Damn.....Robin Lopez and Serge Ibaka both ejected after throwing punches at each other. Both will get multiple game suspensions after that melee.

Booker is a baller. it's crazy that a 20 year old dropped 70 in a game. And he only made 4 3's

The Bulls could have gained a game on the teams surrounding them on the playoff list. Instead, they got blown out by the 76er's at home.

Niang might be in line to get on the floor over the next week or so. The Pacers had already lost Glenn Robinson III for a couple weeks due to a calf strain, and last night Rodney Stuckey and Al Jefferson both left the game with injuries that might keep both players out for a while. I hope opportunity is finally knocking for Georges. Just in time to crack the rotation before the playoffs start.

so about Tyronn Lue...

LOL, what about him? Cleveland looks like a disinterested team ready to get on with the postseason. Not the first time it's happened and probably not the last. If they make another Finals run who's going to give a **** about a late season slump? Ask the 15-16 Warriors how important the regular season is.

Cleveland will be ready for the playoffs. They've had a lot of injuries and added new players. It just takes time. Never bet against Lebron

Bulls move into playoff position with win over Atlanta. 3 way tie with Indiana and Miami. Both Indy and Miami have 4 games left against teams with records better than theirs. Bulls only have games remaining with teams with a lower w/l record than them. If Bulls choke away a playoff spot it will be specularly pathetic.

Even when they find their way, the Pacers still lose. This time PG and LeBron put on a show in the Cavs' 2OT win. I hope Indy can hang on for the seven or eight seed just for a first round matchup with Cleveland. It would only go five games at most but LeBron and PG clearly bring out the best in each other. Fun to watch.

The Bulls are going to make the playoffs. Their remaining schedule has tissue paper softness.
