Around the NBA: April, 2026! (3 Viewers)

Maybe Delonte West can stage an intervention.

If you’re the Spurs and locked the 2nd seed, who do you want to face in the first round? Suns, Blazers or Clippers? We will soon find out the answer if they let the Blazers win

Spurs record against those three:
Us: 1-1
Suns: 2-2
Clippers: 3-0

Now it kind of depends when they played. If all their wins against the Clippers came from early in the season, the Clips have improved A LOT since then.

All 3 Clippers games were this past month.

things were really looking solid for them...they were 16-3 over their last 19 games. 1st round exit?

They were probably a 1st round exit even healthy,

Huh. Apparently not enough. So... this means San Antonio will want to beat us, right?

 

[THE HCP]

Man did we win the Anfernee Simons trade...Ant in Chicago is avg 15.2 pts and shooting 32% from 3 on 13 shots a game. Jrue smokes Ant in the stats column.

Is “stats” how we judge a player’s success on here? I was told that even triple doubles mean nothing.

Portland gets swept and no pick. Such is life for a blazers fan.

Just pretend we “drafted” Sidy Cissoko. His production for us this year has been “20th pick first round”

Jrue has pretty much willed us to the playoffs. Ant didn't quite do that as "the man" around here.

Which is a net loss, since we are a bad team, but alas.

We will end up winning 41-42 games. IMO, we easily would have been a 50-win team this year with a normal amount of injuries.
I am not saying 50 wins is great, but it is not bad. But we will have only 4 players on the whole team who will have made the 65-game mark. And that counts Sidy, who started with a 2-way contract.

However, if we don't get Grant and Shae back for the play in series, we'll probably get our draft pick.

yeah...you don't get better by losing and your lottery players don't need 5 years without playoffs to grow eh? Try to keep up....you are thinking in Raymond Felton years, not Jrue Holiday years. We have 3 allstars and a bench. We have defenders. How many years now since you've watched a game?

I think we'll convey the pick to Chicago and be done with it and then mine the G league and probably sign Caleb Love instead of draft a rookie. Dundon wants a superstar more than a project.
