pulling for Dallas, Miami, Chicago, Portland to win today

[spurraider21]

hawks were up double figures early. led by as many as 13 in the first quarter

miami has absolutely blitzed them ever since. outscored them 38-23 in the 2nd, so far have outscored them 19-5 in the third. heat up by 19

[spurraider21]

dallas got the win

atlanta has gotten the lead down to single digits, miami up 8 with 9 minutes to go

[scott]

IND puts up 162 on WAS

[LeBowen]

IND puts up 162 on WAS

They started to dribble it out with 2 minutes left.
Embarrassing.

[spurraider21]

Miami holding on against Atl

up 10 with under 40 seconds to go

not so much about ATL losing, more so about Miami winning. we will sneak ahead of them in lotto after today. also risacher with a game is nice for ROY

I know you were rooting for a DAL win, but I actually would have preferred ORL to win that game, as it would have pushed them ahead of ATL for home court in the first play-in game.

Bulls - Lakers the game of the year. Holy

Another trade Presti ed up.

Clippers are 8-2 in their last 10 games. Only the Celtics, Thunder and Rockets have had a better run (9-1), and yeah, Kawhi looks to be playing really well. If he can remain healthy, they could go on a run in the playoffs.

They can’t go on a run, because he can’t take games off in the playoffs. By the second round,he’ll be laboring to run up and down the floor.

Did you put in a parlay? Just need the Blazers, though it's not looking good.

Spurs should blatantly tank the @ Portland game coming up in 10 days. 8th place in pre- lottery draft could be decided there. We will lose organically the rest of our games bar the season finale vs Toronto who likely won't catch either Brooklyn or Philly anyway so we will be able to out-tank them too without threatening to jump them for 7th (too far behind)..

If we had a chance of catching TOR for 7th in the last game of the season, I'm confident TOR would miss their flight

Nephew is averaging 26/8/4 on 58/52/81 over his last 7 games.
Clippers in 6th with a fairly easy remaining schedule.
I don't think anyone wants to face them in the first round, they're a very good team when everyone's healthy.
And most importantly, well coached.

that is until Kawhi sits in the middle of a playoff series cause he doesn't want to play anymore

i dont sportsbook at all

yeah i wanted dallas to keep them ahead of sacto. i dont want the kings pick to convey to ATL

Ending of the year no doubt. LA gets beat the at buzzer for years nothing more gratifying for haters club.
Ideally LA stays at 4th or 5th seed and gets knocked out in the WCF by Nikola and crew.

Lakers are so reliant on Luka being a consistent shooter--pretty much the exact opposite of the solid Mavs team. They have no chance in the playoffs.

So, uh....Taylor Jenkins was fired? What's that about?

[Leetonidas]

What the did Memphis just fire Jenkins for??

Bring him in for an interview

[Robz4000]

Oh , get on the phone now BWrong!

[Ice009]

So, uh....Taylor Jenkins was fired? What's that about?

Are you serious? WTF?

Crazy stuff going down in the past couple of pages.

Loved the Giddy shot and as per usual, Lebron walks off. I assume he didn't stick around as usual and left the court right away.

Also, spurs1990, you really think the Lakers will make the WCF? Why are people expecting them to get that far? If they finish 5th or 6th, they could get bounced in the first round.

[Mugen]

Curious what the behind the scenes stuff with Jenkins was all about. No way you're firing a coach this close to the playoffs.

This plus, the Bane / Aldama dust up the other day, and Morant being injured most of the time makes me think Memphis might be doing a soft reset soon tbh.
