Bullsi ušli u playoff, posljednji na zapadu bi trebao biti Sacramento ako danas dobije New Orleans

 sve se zna ko je unutra a ko vani za playofff....    bullsi su untra a Jazz je vani....

U tekmi koje je licila ne preseason jer su na kraju igrali sve papci iako je tekma bila napeta do zadnjih sekundi Planinic iskoristio te munute na kraju da postigne rekord sezone 13 poena... bljak... trebalo bi mu to biti bar 25 ali....

 Planinic and Jacque Vaughn, who scored five of his eight points in the fourth quarter, were the Nets' best players on the court in the final period.

Therefore, the winner of Tuesday night's Clippers-Memphis contest could end up with a better chance of facing Dallas (60-21) than Denver (44-36) in the first round.

"Dallas is a tough match for anybody, so whoever's sitting in sixth is a lot better off than the team sitting in fifth," Kaman said. "They're a beatable team, but we haven't beaten them this year.

"Obviously right now, Denver is probably a little bit easier for us than Dallas, so we're happy with the sixth spot right now. But I don't think anybody's going to do anything intentionally to try and lose a game because there's too much pride in this lockerroom. I think Mike is way too competitive for that. He gets mad over the smallest detail on defense, so how could he ever be like that?"

 

ne samo to nego sesti ima home court advantage... ta tekma u utorak bi mogla licit na onu bayer monaco kad su obojica isli dalje sa neodluceno... samo ovdi nema neodluceno... bit ce to prava parada... ako se dobro sicam na nekim azijskom ili africkim igrama se slicno desilo pa su momcadi namjerno htjele izgubit... posli ih je pokaznjavalo... sica li se ko?

evo sta je phil jackson rekao poslije utakmice sa sunsima:

If there was one thing Lakers coach Phil Jackson could take away from Sunday's game against Phoenix, it was that his longtime assistant, Tex Winter, is going to have to get some more paper for the playoffs.

"They're a team that plays at such a high rate of possessions that Tex ran out of paper in the first quarter," Jackson said of the Suns. "He was writing on the back of his standard sheet to try and keep track of how many shots were going up and how many possessions there were."

The Lakers led 35-22 after the first quarter and had taken 29shots. Eight of their 15 baskets came off layups or dunks. But Jackson did not want to see his team get caught up with playing at the same speed as the Suns.

"That's a higher pace, higher fatigue rate, particularly when you play against this team," Jackson said. "So it's important for us to understand how to do that."

Then again, the Lakers couldn't take away much from the game with Phoenix holding out Steve Nash and Raja Bell. The Suns were led by Shawn Marion's 29 points but shot 36.8 percent for the game and hit just 7 of 25 3-pointers.

"The difference-maker in games like this would be somebody like (Nash)," Jackson said. "But their defense is the same, the

offensive sequences they run, they're a disciplined team that runs the same things they would run regardless."
