Boo Lou and the Clips....
![]()
First of all a team that trades JV for the corpse of Marc Gasol obviously has no idea how to treat it's bigmen so you don't deserve Poodle.
Second of all you should be thankfull we didn't grab Siakam along Poodle as well.
Third of all a team a team that goes all in this season and gives the Head Coaching job to an unproven nobody like Nick Nurse deserves all the failures and mishaps that's about to come to Toronto.
A sweep in the regular season from the coach you fired after he won COY? That must be some kind of record son! Has it ever happened before?
Clippers won’t go away.. just two losses and boom we are 8seed.
5 teams in a 3 losses span, with a few H2H too. Lookign at the schedule, we might have a 4-teams tie at 49 wins.
Clippers don't seem to go anywhere. They play Indiana at home, then 3 gimmes, @MIL, 2 gimmes and finally receive HOU and LAL(Lebron-less?), @GSW (probably resting players) and finish vsUTA at home. It's gonna be tough for Spurs to finsih above them in the standings. I'd rather see them finishing 6th than 8th position.
In the other hand, OKC is just there, RW doesn't play next game vsMIA and then they face TOR twice, IND, DEN, DET, HOU and MIL (probably resting players). Could they fall underneath the Spurs? To me, this is the team to fight for #7.
Utah Jazz has to play just 2 playoff teams, their last 2 games: vsDEN and @LAC. Utah's schedule is so easy that they could win their 11 games until that point and nobody should surprise about it.
A potential scenario to consider is Houston becoming the #2 seed as the Nuggets have a very tough schedule and the momentum for those two teams is just the opposite right now. They play in Denver on March 29th and a Rockets W would put a lot of pressure on the Nuggets. Note that a Spurs win in Houston next Friday could definitely bury Rockets chances of been third at the seam time that would increase San Antonio's options of finishing third. Funny ah?
I think everybody is being carried away by this nice stretch of good home games. Let's not forget we suck on away games.
We still have 6 away, of which 3 are with better teams (Celtics maybe not, but we'll not win in Boston) and Charlotte will be fighting for a PO spot. We can easily go 2-4, provided we don't have a Knicks-moment with CLE or WSH and bring home a 1-5 record.
We can go 5-1 at home, even 6-0 (I wouldn't bet much on losing tonight). Still, 7-8 wins won't be enough to jump in the standings, and maybe not even to keep the Clips behind.
About Denver: what you say sounds right, but on the other hand it is 70 games that everybody says Denver will collapse. They didn't. Which makes me thinking that they won't. They are legit.
Finishing out the regular season, and winning a playoff series with a VERY inexperienced team are two different things.
We were discussing the potential standings and HOU jumping DEN. I don't see Denver giving up the second seed, they are what they are, very good.
Then, playoffs, the 2-7 matchup is a totally different story, I agree. Spurs or Clips have a more experienced coach, and it counts for at least a game, probably. Players, not so much.
But I see DEN as a lock at #2.
For once I will give Doc Rivers all the credit in the world, that Clips team has no business doing as well as they're doing. But they do have talent and they're put together well.
How about 5 seed es
Damn right. Those damn s who wanted to tank ain’t worth a .
This is going to get confusing, don't know where GS is going to land.
The brackets are as confusing as they've ever been,but we're owed a good bracket after 2014.Things must go our way at some point.
No way the Blazers lose to the Oladipoless Pacers at home, right? RIGHT?
The Spurs could be a half game out of 4th at the end of the night. Last season they blew the last game of the season against the Pels, and dropped from 4th to 7th. They've put themselves in position, but it's going to be a grind to the end of the season. One game could change everything.
Kinda crazy to think the Spurs could've possibly been fighting for the 1 seed had DJ not gotten injured. Especially since everyone and their mother had us missing the playoffs.
GTFO joto
White >>> Instagram Baller
Pacers sucks! Struggling to less McCollum less blazers
Deport this bum.
And they play together? Not sure what you're point is.
White might have not developed in the way he did had Murray not gotten injured, tbh.
That loss to Memphis at home was such bull tbh. Gonna end up being huge when the standings shake out.
And the one to the Bulls, and to the Knicks, and to the Sixers being up 8 with like a minute to go, and against the Raptors.
All these losses were infuriating. Forgot to mention the home loss to Orlando and losing to Phoenix on their court (although they’ve beaten good teams lately). I have to give it to the spurs now for being in this position so late into the year.
Damn Eastern Conference teams are a joke. And that Lilliard kid is kind of good.
It would have been nice to see the Spurs only a half game out of 4th, but I guess they did enough damage for one night as it is.
