This week in the NBA

[Youth N Asia]

So, the Lakers beat Detroit handily and the Bulls just ended the 3rd on a 15-0 run to take a 16 point lead into the 4th. Hopefully Chicago can keep it up.

 

EDIT: Bulls win by 19, and the bottom half of the playoff picture moves around. New eastern Conference playoff positions:

 

1. Cleveland

2. Orlando

3. Boston

4. Atlanta

5. Philadelphia

6. Miami

7. Chicago

8. Detroit

 

If Detroit could make number 7 then I think they'd have no problem with Orlando, it's a team they've owned the last few seasons and swept this year. The Detroit train wreck is just all kinds of amusing to me right now. Could look like a whole new team next season

Death, taxes and the Pacers choking away a fourth-quarter lead.
