Yeah Livingston really had displayed a pattern of being an rear end in a top hat that warranted Cuban mouthing off.

It's a bizarre act that I don't quite understand (how does post defense turn into an arm between the legs) but it really seemed like Livingston didn't mean to do it.

Maybe next year they will play the Mavs full lineup once.
What's the word on Rondo sticking around after this season? Because I liked the Mavs offense way more when Monta was the primary playmaker.

It's weird because me from 5-6 years ago would absolutely go nuts over a team featuring Rondo, Monta, Dirk & Stoudemire.

There have been reports that he's unhappy and probably won't resign, but apparently he and Monta are best bros but Monta is probably gonna opt out so who the hell knows.

Oh right, Monta has a player option for next year. They really don't have a lot of players locked up for another year outside of Dirk, Parsons & Harris. Should be an interesting offseason.

3. Sen. Marco Rubio (Fla.): Rubio will formally enter the race shortly after Paul -- a week from Monday in Miami. Rubio seems to have concluded that he can raise the money he needs to mount a serious candidacy even with Bush in the running. And he has tremendous upside potential; the question is whether he turns into a star like Dirk Nowitzki or a bust like, say Jan Vesely. (Previous ranking: 3)

Looking through Russell's game logs, and man, the last five games have been rough. Shooting wise. He is putting up crazy numbers, but he shot 49-for-139 from the field. He made up for it with lots of FTs though.

It's hard to be efficient when you're doing the one man team thing.

Small chance of that...
I'm wondering if Westbrook's going to hurt himself going 10000000 miles an hour every game. It'd be even worse if they fell out of the playoffs and he hurt himself trying to win the last couple games.

I beseech the basketball gods to withhold any injuries for the rest of the season so we can have awesome playoffs.

How hurt is Tiago Splitter? How is Milsap?

It seems like they need to keep Monta, Rondo, and Chandler. I've read they also want to keep Amar'e but who knows if he will stay. An underrated problem for them this offseason will be when Aminu opts out of his deal and they can't pay him what he will get elsewhere.

I think the Mavs have a smart enough front office and coaching staff to get value from role players, Chandler Parsons not included.

But I do wonder what he'll make next year

How exactly does the playoff scheduling work? Is the tournament tree set in stone when the playoffs start, or do the second round matchups depend on who wins the first round games?

More concretely, in the first round you have these series: #1-#8, #4-#5, #2-#7, #3-#6. Is the winner of the #1-#8 series guaranteed to play the winner of the #4-#5 series, or are second-round matchups re-worked so if (say) #1 beat #8, but #7 upset #2, that in the second round #1 plays #7 (the most advantageous matchup for #1 by seeding)?
