Yes, but he tries to flip flop between positions without ever acknowledging he previously argued against it. So, he's simultaneously always right and always wrong.

Brooklyn will probably make the play-in but they could miss it. That’s not a flip flop. That’s English. Relax man. I don’t want to get in a series of personal attacks with you.

The 9 seed doesn't miss the play-in, so those are contradictory positions. If he was saying they're on the bubble and could go either way, that might be a reasonable view. But, he tries to argue one side of it (usually the less sensible one), then abruptly jumps ship and hopes no one notices he's now taking the other side. Surely, you've noticed the pattern over the years?

There was no flip flop, man. Read carefully.

No, but I've been in and out this season. I'll be the first to say that I don't know much about him, per se so I didn't really see the issue with his posts. Just IMO.
 
Just saying, if 'Dipo rounds back into form by the time the playoffs start, the Heat have a chance to be scary good.
 
Suns really didn’t have any problems at all with the Heat.
 
Lakers going down in flames in OT at Houston even with a triple-double by LeBron.

Pels after their hot streak coming back down to earth. We need someone to get hot and overtake them for 10th.
 
Rockets shot 51%.

Offensive stat-wise, the Lakers had the kind of numbers that usually win, but they can't defend anyone.
 
They won the turnover stat, the rebound stat, the assist stat, got to the line 7 more times ... and lost by 9 in OT.
 
Magic winning in New Orleans without a 20-point scorer, but the Pels shot 22% from 3.

If we're not careful, with our easy schedule, we could pass them. Might need to waive Brandon Williams. He's playing too well.
 
jalen green has arrived, rockets are lucky to get such a talented player right after they lost james harden

And the Suns didn't have any problem at all beating them on their own court with Bam, Herro, Robinson, Tucker, Lowry, Vincent, Martin and Deadmon.
I agree Butler is a big part of that team but the Heat are supposed to be the best in the East right now. The Suns defense simply smothered them.
 
I took a pretty good look at standings and winning percentages.
The East is a real battle. Between the 1st seed and the 6th seed you have a difference of 5 games with essentially 15 games left. The Bulls and Sixers have 17 games left.
With a .600 winning percentage you can figure about 10 more wins. Whatever team goes on a roll will move up quickly. The end of the season is going to be exciting in the East.

Now the West #1 is locked up pretty much but again #2 through #6 is a toss up. Even the 7th seed Timberwolves could still get home court with a few good wins.
The Suns with a 8.5 game lead over the Grizzlies with 16 games left would take a complete meltdown to lose that #1 position.
But seriously who had the Nets in the 8th seed and the Lakers in the 9th seed with 15 games left?

The biggest question mark in the West to me is the Nuggets. Essentially tied with the Mavs in 5th seed ( They are 6th due to position games) They get Will barton and Jeff Green back today. They get Porter back in 10 days. They get Murray back in 15 days. All just in time to make the playoffs and shake things up a bit?

The Warriors are the next question mark? 44 wins and pretty solid in 3rd if there is a solid spot. They get Iggy, Porter and Payton back by this weekend. Wiseman and Draymond back by next week. We all know they were right there with the Suns before Draymond went out.

There is absolutely nothing to see with the Blazers but the playoffs for the NBA this year might be a bunch of fun to watch?

It's a disaster. We're not improving our draft position at all tonight.

there was some positive movement: Blazers moved 2.5 games 'ahead' of the Knicks. The two teams were tied just a few days ago. Still only a half game behind the Spurs but there are 3 games left against them; 2 in San Antonio. Hopefully, Pop can work some magic in favor of Portland for once
 
Blows my mind, how can the Clippers afford all this contract? Why can’t Jody do the same thing like what Steve Balmare is doing?
 
Watching Nets and Sixers and compare to our team. I’m so jealous
 
phila cant beat brooklyn in a 7 game series and they dont even have simmons

im taking durant/kyrie over embiid/harden in the playoffs, theyre proven playoff performers, the other two not so much
 
If the Sixers had good players, they’d be so good.
