Around the NBA - March 2018

I know the nuggets game when to 2 OT, they just don’t play any defense. They are not giving themselves a good chance to make the playoffs.

They need a coach and a leader

 

[Strenuus]

Dont be too sad about Nuggets fans - they have a different type of Nugget they can enjoy all summer long.

You gotta be Jokic...

wait.

Fucking Warriors are not helping us out right now.

 

[DDolla]

Fucking Warriors are not helping us out right now.

They have a G League team playing

We want Warriors to lose. All 4 All Stars have serious injuries. We can get 2 seed.

I do love that Lavar Ball said the Lakers were gonna make the playoffs this year, and they didn't. lol.

I miss being able to have serious, logical basketball discussion on this forum. Now it's spam about us being able to clinch the 2 seed that will continue even after we've been mathematically eliminated from the 2 seed.

I mean, we don't control our own destiny to the 2, so @KingSpeed does have a point. I'd be happy with the 3, all things considered. If the chips fall and we get the 2, bonus. If not, a top 3 seed for this team is amazing. Win-win. (I'm also not saying we're a lock to get the 3 seed, just using the alternative)

We have no realistic chance at the 2 seed.

We have no realistic chance at the 2 seed.

This is what I was referring to, since we don't control our own destiny. I never said it was realisitic, but that it we were not eliminated. I, too, doubt we get the 2. But keeping the 3 would be a huge win in it of itself, and THAT we do have control over.

Here's an updated magic number sheet. Nine for 3rd seed!

Exactly though. So much talk about something we have no chance at is what I'm talking about.

Not arguing that, either. lol.

 

[LayneStaley]

I’m drinking gallons of the Kool Aid nowadays BUT no way we make up 9 games in the final 3 1/2 weeks.

 

[KingSpeed]

We have no realistic chance at the 2 seed.

Blazers are changing what is realistic every night.

 

[BonesJones]

Blazers are changing what is realistic every night.

Sorry dude, but Blazers can't change mathematical probability.

I bet you $100 we don't get the 2 seed.

 

[KingSpeed]

You can't afford that

No we can't. Please stop this nonsense.

 

[BonesJones]

What do you mean? I can afford to win money.

Spurs beating the depleted Warriors helps because it creates more separation between them and Houston, which might change how the Rockets look at their game vs us. They probably don’t feel like they need every win to keep the 1 seed.

Hopefully Houston plays all their guys, I want to beat them at full strength and put the league on notice. But acting like we have a chance at the 2 seed is dumb.

 

[THE HCP]

You’re new around here huh?

Fuck putting the league on notice. I want to win.

I think that too, but dammit if Jinxspeed isn't working his voodoo magic on the Warriors at the moment. Right as he starts talking about us catching them, half their team gets injured.

Well to put the league on notice we gotta win, so....

And it won't mean a thing

I know he's about winding up people but sometimes it just doesn't make ANY sense.

His team isn't in danger of missing the playoffs. The gulf between 8 & 9 is 6 games. The East playoff teams are all basically locked in.
