Dude is American English slang for an individual, typically male.[1] From the 1870s to the 1960s, dude primarily meant a person who dressed in an extremely fashionable manner (a dandy) or a conspicuous citified person who was visiting a rural location, a "city slicker". In the 1960s, dude evolved to mean any male person, a meaning that slipped into mainstream American slang in the 1970s. Current slang retains at least some use of all three of these common meanings.[2]


Sounds to me like a dude could be a male bitch....

I actually didn't know this. But after hearing it, I can't believe I didn't put it together myself. They both scream like banshee bitches.

That's where Thibs made a name for himself. He was the defensive coach for the 2008 Celtics championship team. Then Chicago snatched him up.

I’m worried more against the Lakers than OKC

That's game I'm most worried about too. OKC and Knicks will be easy wins. Hopefully, 8 straight wins going into two days of rest for home game against GS. We can make up more ground to 2nd seed.

3 through 7 seeds in the West only separated by half a game. That's insanely tight.

Teams like us and New Orleans are about to create some separation from the others. Final 8 is likely....

GS
Houston
Portland
New Orleans
Spurs
OKC
Nuggets
Clippers

NYK game is 3rd in 4 nights and on a b2b. i'd be surprised if that game was any easier than the most recent suns game.
You know where Portland was down 15 with 6 minutes left.

Suns had all their players. Knicks don't.

No final 8 order is likely, just like no one dice roll is likely. It's gonna be some random combination. I still doubt we get home court advantage.

NOPE, not a tie. We have tiebreaker. We are third. Spurs are 4th, Thunder are 5th. And Wolves have fallen to 6th.

If is not a tie than why does a tiebreaker come into play?

It's a tie in terms of record.

Just cause you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s worse. Players aren’t shooting enough threes yet mathematically.

I never said today's game is worse, I said it's less enjoyable.

The three is why these players are dominating and if they played this exact game in 1988 they’d score even more than they do now.

That's exactly my point, and yet you got it completely backwards. These same players would not be playing with today's style 30 years ago. The players themselves didn't magically transform. The style of play and skills emphasis did. 30 years ago, they would have come up with a more well-rounded skill set.

A skill set which is demonstrably less useful in the NBA. I’m not talking about if they’d been born in the 50’s. I’m talking about time traveling back from a world that actually can do math to figure out shooting threes is important rather than relying on old wives tales and folk wisdom about what’s the best way to play the game.

Lol at Wiggins with the missed FT hat trick. Dude gets fouled on a 3-point attempt and then misses all three free throws.

Remember when Russ did it against us earlier this season? Let's hope he plays that way tonight.
 
Sixers are a legit team. Great comeback against Hornets at home last night. The excitement around the team fight now might help them lure big free agents (LeBron I am talking about you).

The chemistry they have between Embiid, Simmons and Saric is great.
