Lebron dropped 50 last night against the Knicks. What can you say about Lebron? The man is incredible despite being surrounded by role players. This is the one guy who can single handily mess up the Celtics and Pistons chances of making it to the NBA Finals. In fact here is a roundtable discussion on the possible playoff outcomes in the East.

I still think this team isn't all that good if they can't even get out of 4th place in the East, but anything can happen in the playoffs with Lebron on the floor. Of course if they did win the East, I don't think they'd have much chance to beat whoever comes out of the West.

Speaking of the West, Houston has won 16 games in a row and now that Dirk has been suspended for the Rockets next game against Dallas, there is a good chance they could win 17 in a row.

Meanwhile, San Antonio is on fire as well winning 10 in a row and they go for 11 tonight against Indiana, so they should be able to pull that off.
