LMAO, Brad Stevens called a timeout 29 seconds into the Celtics-Nets game.

Good thing we have such basketball in this terrible dark time in the Pac-12. Otherwise what would we do with ourselves,

I’m a Beav so I’m not complaining.

Yeah. You won two whole league games when the conference is having it's worst year in existence. That's front page of the Oregonian type material, that is.

Gotta start somewhere.

I like Tinkle. He's a good coach. Winning with a fan base like that who has such unrealistic expectations at times, has to be difficult.

The Western Athletic Conference is better than the Pac-12 this year! San Fransisco would be the best team in the Pac-12 right now hahaha.

 

[tlongII]

The PAC-12 sucks this year, but we actually have a chance. If we could make the dance I’d be in heaven!

I think Washington will actually win it most likely. They have a totally easy schedule and haven't had half their team fall apart like the Ducks.

 

[illmatic99]

Boston is going to make a move

 

[BonesJones]

Dallas should try to maximize cap space this summer to go after guys like Randle and Vucevic.

ORL Gets: Dennis Smith Jr, Harrison Barnes
DAL Gets: D.J. Augustin, Terrence Ross, Jonathan Simmons, Orlando's 2019 1st (Top 7 Protected)

Makes sense for both teams.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That intro for Tony Parker tonight, that was legit. Great career.

Warriors just blowing out Denver.

 

[CupWizier]

Hawks destroy the Thunder tonight.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

Golden State is just wrecking Denver, wow.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

And the Sixers demolished the Wolves too. Never seen a season where scoring 140 is becoming prevalent, but then again I haven't kept up with this season (only scoreboard watching).

 

[DDolla]

If you are making the NBA TV schedule, how can you make Lakers vs the Bulls on National TV and not Warriors at Nuggets? Really NBA?

 

[DDolla]

Golden State is just wrecking Denver, wow.

If only CJ can play like Klay Thompson

 

[SlyPokerDog]

 

[SheedSoNasty]

4 teams scored more than 130 tonight and not that many games played and none went into OT. This has been an interesting season to say the least.

Warriors proving what everyone was saying preseason - Denver has some offensive weapons, but their defense is flawed.

So, did Denver suddenly play good defense against the Blazers, or were the Blazers sloppy on offense?

I think the Warriors woke up and what is really sad is that even a 50% DeMarcus Cousins will make them an even better team. When we last beat Golden State I thought how nice it was that they didn't have McGee or West anymore. We had an inside advantage and a depth advantage. With Cousins joining Warriors, we have neither advantage. Sucks. By the way, I don't think Denver will finish with a Top 4 seed. You heard it here first.

 

[Sarni]

I like Atlanta's team to be honest. Huerter has been great recently.

They will have two top 10 picks in the draft too. Could be interesting.

 

[Sarni]

There's a perfect deal to be made between Dallas and New Orleans, Smith for Randle. Gives Dallas a perfect pick and roll target for Doncic who will fit in much better, and they got the cap space to re-sign him in the Summer, and gives New Orleans a good scorer. They don't really need Randle, he doesn't fit in that great with Davis and they won't be able to keep him beyond this season.

Then NOP should go all out to get some wings like Ross, Prince or Bazemore. Maybe that would help them get to the playoffs and keep Davis and if not, at least they have a young asset under their control in Smith which they will be able to play with whatever young assets they receive for AD.

 

[Titan]

Man, James Harden has to do it all. Still couldn’t beat the nets. 145 to 142, crazy high score

 

[trailblazer18]

Harden is just unreal during this stretch.

 

[KeepOnRollin]

It was an overtime game but Jarrett Allen had 20 points and 24 rebounds.
