And Golden State come up with the series win. Didn't see the game, but Bogut put up good numbers with 14 points 21 rebounds 3 assists and 4 blocks. 100% Superstar, Yup

Did we get close to picking a song for the team to run out to? Or maybe we could just get this playing in the coaches box. Jack Jack 5.4 This is just a great song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0laDzqdzoSU

Brooklyn look like losing again. Pretty disappointing stuff. Bobcats sacked their coach a few days agao, I suspect Brooklyn will be doing the same in the not too distant future. A few things I missed from the regular season. Mavs finally got to .500 with a few games left in the season, so Dirk could shave off the beard (I wonder if that's what inspired Watts?) And I maybe Neeld can take something out of the report on the Wizards playing group. (Call me cruel, but I can't stop laughing at the headline)

Good idea Macca. New York have some injury concerns. As do Denver and Chicago. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Tips (Winners in dark italics) OKC vs Houston San Antonio vs LA Lakers Denver vs Golden State LA Clippers vs Memphis Miami vs Milwaukee New York vs Boston Indiana vs Atlanta Brooklyn vs Chicago Edit: The basketball world moves quickly, 3 coaches gone already. Scott was fired by the Cleveland Cavaliers, Frank was ousted by the Detroit Pistons and Doug Collins resigned as coach of the Philadelphia 76ers, all three Thursday, a day after the end of the regular season. There's talk about Cleveland being interested in Phil Jackson. Never a dull moment.

I keep forgetting about Mills and the Spurs. Probably because he's seldom got any meaningful minutes for most of the season. I was excited for Mills last season, but with no gametime it's probably put me off a bit. Still, now that we're here, Go Aussie, Go Patty! Bogut and GSW coming up against Denver doesn't look too promising. But GSW look to have a pretty solid team, if Bogut can stay healthy and they could be good for a few years of playoff action. Any news on Nash? Blake has put in some incredible efforts the last few games, but surely Nash would be a cut above. Oh yeah, Harden against OKC. How good will that be. So many great games ahead. The playoffs will be a welcome distraction that for sure.

Lakers win in OT, clinch the 7th seed. First round against the Spurs. Game on.

Pretty incredible day of basketball ahead. Should be great. Carn the Lakers.

And here's a live version of Lead Balloon. I saw Liam at the Sound Relief concert a few years ago. He was doing all this funky loop stuff, dashing from instrument to instrument. Pretty clever bloke really, I wonder where he got it from?

Here's a double post from Liam Finn's debut album I'll Be Lightning. Jack Jack 5.3

I've been listening to a jazz compilation for most of the day. It's got some great tunes. I had a look on youtube but couldn't find many of the songs. So for anyone with spotify, enjoy. And if you don't have spotify yet, it's well worth getting (It's a free app for pcs, but requires a subscription for mobiles) Jack Jack's Jazz 3.9 Jazz For A Sunday Morning

I'm just chatching up with the news. No one wants to see Kobe go down. He's got such an incredible fighting spirit, it's quite hard to see him so down and disillusioned in his press conferences. But as the great man says himself "If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear". I'll half expect to see him come off the bench in the playoffs. Even to see him on the sidelines I'm sure will be a great lift for the team.

That's a disappointing response pantaloons. The playoffs are a completely different game to the regular season. Just having Kobe on the team is a massive difference to begin with. "Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise." Second time in 19 years? Really? I didn't know that. Should be a good series with Denver, interested to see who will stand up. And on another note, is it me or are the GSW guards greedy and completely under utilising some of the better big men in the league? Thompson and Curry are taking a huge numer of shots each game, Bogut and Lee wouldn't have half the opportunities they do. Seems strange (or is Bogut clouding my judgement?). Celtics and Knicks should be a ripper. Not sure the Celtics can get that far without Rondo, but they're the kind of team that won't die wondering. I'm looking forward to the Nets Bulls series. Not overly confident of the Nets, but should still be good. What are the chances of seeing Rose back in the team, coming off the bench for the first series? After the last few months of speculation around Rose it would add some drama to the playoffs.

Nice. You can't have too much of a good thing. Jack Jack 5.2

Well Detroit are long out of the playoff equation. Brooklyn are in 4th place in the eastern conference, just. But, realistically, they're only making up the numbers. I hope that Bogut can strike some form in the next few weeks and GSW can go deep into the playoffs. But even that seems unlikely. Lakers seem shaky again, the Jazz have just taken back 8th position. It's interesting looking at teams performances and comparing against payrolls. On other news, some coaches have been getting more active amongst some of the leagues. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SSZtyvz0NnQ But the big news of the week is Phil Jackson signing up to Twitter. Hilarity ensued when he made his first tweet. As it turn out it was just very clever marketing for his new book. But it was funny nonetheless. (I thought he had 13 rings?)

I've no idea who plays this song or who or what Lupin III is. But it's a bloody good tune. Jack Jack's Jazz 3.8

My only criticisms are that the episodes don't go for long enough and there's not enough of them. The Michael Richards episode is absolutely brilliant.

I suspect that the level of complexity, going from basketball to AFL, would be exponential. I think that some other similar sport would have to pick it up first to make it a little more cost effective for the AFL. Bloody interesting nonetheless. Miami are 26 and counting. But the way they've been digging themselves holes I can't see it going on for much longer. Their next few games are Orlando, Chicago, Hornets, Spurs and New York. I'd be very surprised if they made it to 30. It was just a matter of time right?

Wow, that's a very interesting article. I can certainly see the merits of using it in basketball. I wonder if we get the same kind of data from the gps units? Albeit only getting one side of the story.

The Miami streak is still on. 22 and counting, equal 2nd all time record. I must say though that, stats wise, it really showed where the Heats deficiencies are and that's the boards. I didn't see the game but I find it quite inconceivable that a team can have 24 offensive rebounds to 2 and still lose by 17 points. What the hell is going on there? The DeAndre Jordan dunk has overshadowed most highlights of late (and for good reason too, it was awesome). But Brook Lopez showing a bit of brotherly love wasn't too bad either. And here's DeAndre's dunk for good measure. Larry Sanders approves. What's the latest with Kobe? I haven't read much since his first quarter exit.

Scott Weiland's toxic vibe has done it again. It's been recently announced that he's been kicked from STP... again. I'd like to think that it opens up the opportunity for Velvet Revolver to get back together, but who am I kidding. Oh well, at least I finally got to see them live a few years ago. Jack Jack 5.1

Crikey, it has been a while since I posted something. Jack Jack's Jazz 3.7

Yeah, a bit short sighted of me not to nice the Jazz. Shame on me! What a game yesterday by the Lakers, come from behind win. We can only hope that the Lakers get through to the finals, it's good for the sport. But they are leaving their run late, and there's already a lot being reported on niggling injuries to players. Kobe's determination to get there is absolutely amazing.

I'm a bit bummed so far with this season. The Pistons don't seem to have made much progress and my other team, Brooklyn, don't fill me with much confidence. I was also looking forward to seeing the Timberwolves start their climb, but they've unfortunately been curtailed by injuries. I think the fear of the new luxury tax has hit OKC the hardest. Losing Harden is a real game changer for the team. The Lakers are creeping ever closer to a finals berth. Can they get past Houston? And how about that Curry? What was it, 54 points against NYK? Pity they still lost. Good news is that Bogut is back, so can only hope they have a good run leading up to the finals. And now for something completely different. And some old school Bill Russell. Wow.
