Around the NBA - April 2018

[Cippy91]

5 teams could go with the same record in the last 2 games. I love this game.

I don't. I don't wanna see Utah or Minnesota with Butler in the first round

 

[stampedehero]

is no one else watching?

Yep

 

[KingSpeed]

The playoffs this year are going to be absolutely epic.

I can't wait. All day basketball next weekend!!

 

[THE HCP]

 

[Rastapopoulos]

I think he's going to Philidelphia

He and Simmons kind of step on each other's toes there.

It could work, but they are less than the sum of their parts.

Are they? Harden and CP3 has worked. So far.

 

[Sarni]

Clippers almost completely out but Denver are truly putting up the fight.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

True, but they're both shooters. Simmons is pretty useless off the ball.

 

[DDolla]

wow if OKC lose tonight they could be out of the playoffs, that’s crazy.

Every West teams are playing well and healthy except the Blazers. Nuggets 5 game winning streak, Wolves got Butler back, Spurs playing well at home, Utah looks legit while Blazers.... ugh! Just sad

Portland last 10. 5-5, 2L
Utah last 10. 7-3, 4W
Pels last 10. 6-4, 2W
Spurs last 10. 6-4, 2L
OKC last 10. 5-5, 1L
Minn last 10. 5-5, 1W
Denver last 10. 7-3, 5W

You're right Portland should've tanked the season. Rest of the West teams are playing sooooooooooooooooooooo well right now.
Missed an opportunity to get the #1 overall pick this year.
Trade everyone.
Portland's the worst team in the West. Suns are better.

Under possibly the best offensive coach ever.

Um no.

Nuggets are missing their best two way player (Gary Harris).
Warriors' best player is out for the first round and they are 5-5 in their last 10 and Durant & Kerr are feuding.
Thunder don't have their best defender (Roberson) and are 5-5 in their last 10 (like us).
Pelicans are missing Cousins.
Sure, Utah looks legit (against the Clippers).
The Spurs just got swept by the two lotto teams in L.A.

Yep Minnesota, Denver, SA all own the tiebreaker over OKC. OKC is done. I hope they get smacked tonight.

Watch them win tonight now....

 

[KingSpeed]

Watch them win tonight now....

Could happen.

 

[DDolla]

Watch them win tonight now....

Rockets will give the game so they can go against the Warriors

 

[BonesJones]

Watch them win tonight now....

By 20.

 

[KingSpeed]

By 20.

Haven't they beaten Houston twice already this season?

 

[KingSpeed]

CJ second to Harden in stepback FGs this season.

 

[KingSpeed]

It's weird. I have to root for Houston and GS to win this weekend but then I want them to lose next weekend. Whiplash coming.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Wait, how did HOU get an additional point after that goal-tend by Melo?

I missed it. Multi-tasking.

 

[BonesJones]

CJ second to Harden in stepback FGs this season.

Would like to see the percentages

 

[KingSpeed]

Would like to see the percentages

They only showed the totals. CJ his second with 99. Harden has 139.

 

[H.C.]

Melo 6-7 in the first quarter. 2-2 from three.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

It's amazing how much Andrew Wiggins has regressed.

He’s got the talent and body to be a T-Mac kind of scorer but somethings just missing, confidence maybe?

 

[KingSpeed]

Holy Quinn Cook! 8/12 FGs, 5/6 from 3

 

[Dom McBlazer]

Looks like OKC is going to hold on and win this. Damn you @KingSpeed .

 

[SIeepwalker]

It doesn't matter tho, they can't catch us.
