Yep, back on track.

Chris Bosh and his Miami Heat up next.
Battle of the only two teams that have secured playoff basketball so far.
Thu Apr 07, 2011 5:34 pm
25/3/11
Race for top seeding could be decided tomorrow

The Thunder and Heat meet tomorrow in a game that could determine who gets home court advantage in the Finals.
Miami are six games down on the Thunder in the loss column, but a win tomorrow would keep their slim hopes alive.
The last time these two teams met, Kevin Durant scored 49 as the Thunder grabbed an overtime win in Miami, 138-133.
Many experts believe they will meet again in the NBA Finals this year, a re-match of last year's Finals.
Nine out of the Thunder's remaining games are against teams below .500, whilst the Heat face only four below .500.
Fair to say Oklahoma City are favourites to finish with the best record in the league this season.
Oklahoma City - [53-13]
Games left: MIA, PHI, HOU, MEM, SAS, @CHI, @CHA, @ORL, GSW, LAL, SAC, MIN, POR, DAL, @SAS, @MEM.

The game was tied at 18-18 midway through the first quarter. Then I went on a 28-2 run to end the quarter.
First quarter: 76% shooting. (19-25 fgm/a, 2-3 3ptm/a, 6-6 ftm/a)
Couldn't believe this result, but I checked after the game and it is still set to Superstar difficulty.
Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:03 pm
Oh my god, only 6 three pointers and 151 points? It's very good result. And you free throws
Sat Apr 09, 2011 1:08 am
I was going to quit and restart it because I thought it had gone back to a lesser difficulty. Which it's done in the past randomly.
Glad I didn't though. Horford almost grabbed his second triple-double in a row.
Sat Apr 09, 2011 1:23 am
Strong win over the Sixers and just a complete beatdown of the Rockets.

That's a tough one to lose against the Warriors, but certainly a huge night for Durant. Good to see you take care of business against the Lakers once again though.
