The Bulls are the most complete team in the East...hands down!  However, the Heat will always have the best two players on the court whenever they play.

I think this will be the case throughout they playoffs unless they meet the Lakers in the playoffs.  Then they'll have two of the top three players on the court.  I think Wade is the 3rd best player in the NBA (I won't get into who's #1).

Kobe said a few weeks ago that they don't care what seed they are.

He lied.   :D

He couldn't have been telling the truth because....

With Oklahoma City being a team that I think is capable of upsetting Lakers, Lakers need home court...

Anyone with any kind of basketball I.Q. would choose homecourt advantage over playing on the road.  I think Kobe was trying to take the pressure off his team and say "we'll win regardless of seeding".

But of course he'd PREFER to have homecourt advantage. 

Oh, and if the Spurs start playing the way they did earlier in the season they can ABSOLUTELY win it all.  They were crazy good for a stretch.

I still think the Thunder is missing something. KD needs to bulk up so he can bang down in the post more and they need another consistent scorer. BTJMHO Perk is a defensive stopper, he's not going to score consistently.

They have one.  His name is Russell Westbrook and he's averaging a little over 21 ppg.

What I meant was they need a 3rd consistent scorer....I hate to say it but to win a championship you have to have a BIG 3 of some type. James Harden could be that guy but right now he's inconsistent. When KD and Russell Westbrook have bad games, who will step up. That's just my opinion.

I don't think Phil Jackson is going to play the starters very much tonight, and I pretty much know Popovich isn't going to play his starters much. Too risky, and no gain. Tonight's Lakers-Spurs game won't mean much.

I disagree...the Lakers need the win to move into 2nd place.  I believe the Spurs would like a W to maintain homecourt advantage.

Anyone, in the league, would love to have homecourt during the playoff.  However, I think certain teams need it more than others...JMT.

Spurs have already clinched homecourt. Pop didn't give the starters much time last game, and, unless it starts getting out of hand, there's really no need for him to give them any significant minutes this game either. Pacing for the playoffs.

I see. Hopefully it isn't as serious as it looks. :-\ They're calling it a hyperextended knee.

He sure is. If I were the Lakers, I would trade him and someone else to the Magic for Dwight Howard.

That's interesting you brought that up because there's been some talk about that. Who else would be good to trade? Magic might want Odom but I don't want Odom to leave Lakers.

I would give up Odom and Bynum in a minit for Dwight Howard.Who know's, they could always throw a draft pick or two in there to keep Odom. :-\

The Magic won't give up the best big man in the NBA for a chronically injured big man (Bynum) and a 30-something career underacheiver (Odom).  If they're forced to trade him they'll a King's ransom in return.
