Logically Suns or Pistons will get the W but my pick to end the streak is @Knicks. They have been gettins wins over big teams this year and then failing against teams like Atlanta, Boston etc.

There is a possibility that they break all the records and win the last 22 remaining games.

The Mavericks are better than any NBA team you care to name. That doesn't prevent them from losing games.

It's certainly a possibility but it's much easier said than done.

once they clinch the best record they'll be inclined to let their main guys rest a little, so it's easy to see them lose 4-6 games when it's all said and done.

Exactly, if nothing else they'll likely drop a few games as the season tapers off and they've secured homecourt. All the same, I think a couple of teams will be able to steal a few games from them before that point.

Lakers. Trust me people. Kobe scored between 40-50 and dished out 8-10 assists.

Golden State will end their winning streak. They're finally healthy, and have won 3 straight since getting all their players back. They also beat Dallas earlier in the season.

Mavs are playing great again this year (though they havent beaten any good teams that I can recall during this streak). I just wonder how they'll manage to choke again this year in the playoffs. I dont think they're really that much better than the best in the west. I think San Antonio, Phoenix, Houston, Utah, or Detroit could all upset them at some point in the playoffs. They've just looked so much better than everyone else because they've had no significant injuries all year.

I still bet that the Suns will end the streak.. The Suns are deadly shooters, much more quicker and athletic than the Mavs.. And they are much more aggressive.. And hmmm... I think Nowitzki will have a hard time dealing with Shawn Marion...

Aha! He's been doing that a lot lately. I dont care if he makes shots, I want him to open up the offense like he's been doing, like neither Snow (sucks) or Gibson (young) can do. Hughes is averaging 6.2 assists per night since at PG, and his points are way up to, but it's not because he's shooting more shots.

pretty much safe to say that all the people who said GS were right. Warriors by 29 (!) going into the fourth. Oh well.

Told you that the Warriors would win. They are always unpredictable. Their wins and losses are completely random, never consistent. I just got a hunch GSW would win.

I didn't see this game, did they even try? I mean I saw the box score and dirk only played like 30 minutes or something, maybe they don't give a shit anymore since they're in the playoff already.

The Golden State Warriors! to the FINALS! oh yeah they the best team, and they gonna win the championship, that is if they get to the playoff :P
