Magic just beat Philly, and we now have 1st place in the Atlantic.

On a side note, Orlando is very impressive so far.

Yeah, very impressive! And what a job is doing Grant Hill out there! Definitely a great story so far. I hope he can stay healthy. Same goes for Houston. He will change our game so much! God bless both guys!

Sixers play the Magic tonight. We have another shot at sole possesion of 1st in the division.
76ers lost tonight, we're in 1st place



Next step: Going over .500 for the first time in three years and building up from there!

GO KNICKS!!!

they had a top 5 nba player.
they traded him away for 1 really good player and 2 solid players who upgraded the SG and C position.
they got the #1 pick of the draft.
they got an all world player back in hill.

everything fell into place at the same time for this team. a nice draft pick, a good trade, and the most important of all, a healthy grant hill.

IF we win the division and we get the # 3 seed and we play the 6 seed but the 6 seed has a better record than us do we get homecourt or do they??

Had to re-read that before I understood it. I believe we would have homecourt advantage for the first round.

That would mean the rules have changed? It used to be that the team with the better record always gets homecourt.

I could very easily be wrong, I thought the first 4 seeds automatically had home court for the first round.

Raptors lost again tonight to the Wizards

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/recap?gid=2004112828

Notes

Toronto coach Sam Mitchell didn't care that New York native Rafer Alston was angered about being benched in New York on Saturday. ``We have a bunch of more games. A different night somebody is always upset. Pick a number,'' Mitchell said. ``Do you think they'll ever be a day where I can walk into the locker room after a game and someone is not mad?'' ... After Saturday's game, New York's Stephon Marbury criticized Mitchell for not running enough plays for Carter. ``I shouldn't have to waste my time answering questions about what someone on another team, that's struggling like we're struggling, has comments on how we should play,'' Mitchell said. ``When we beat them by 23 nothing was said.'' ...

The Atlantic Division is the only division where you can have a sub .500 week and actually move up the division standings.

No one has answered this for me yet definitively:

Do the 1-4 seeds automatically get home court in the first round regardless of record??
