Agree to disagree for me for the big picture.
I'm pretty sure there will be ebbs and flows in the standings in the next 30 games...that's why they are very meaningful, IMO.

This is nearly the best case scenario from Wright.
He's playing good D, attacking the lane, making the smart passes.
He just needs to keep working on that Jumper.
For the record, since it's been debated lately, right now:
Wright > Green

I think people were probably saying Green's potential >>> Wright's potential, no doubt right now Wright is the better player.

You talk like Wright is this All World player. He is what he is. He's not a starter in this league and never will be. Green however has the potential to be. Atleast he should get the chance anyway. Wright would be a great guy to have come off the bench probably a part of your 8 man rotation but that's about it.

Then you're an idiot?
Green has proven he can score on the drive, from the jumper and behind the arc. Anyone who can do all three of those things and play marginally okay defense and has decent decision making should be able to play in the NBA. Green has marginally okay defense (with room to improve) and has decent decision making (again, with room to improve).
I firmly believe Wright is a better player RIGHT NOW than Green. Wright has the potential, imo, to be a 5th starter or 6th or 7th man off the bench...nothing more.
Green has the chance of becoming a LeBron-like player. Not the next LeBron, but an extremely atheletic player who dunks like crazy, has an outside game and has the potential to become a very good shot blocker and defender.

What? What made you come to the conclusion? We haven't seen him even on the floor this season and when he has been he's showing his potential. Wow.
JET is getting his hands on the ball everytime Ben Gordon has it. I remember last time the two met Gordon made JET his bitch. JET's not having it this game.

Playing Houston in the first round is having home court. If Utah had not been the 4th seed, they don't advance.
Dallas needs to get in the top 4 if they want to advance.

They seemed to do alright in a Game 7 in Houston the year before. And last year, Utah won the first 2 games in Houston anyway--they didn't even have HCA, despite their higher seed.
Home court advantage is incredibly overrated in the playoffs, most of the time. The reason you see such a correlation between the team with HCA and the team winning the series is because the team with HCA is usually better.

Why didn't Bass even attempt a shot? Didn't he know how much time was left? Ugh.

Boston was 13-1 at home and 3-9 on the road in the playoffs and finals last year. If they don't actually get more games at home each round, do they still win either of the first two series?

Probably not, but I'm not saying that being at home isn't advantageous. In an individual game (read: Game 7), HCA is huge. But most series don't go to 7 games anyway,and a superior team is going to wrap up a series before then--usually--regardless of the order of their home games.

Barea waived off Dirk to take that shot. That should never happen. Your backup scrub point guard should not be waving off your best player. Whether he makes the shot or not.

The fact that Chicago really doesn't pose a threat in the low post with their centers, I'm not so sure we're going to see Hollins tonight. I have a feeling we'll see Singleton get some decent run tonight.
