Final PRESEASON Game thread: Bulls vs. Bucks
Starting lineup, heavy minutes, Deng and Gordon (supposedly)...it'll almost feel real. Lets hope Tyrus doesn't pass the ball right into Skiles' nuts. Besides that I can't see how he would relinquish the starting job based on a preseason game, but who knows what to think anymore.

Bobcats not even close to being playoff team, network staff says
File this under "for what it’s worth.’’ ESPN just e-mailed me predictions by 10 staffers (Ric Bucher, Marc Stein, Greg Anthony, etc.). All 10 had the Bobcats missing the playoffs. The consensus was the Bobcats would finish 12th among 15...

The Hawks beat the Hornets
The Hornets dropped to 3-4 in the preseason with yesterday's 107-98 loss to the Hawks. Highlights included Hilton Armstrong's 25-point, 14-rebound performance, a nice contribution off the bench from Melvin Ely, and Peja Stojakovic playing 25 minutes without wincing. On the down side, we had…

Golden Break: Respect 08
On February 28, after losing 113-83 to the Chicago Bulls, Don Nelson said "it doesn't look it's going to work out this year." On May 3, the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks in Game 6 to seal the biggest upset in NBA playoff history. "We Believe" went from a lone homemade…

Pistons win … but lose Rodney Stuckey
You know how everyone always used to talk about Detroit’s knack for avoiding injuries the past few years? Ah, the good old days … Lately, it seems no one can stay healthy. Amir Johnson missed all but 15 minutes of the preseason with a sprained ankle, Nazr Mohammed missed five games…

Final: Portland 109, Seattle 107
Seattle lost its fifth straight preseason game, and again could not hold onto a lead late in falling to Portland. Seattle native Brandon Roy led the Trail Blazers with 14 of his 22 points in the last six minutes. Roy, who has been nursing a bruised left heel, wasn't even supposed to play in the…

What COULD You Get For Curry?
Okay, yes, I know, I know, Isiah Thomas would never in a gazillion years trade Eddy Curry, as too much of Isiah’s identity in New York is wrapped around acquiring Eddy Curry. The Suns could call and say, “We want to become a post-up team, we’ll give you Shawn Marion for…

Doomsday averted
(with apologies to Ron Huberman) I was going to take more shots at Skiles for potentially starting Aaron Gray tomorrow (and thus indicating he'd be in the starting lineup). On the one hand it's been two days of it already, but I'll say that TYI's post on the subject is not completely…

Halftime: Seattle 60, Portland 56

End of First: Portland 31, Seatle 24
Seattle was down by as many as 13 points in the opening quarter but managed to cut the deficit to seven by the end of the quarter. Defensively, Seattle still is giving up a lot of easy buckets inside. LaMarcus Aldridge did most of the damage for Portland, finishing with 13 points in the quarter.…
