad thing is we will most likely have to take one of the CLE games home - the bucks are such a bad matchup for us - unlikely we win that one - maybe if they win against CLE today so they make it into the playoffs for sure so they can reast some of their overgrown squad

I don't see any reason for the Bucks to play their regular players that game. Last game of season, and their spot is assured.

unless they lose every game - but yeah they r as good as thru - I didnt know which game it was we have to play em - it beeing the last game helps I guess

Hey guys. With school and all I don't normally get to watch Celtics games. But since it's spring break I had some free time. So I tuned into ESPN and watched our beloved Celtics beat up the Pistons.
For a lot of games I've simply been reading what's good and bad about the games in these forums and I always hear how Smart has always been great on defense despite his offense lacking polish. But as I watched today, I noticed that he was not very good at defending the pick and roll. He seemed to be unable to get through the screen, and Jackson was scoring well from this play. Is this what normally happens (is he not that good at defending the pick and roll) or was this an anomaly?
