Around the NBA- February 2018

[Sarni]

I am rooting for Pelicans against Spurs, I like them. It's a strange team but quite fun. If they re-sign Cousins they will go for even more crazy shooters in the offseason and be even more mad (Hezonja, Bullock).

Spurs, to be Safe

Never look behind you; you're not headed that direction. Go Pelicans.

 

[THE HCP]

I see you guys mentioned who you are rooting for in this Pels/SPurs game, but why? I need a reason to vote for one of ‘em. How does one losing over the other help us or not?

Way I look at it, Spurs have one fewer loss than the Blazers, so I want them to lose.

Gotcha....also shouldn’t we root for the team that we have a chance to effect/affect their record. Meaning, the team we still have to play and can give them a loss?

Sure, but we still have one game against both the Spurs and Pelicans, so that wouldn't affect how you would root on this game.

Fuck rooting, just watch, enjoy, eat some chick-fil-a, and let this bad boy play itself out and hope the Blazers win all their games to avoid this rooting mess.

The way I look at it it, Spurs have LA on their roster, so I want them to lose.

Indiana were so fast to pick up Booker. Good deal for them, they don't have any massive superstars after George left but Oladipo looks like a star and they have several good players.

 

[Blazers Roy]

Booker would have been perfect for us. I wanted him least year too.
What the hell is Olshey doing anyway???

There is this thing called free agency. The player gets to choose where he signs.

The Lakers bought out Brewer's contract so he could have a chance to sign with a playoff contender. Despite improved play in 2018, Los Angeles (26-34) is 11th in the Western Conference and is almost certain to miss the postseason for a franchise-record fifth straight year.

Brewer also has played for Minnesota, Dallas and Denver, winning a 2011 championship ring with the Mavericks.

OKC losing to team that flat out said they were tanking lol.

 

[DDolla]

Pelicans WOW! Need to win tomorrow to tie Spurs for the 4th seed

 

[KingSpeed]

Hahahaha Thunder going to OT in Tank Town.

 

[KingSpeed]

Pelicans WOW! Need to win tomorrow to tie Spurs for the 4th seed

Suddenly, Pelicans have a chance at the 3 seed themselves and that might be enough for AD to steal MVP from Harden. By the way, Cousins sucks. They look so much better without him.

 

[KingSpeed]

Anyone know what happened to Aldridge? He only played 13 minutes.

Ankle injury

 

[Labinot41]

Fuck Okc, what a garbage Team

 

[Pinwheel1]

Stupid play call by Dallas at the end.

 

[KingSpeed]

Oh well. Dallas lost as planned. We get to play them once or twice more don't we?

 

[KingSpeed]

Stupid play call by Dallas at the end.

They were trying to lose. Where was Dirk?

 

[Labinot41]

Fucking tank team

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Harrell is a beast

 

[ripcityboy]

Whenever I think of team's tanking.....

"Corndogs, Jackie. Corndogs!"

They really aren't.

 

[e_blazer]

Once, but we have Memphis twice.

Everyone you laugh at a team were competing against losing in the middle of a game to a bad team, they win. Jinxspeed...

Everyone has a chance at the 3 seed.

Uhhh, they've had a very easy schedule, including tonight when they played SAS who was without Kawhi, Gasol, and Aldridge (mostly).
