NOT THE F'ING LAKERS!

Pacers

There is such a wide rookie salary gap between 1 & 2 versus 9/10. With the Vulcans/B&J wanting to stay cap clean within reason, they probably feel they can get as good a player as 2-10 regardless what pick they get, for considerably less.

Yeah they aren't often accused of being overly smart...

I never thought we get #1 to select Oden. Hope Im wrong again.

You know the funny thing is that my wife wanted Durant badly over Oden. She saw them both interviewed and thought Durant was driven, confident and had the "eye of the tiger". Plus she saw a few of his college games. I wanted Oden but thought Durant could be as good.

Ha, that is one serious tin foil hat conspiracy theory. I will believe it when we land the 1st pick and then trade it for the 10th.

Love your optimism. Flagg would be worth it for sure. But if Im Atlanta not sure that French dude is worth 3 times more that last years 10 pick?

Good point. Last year, it was probably not worth the extra 7 million.

But to my point, they still tanked harder last year than they did this year with Flagg available. I am sure Jody and Bert want to stay under the various caps for the same reason we all do......so the Blazers have more flexibility when it comes to obtaining players. But I doubt very much that she instructed them to win more games so she did not have to pay more for Flagg.

That's why Scarlett Johansson is my backup in case my wife ever leaves me.

Well she's on her second or third husband, so there's always a chance!

Exactly!

 

[Strenuus]

Minnesota beat #3 Lakers. Celebrate!

Oh trust me, celebratory measures were taken and strictly adhered to.

I think Joe and Chauncey were on the clock.
This team is a subsidiary of a mother ship, that apparently didnt care if they finished bottom three. They were wanting to be convinced that this team now has some good enough pieces to take another step.

So we are gonna get ripped off in a trade pretty soon?

With this decisions this franchise makes it doesn't seem unlikely...

We traded Scoot +10 for the Hornets #2 and we drafted Harper.

 

[crandc]

Wild one in Boston. Looked like Knicks were toast and suddenly up, Boston ties, Knicks got a good shot with 5 seconds left but it rolled off. Then win in OT.

We said in the West 2-7 pretty interchangeable. In East it's 1-4. Two games, two upsets.

[SharpesTriumph]

These fouls at end of games has become so painful to watch.

 

[SlyPokerDog]

Holy shit!

Denver with the 19-6 run to get the win.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Fouling up 3 backfires!

 

[Cugel]

Holmgren shit the bed at the end there.

 

[BigGameDamian]

That’s why you call them choklahoma!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Also burning multiple timeouts just to advance the ball .. then have to settle for full court heave with 4 seconds left because no timeouts!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Both road teams with big wins tonight!

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Oh yeah and Cleveland lost yesterday - home teams are 0-3 in the 2nd round #1 seed #1 seed #2 seed

Shows how pointless the 82 game regular season is.

 

[Tince]

Don't mind the fouling strategy, but found the ultra quick fouls at 80ft to be strange.

 

[THE HCP]

Big win for my nuggets tonight

I'll take those 3 teams to win it all and you get the other 5.

Deal?

 

[Cugel]

I think it’s pretty clear who the best player on the planet is and the MVP 4 year running if he wasn’t robbed last year

 

[PDXFonz]

I think the Thunder are going 16-0

Better luck next time
