You just knew that Westbrook was gonna go hero ball after making a few shots to start the 4th. Ended with 12 points on 5/15 shooting.
Well it looks like Steph Curry will sit out remaining regular games due to ligament strain in his foot not looking good for them

I haven’t heard anything about Zion to the Lakers. The chatter was that he wanted the Knicks.
He’s been sitting out, and there was thought to be a chance that he might play one or two games, but I guess not. Strikes me as a precaution.
Check in the pelicans forum to see what they think zion would do playing with them right now.
This is Karma for stealing AD from New Orleans. Every spot they fall improves the pick for the Pelicans.
Davis was more of a problem. He made some really ty decisions down the stretch. That long two was unbelievable. Westbrook gets stick this year and that's fair, but Anthony Davis has been lazy and awful all year when he's been playing.
The Spurs have a magic number of 4 to clinch the 10 seed vs. the Lakers.
If the Spurs beat Portland tomorrow, it's down to 3 (if the Lakers also lose, it's 2). Each team would have 4 games left, so a total of 8 games between the two teams of which either 6 or 7 would have to go the wrong way. The Spurs should get the 10 seed.
Assuming the Spurs don't rise to the 8 seed (unlikely) they still have a lottery shot at Banchero, Jabari or Holmgren.
If they don't move up in the draft, they still have a decent shot at Shaedon Sharpe -- he may be as good as any of them.
The glass looks half full to me.
I think with a play-in, not overtaking the Pelicans, and losing the play-in at any point, the Spurs will be pick #9, is that right? Since they will pass the Lakers (and assuming the Wizards and Knicks don't lose too many).
Not necessarily. The Spurs can tie with LAL and get both the play-in spot and the eighth lottery slot. The two have different tie-break conditions
I think draft ties are solved via coin flips.
So a 10 seed tie with the Lakers is the sweet spot. (Unless the NBA changes the rules at the last minute ex post facto.)
Yeah let's troll LA to their bones and get the tie...
Even though it seems to be a improbable alternative or at least something you don't want since it would basically mean spurs one game behind LA before the last game and then winning the last and LA losing theirs... On the opposite case (spurs up one game before the last)... LA would have no meaning winning their last game.
It feels like they don't know they don't have a pick... "Wait, whaa!?"I just watched the last few minutes... the decisions they made were atrocious... LeBron lowering his head and running into the whole Pelicans defense, a horrible LeBron-AD alley oop attempt, letting the clock run with 9 seconds left, LeBron pump faking like 4 times and throwing an airball... awful all around execution. By their play you'd think they were tanking hard.
I only watched bits of the game last night but it seemed Lebron was balling out. It can't be understated how underwhelming AD is right now. Yeah, they're not a good team after the top 2, but a team with Lebron playing that hard/well and AD should be able to beat the Pelicans easily.
They went completely away from LeBron at the end. It should have been a steady diet of him going to the basket. I have no idea what they were doing.
He's always been overrated. Only got the Pelicans to the playoffs once. I always said LaMarcus was a way better player than him, since he could get a team into the first round by himself
A late prime Lamarcus when he was still an all star always dominated Davis in the RS.
Nuggets will for sure be playing all of their players which is great because I’ll be at the game Tuesday night against the Spurs.
Lebron’s taking the nuggets game off. I predicted this . He’s going to pad his scoring stats for one more game (against a weaker opponent), then call it a season. Spurs have the 10 seed wrapped up if they want it.
Lakers are sunk. What a show but at least they go their ring (with an *). They should definitely trade AD and send Lebron to an acceptable destination and get some draft assets to rebuild. Nobody would take that Westbrick contract haha. Is there a worse contract is the history of the NBA?
I could see the Spurs get by NO but would probably lose to the Pups. Spurs still are in the lottery if they get bounced in the play-in, right? I hope so.
We could finish 10th in the West, with the #9 pick, beat N.O., but lose the second game, and we wouldn’t even lose our draft spot.
In the play in, your draft spot only changes if you make the play offs from 9/10, or fall out of them from 7/8.
Lakers lose to Nuggets. If Sa wins tonight, play in will not be far.
Lakers season is over. They’re not winning out and we’re not losing the remaining 4 games.
Spurs are in the play-in.
Idk, I can definitely see us finishing 0-4. It's looking like all 4 of those opponents will be jockeying for better seeds and gunning for Ws.
Now the odds of Lakers winning out are. And unless I'm mistaken, Lakers will be forced to do so if we win tonight.
Edit : I was mistaken. Lakers can still go 3-1 and get in if we finish 0-4.
