Around the NBA - April 2018

God let him get 15

With like two minutes left in the last game so we can watch him defer the shot and try to get the rebound on a miss.

 

[BonesJones]

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

Doesn't matter if we can't play better.

 

[Boob-No-More]

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

Actually, he said that OKC would be battling GSW and HOU for the for the top 3 spots in the West.

If this season proves anything, it's what I've been saying about Westbrook since the 2011 playoffs - he makes his team good, but prevents them from being great. It doesn't matter how many superstars you surround him with, it don't matter one little bit, because when the game is on the line Russ is freezing those guys out and calling his own number.

So who do we want to win tomorrow Spurs or Pelicans?

Andre Ingram, happy for the dude.

 

[KingSpeed]

And rested because they won a meaningless game by 40.

It wasn't meaningless for them. Just for us.

 

[KingSpeed]

I want Denver

 

[KingSpeed]

So who do we want to win tomorrow Spurs or Pelicans?

New Orleans, Memphis, and Denver

 

[BonesJones]

New Orleans, Memphis, and Denver

But if OKC wins we get HCA.

 

[KingSpeed]

But if OKC wins we get HCA.

But if we win, we get HCA anyway and if OKC loses and NO and Denver win, we play Denver in first round

[BBert]

I just want to win. Baby

One good thing is no matter what we won't be playing Utah after their win tonight.

 

[KingSpeed]

that is true

 

[Sarni]

Wow Utah are just spectacular.

 

[DDolla]

32 years old Andre Ingram shots better than PatCon/Bazz/Turner combined... amazing!

 

[DDolla]

Wow Utah are just spectacular.

That’s how you show you’re a playoff caliber team. Take not Blazer team.

 

[Sarni]

That’s how you show you’re a playoff caliber team. Take not Blazer team.

They would be on pace for 70 wins with the form from the second half of season. 29-5 since they started the run, absolutely remarkable and they have the best defense in the league by large margin.

A part of me wants them to finish 3rd above us so they can play Warriors in the second round. Warriors would be so scared going into these games (and I think Warriors with Curry are a worse match up for us than Rockets).

I know it is morally imperative to hate the L*kers but this video is a must-watch:

That is really stinkin' cool. I watched a lot of his d-league games, and am happy he got to have that moment. Can't even imagine how that feels!

 

[blue9]

PELS! That's the only way we can retain HCA, because we're not beating UTH.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Wow Utah are just spectacular.

Yeah, they really fell apart without that Hayward guy, didn't they.

On the one hand, that's really nice, and a great idea for meaningless games.
On the other: "Hey! Your big break finally came! You're in the NBA! FOR ONE MEANINGLESS GAME."

I think it's obviously more positive than not, but it's a bit bittersweet.

He gets two games. One game left. But ya, almost impossible to reproduce that.

 

[DDolla]

The only one that’s locked for a win tonight is OKC beating the Grizzlies.

 

[dviss1]

So much hate for AC, damn. Proud of him. Damn good dude.

Being a "good dude" doesn't make you:

• A good defender
• A good ballhandler
• A good basketball player period
• A player who is earning his contract
• A player who I want on my favorite team

And it's not hate, it's reality.

Stop throwing the hate word around so easily. You're confusing folks.

 

[dviss1]

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

Muthafucka what???

Quit hating on The HCP!
