Just wondering what was the purpose of this thread? This info can be easily found on the web, newspapers, and ESPN. Before I read this thread I thought it was a discussion about the Western Teams but it was just stats.

I'll admit, I was bored when I did it, but I'll be adding some interesting to that everyday like what certain teams need to do in order to clinch a playoff spot, or what has to happen to be eliminated or whatever. I know that a bunch of websites have/are doing the same thing, but I'm putting in here since no one else has.

Well i know Minnesota won't be making the playoffs this year. They'll be sittin at home with me watching them hahahahahahahahahahaha. They lost to Atlanta Saturday hahahahahahahahahahaha. I know Kevin Garnett is very upset with his teammates for the way they've played half ass this year. Latrell Sprewell & Sam Cassell's dumb asses complaining about their contracts. You can tell Latrell is ******** cause anytime a man says he can't feed his family making a million dollars a year, somethin is wrong hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Sam Cassell is gonna take a trip to his hometown Mars this summer so he can hook up with his alien friends since he looks like a alien hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Michael Olowakandi is gonna go get a haircut & shave this summer since he won't be doing anything else hahahahahahahahahahahaha.

WHAT??? You mean to tell me those ********s lost to the Hawks? Well since that's the case they don't deserve to make the playoffs

I suggest Kevin McHale better start searching for a coach besides himself.
