Which part did I jinx? Saying Nuggets were getting crushed or saying Grizzlies were gonna find a way to lose??

Shhhhhh, just let it happen quietly. This would be huge.

Aldridge dominated Towns in the first half. Has 22 points.

I don't wanna say man, figure it out.

For a guy who insists he's not a center, he always played his best against centers. Superstitions are weird.

OH! I KNOW! It's your penis right? Your penis will be huge because it'll be fully engorged!

After Houston beat the Clippers, Doc Rivers was fined for criticizing the Refs with no calls. Now it’s Alvin Gentry’s turn. It’s a conspiracy folks, you get no calls when you play the Rockets

 

[KingSpeed]

Bulls tied up with Cavs now. Cavs are terrible. If they somehow lose, they fall to 5th seed.

To be fair they are playing guys named Holland and Perrantes

 

[Strenuus]

I know it was not really a Warriors team they were up against but Kings have been playing quite well lately. They will get a top 7 pick anyway and to be fair it's a toss who will be the best pick in top 7 so they may as well win a few games while they can.

Saw them against Magic where I needed them to not win by more than 11 to win a $1.5k in a bet and they almost won that one by more than 11. Saw them last night and against Miami too, in all these games they were actually playing half decent basketball, defended well and Bogdanovic was fun.

Dang, you put that amount of money on kings/magic...

I want disposable income! lol!

Post up somewhere on 82nd and get that money

Blazers Will

 

[DDolla]

Down Goes Denver!

 

[KingSpeed]

Spurs are in 5th now, for the moment

 

[KingSpeed]

Three game win streak took Spurs from 10th to 5th. But if Jazz win...

 

[KingSpeed]

nice first half

 

[KingSpeed]

Jazz winning streak in jeopardy

 

[KingSpeed]

could this be Dame's first triple double?

 

[H.C.]

Denver is such ass on the road jesus.
@KingSpeed going to need you to go to those denver forums and tell them how bad they are.
Just make sure you thank them again for Nurk.

Alvin Gentry went off at refs in his postgame interview

Because 5th seed is TERRIBLE!

 

[DDolla]

Tough game tomorrow for the Blazers. Let’s see if they have enough legs to win this one.

 

[Sarni]

No, I put $50 on an 8-game accumulator and $1.5k was my winnings. Kings v Magic was the final game of that accumulator as I liked the odds on Magic +11.5 as I didn't believe either team was capable of blowing out the other. I was wrong but the final few seconds saved me so I won.

 

[KingSpeed]

Because 5th seed is TERRIBLE!

They're basically living off a 18-1 stretch earlier in the year when they had an entirely different team. Right now? They're awful. I truly believe they will lose in the first round. It's not like LeBron has another gear he can go to. He's been playing out of his mind all season. People like Clarkson and Hood will not be ready for playoff pressure.

THE HISTORY OF COACH TRADES

Milwaukee gave the Nets two 2nd round picks for Jason Kidd.

Clippers gave Boston a 1st round pick for Doc Rivers.

Miami gave the Knicks a 1st round pick for Pat Riley.

Miami gave Orlando the right to swap 1st round picks and an additional 2nd round pick for Stan Van Gundy. But he wasn’t even their coach anymore, having resigned several years earlier to let Pat Riley become Coach.

Any more?

 

[kjironman1]

They're basically living off a 17-1 stretch earlier in the year when they had an entirely different team. Right now? They're awful. I truly believe they will lose in the first round. It's not like LeBron has another gear he can go to. He's been playing out of his mind all season. People like Clarkson and Hood will not be ready for playoff pressure.

They played a game against the Blazers with Nance, Love and Thompson out with Hood hobbled. Those players make that team deep. Thinking any different is crazy talk. Then they have this guy on their team that happens to be the best player on the planet.

@BonesJones Did you see this about Hernangomez? Does it change your mind at all about being mad about not acquiring him?

Team stats for the last ten games

We are getting absolutely carried by our defense.

Never in my life would I have thought we'd see that in the Dame/CJ era.
