The Pacers are the most epic collapse in NBA history.

Denver knocking out the top seed Seattle in the 94 playoffs is still the biggest upset.  Also think the Mavs getting knocked out by the Warriors in the 07 playoffs was a bigger upset but a least they had a excuse for that one, they where still not over collapsing against the Heat in the 06 finals.

Yeah I probably shouldn't have said "most." I forgot Seattle vs Denver, that definitely is a bigger upset. But Pacers vs Atlanta is worse than the Dallas upset. At least Denver and Golden State had a .500+ record, the Atlanta Hawks can even boast that. There's also the fact that before the All-Star break the Pacers were probably the best team in the league at that point. A team that was supposed to give Miami troubles is about to lose in the first round against a team whose upper management didn't even want them to be there and with a record below 0.500. It is at least one of the greatest collapses. It don't even think it counts as upset simply because they have sucked so bad after the All-Star break that everyone was questioning if they'd make it out of the first round.

Well Wizards vs Bulls Game 5 was the worst offensive game I've seen in a long time LOL.



Looks like the Clippers are still in it to win it which is a good thing because its really the only team in the West that has a legit chance of stopping the Heat from threepeating.



Wow Blatche missed his last 3 FTs. He choked the win away from the Nets.



Ugh looks like the Mavs are done oh well at least they put up a good fight. Surprised the Rockets won tonight. Lakers need a new coach. Lionel Hollis should get another job as head coach but deserves a much better team then the Lakers who will suck for a long time unless they manage to get the 1st pick in the draft and get top notch free agents.

I think Top 5 would be good enough. With almost everyone coming out the Top 5 picks are pretty good. There's Parker, Wiggins, Embiid, Randle, and Exum are all top tier draft picks. I doubt they'll be able to land any big free agents this year. Kevin Love next seems like the best option to be honest.

Yeah I guess, Lionel Hollis would be a good pick for the Timberwolfs also what they need most is someone that can coach them some defense.

I don't think any team, except the Knicks maybe, is going to hire a coach until after the playoffs. With so many coach's jobs on the line, I can see teams waiting it out before they choose one. So I'm not even sure if Hollins will get signed this year even if he deserves to. George Karl as well.



Yes I don't think anyone will be hired before the end of the playoffs either and a couple more guys will probably get fired also.



I like the Mags, but so glad Spurs won. They must redeem themselves after last year's final's Game 6.
