Around the NBA - March 2018

[LayneStaley]

36+ min for KD(39), Klay, Dray. We will see how that plays during the final 7 min tomorrow, otherwise known as Dame Time.

 

[StumptownHoliday]

We have 2 game lead over Spurs. Take that in.

Ain't the spurs I'm concerned with. It's the pellies.

Anthony Davis is a hurt so maybe that will knock them back a little in the W column. They are currently on our asses.

 

[BonesJones]

I actually have no doubt about that. I think @KingSpeed could have shot that better.
I would have gotten my shot blocked. .haha

@KingSpeed's form ain't good though man! Those three straight threes were the flukiest thing I've ever seen. He would've airballed that!

How badly is he hurt? Minor injuries ain't gonna stop that nuclear-powered train.

 

[LayneStaley]

Curry out tomorrow per Kerr

Curry out tomorrow per Kerr

No surprise

I wanna wafflestomp them, how awesome would it be for this teams confidence to beat GS by 20 tomorrow!

Sounds tasty

I heard Davis is day to day with a sprained ankle

20? How about 30.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Ok, so now they can't even hide Curry by throwing him on CJ - time to take advantage of a big break!

 

[Pinwheel1]

Thank you, sir. It was a great win for a struggling program. Been some great matchups between the Dawgs and Beavs this year. We can raise a glass to a ducks loss against Utah tonight.

Thought I would raise one instead

 

[e_blazer]

20? How about 30.

I feel for the Warriors losing Curry. How will they carry on with just Durant, Green, Thompson, Iguodala and Livingston?

Iguodala, West and Bell were all out tonight. May me know their expected status for tomorrow night's game?

AD in the last game he played, he was wearing padding for bruised ribs. Now he has an sprained ankle as well.
Minor injuries add up imo, especially for players injury prone like him. W
ho knows what will hurt AD next.
A hang nail, taking out the trash, maybe a difficult poo.
Either way something else is coming.

 

[SIeepwalker]

Sure, use an example that could never happen.

If you look at the standings page those teams would be tied. The 75% team would be ahead because they have a better win percentage but they are still tied in the standings. I've said in every one of my posts that the Clippers are the 8th seed.

Ughhhhhhh, they haven't played the same amount of games. When they do the team with the better win percentage does get the higher seed because they have a better record.

Look, regardless of the time of the season, the team that win the highest %age of it's game has the better record.

Basic shit really

Silly Marv Albert says no Rocket has played a Finals game. Harden has played 5. Ariza has played 11.

Well technically he was right on Harden

[kjironman1]

It didn't go over my head, it is irrelevant because teams play the same amount of games. Your example had teams with different games back and different games played. The real life example has equal games back, not the same thing.

Hoops your wrong on this one bro. Every team is ranked on Percentage until the end of the season when a tie comes into play. If they have the same winning percentage they are tied. At the end of the season they implement "Tie Breakers" if needed.

Shhhhhhhhhh, don't complain.

It's really good having you here Lanny.

Wow, the Ducks won! I got too tired and went to bed with them down 11. Good job boys!

If I'd been more alert, I would have created a "Ducks in the Final Four!" thread last night.

I can't stand Krystkowiak, so this win was extremely enjoyable. I believe they have knocked the Utes out of the Pac 12 tourney now 7 times since he has been HC.

I think you guys are misunderstanding what I am saying or I'm doing a horrible job of explaining it which is more likely. From the beginning I acknowledged that the Clippers are ranked higher because the team with the higher win percentage is the higher seed and has the better record.

 

[LayneStaley]

Iguodala, West and Bell were all out tonight. May me know their expected status for tomorrow night's game?

I believe only curry and bell are out tonight.

 

[THE HCP]

Pizza delivery guy?

 

[Boob-No-More]

I believe only curry and bell are out tonight.

Iguodala and West are both currently listed as questionable. Sounds like it will be a game time decision on both of them.

Regardless of who steps between those lines, POR needs to take care of business and get this win tonight.

NOT IN OUR HOUSE FAMS! Win this game for Dame! MVP!

Yep, since that early season 6-game home losing streak, we're 14-1 at home. Gotta keep that home court dominance rolling!
