Around the NBA - March 2018

[Chris Craig]

Wow, Aldridge isn't playing tonight. If SA somehow wins, then the Rockets (and TT) are garbage.

Spurs probably play better without LaMartha

I'd like to see our Blazers face the Spurs in the 1st round. Make it happen!

I want to see the Spurs miss the playoffs entirely. I want the LMA era to be the worst in decades.

I want to face OKC. There would be nothing sweeter than knocking out Melo and PG13.

 

[KingSpeed]

Brandon Jennings has 11 points 9 assists and 6 rebounds in 13 minutes of play off the bench! Wowza.

 

[Labinot41]

Okc plays ugly bball

 

[KingSpeed]

Jazz have won 11 straight on the road, that is amazing. They may get to 4th seed.

 

[KingSpeed]

OKC Big 3 10-14 from three right now

 

[KingSpeed]

Man I'm so glad we get to play Memphis twice more. Dallas too.

 

[KingSpeed]

Kings are only down 1 in OKC with 12 minutes left.

 

[KingSpeed]

And the Kings are up 1!

 

[KingSpeed]

Rule #1: Never root for the Kings. Not in the 2002 WCF. Not tonight. They will disappoint you.

Very wise advice.

 

[KingSpeed]

OKC wins their 40th

Their next game is against Atlanta so add another one

We'll see.

 

[Sarni]

I didn't even think Memphis were capable of the run they are currently on.

I will never understand why they did not let Evans go. He's wasting his time there. I am not even sure he is genuinely injured, think he is just being kept away from the team in order not to improve their chances to win.

Or you jinx them. Idk.

It's fun to joke around, but you have to know deep in your heart that jinxes are not a real thing. Let @KingSpeed do his thing. It doesn't effect the games one way or the other.

Wrong, they're as real as aliens.

Can you imagine if Kawhi gets into shape and a healthy Spurs team gets the 8th seed and faces Houston in the first round? And if Pops found a way to defeat D'Antoni yet again?

 

[DDolla]

Marcus Smart Out indefinitley with Thumb injury

Steph Curry's 30th birthday party

Steph seems to be getting around pretty well on that ankle.

50 wins is looking like a real possibility... just crazy. I would have laughed in your face if you told me in December that the Blazers could have 50 wins and be the 3rd seed by the end of the season.

Shows what I know and also shows what Dame is capable of.

The west is a blood bath. I remember when 50 wins wasn't that big of a deal.

I think we finish 9-6, looking at our schedule. That’s still good for 50-32
