Around the NBA - April 2018

[THE HCP]

So Russ needs 16 rebounds to average a triple double again.

God let him get 15

No one cares.

 

[Boob-No-More]

No one cares.

Yeah, I don't give a shit about his stupid triple doubles. What I want to know is there any way OKC can fall to the 8th seed if they lose to MEM tomorrow? If they lose, they will end up with 35 losses. Two of SAS/NOP and MIN/DEN will also end up with 35 losses, and while unlikely, UTA could also finish with 35 losses. Anywhere between 2 and 4 teams will finish at 47-35, but I haven't looked at all the possible tie breaker scenarios. I'd just love to see OKC drop to 8th and face HOU in the first round.

Damn Jazz are just that good

100% chance Westbrick chases that number tomorrow.
If only they were battling for HCA like you said they'd be this year.

Fuckin Jazz are gonna beat the shitty Warriors dammit. Tomorrow night is gonna be crazy. Mitchell gets my ROY vote for sure. Kid is nuts and Simmons ain't no damn rookie.

 

[H.C.]

I just want Utah to have to play well into the 4th tonight.
LEGGO WARRIORS.

Dude tonight's game has no bearing on us. As for GS, are we certain they're going to get out of the first round? This is their team. Curry's not coming back for first round.

 

[DDolla]

Utah, now that’s a team that’s ready for the playoffs.

 

[Eastoff]

Dude tonight's game has no bearing on us. As for GS, are we certain they're going to get out of the first round? This is their team. Curry's not coming back for first round.

They impact what happens if we lose. It's be nice to have a cushion.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Meh, the Warriors have been worse than us of late.

Why isn't Simmons a rookie? He didn't play last year and would be no different than a player coming out as a sophomore. Him and Mitchell are almost identical in age.

 

[SportsAndWhine]

Meh, the Warriors have been worse than us of late.

They're lazy... fucking useless reptiles.

 

[DDolla]

Blazers like the Warriors are playing the worst basketball at the wrong time.

Well when Utah wins they take hold of the 3rd seed

 

[DDolla]

Can the Blazers slide to the 7th seed and play the Warriors in the first round?

No

If Jazz win tonight and beat us tomorrow they take 3rd seed. AND YOU KNOW THIS MAAAAAAAN!

Wouldn't Jazz losing tonight guarantee us a 3rd seed???

 

[ripcityboy]

Not looking forward to tomorrow's game. Yuck! Jazz are going off.

 

[DDolla]

Even if the Blazers try and win tomorrow, Jazz still wins by a mile. They are just in a zone and playing well.

Jazz are playing well, that is true. We are absolutely capable of beating them, or anyone else. Especially at home.

 

[julius]

I love it when things go the way that my favorite sports team wants them to.

I'll let you guys know when that happens.

 

[Chris Craig]

Holy shit Jazz beating warriors 100-58

 

[BonesJones]

We're gonna get killed tomorrow.

 

[DDolla]

If you have to pick and we have the Home court advantage... Spurs or Pelicans?

 

[Chris Craig]

We're gonna get killed tomorrow.

Hey at least Utah is on a back to back

 

[AFully22]

It’s arguably the hottest playoff team in the NBA vs the coldest playoff team in the NBA tomorrow night. The bright side is, if you’re looking for a way to flip momentum and get some confidence headed into the playoffs a win vs the Jazz right now should do it.

 

[Boob-No-More]

Maybe after destroying the Warriors tonight they will be overconfident tomorrow against us?

And rested because they won a meaningless game by 40.
