Of all the players to single out, they go after Dame. Just hilarious

I watched a rocketes game a few days ago and Harden had 3 flops way worse then that.

Remember last year we’re happy we got the Pelicans, we need to pray we don’t get OKC in the first round. It could be deja vu

Huh? We got the team we wanted and got swept. So how would getting the team we dont want and getting swept mean deja vu?

We would've had more success against OKC than New Orleans last year. I dont want OKC but after last year, I dont care that much.

I am now a little nervous that the Jazz could lose their last two games. (Vs Denver and @ the Clips.)
OKC ha two tough remaining games but if the Bucks rest their players? OKC could move into 5th

We want Clips to beat Jazz. OKC needs to beat Houston but lose to Bucks. Then we get 3 seed against Clippers provided we win out:

How would it be deja vu? Almost everyone here is saying they don’t want to play OKC. That said, I don’t remember anyone being happy about playing Pelicans. Everyone wanted OKC who we swept.

Hmm--interesting theory. I hadn't noticed before that both the losses in OKC were on the second-half of road back-to-backs (one after playing at elevation in Utah, and the other after that deflating blown 4th quarter in Dallas); and the most recent home loss was the first game back home after the 7-game road trip.

You may have a point--if "energy" really was an issue (and it very well may have been), the Thunder may well not be as bad a matchup for us as the season series would indicate.

I love the matchup. The last game with them was a toss up and Dame scored 51. If they can’t stop Dame, they will lose a series to us.

Yup. The lesson that was learned is that, even in a favorable match-up we're at a huge disadvantage because Terry shits the bed in the POs. Will this be the season he finally has a counter to the Dame double-team? Not holding my breath!

Please list all the coaches currently in the NBA that have won two playoff series without HCA.

Are you going on record by saying that Russell Westbrook is NOT and elite player? What in the fuck?
Click to expand...
Westbrook has never won a playoff series without KD and his shooting this season was horrific. Almost the worst of all time. He’s on the bubble for making All NBA third team.

Sigh. They're play more physical and tepa him. Theyll be able to shut him down more than anyone. 1 game doesnt change that, especially now that Nurkic is out.
 
It’s Super Tuesday!

OKC beats Houston
Jazz beats Nuggets
Blazers beats Lakers

Is that what we all want in here?
 
Maybe someone else commented on this already, but it's the first time I've seen it. So, Dame gets a warning for flopping after Plumlee pushes him in the chest? Sure, he exaggerated his fall, but how is it a flop if there was definitely a foul?

It was the extra drama at the end. He definitely flopped. I shouldn't have shown the angle from behind in the replay, cause it really showed it. Can't believe they picked Dame to warm though. Of all the players that flop.

Oh, he definitely sold that thing like a pimp on Broadway, but I don't see how they can call it a flop if he was actually fouled. Guys do this every night in the NBA. Harden does it every time he has a player within 10 feet of him.
 
How can you warn about a flop when you are fouled. Fucking silly. I mean that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of. Flop whenever you want I say. With a player sprawled on the court, opponents have clear advantage. And yeah don't even bring up Harden. He makes a living flopping, and a good one at that.
 
is there a scenario to where we play the Spurs in the playoffs? or is it just either OKC or Utah?

No no no, you really want OKC in the 1st round? I just dont get it, they would kill us. I see so many blazers fans cheering for an OKC win, just to get them to the 6th. No no no

Im not sure why OKC is that scary to you. Could they beat the Blazers? Yeah of course. So could any of those teams down there.
I think the Blazers would have a legitimate shot at any of those teams too though.

The Nuggets/Jazz game doesn't have a big impact on Portland. I'd actually argue that we want Nuggets to beat Jazz. There is no possible way for Portland to get a higher seed than Denver.

If Houston looses & Blazers win, Blazers would win 3rd seed with a win Wednesday night (Kings).

OKC can get to 5th seed with 2 wins (Rockets/Bucks) AND 2 Utah losses (Nuggets/Clippers).

It this scenario, the playoff match-ups would be Portland (3) vs Utah (6) and Houston (4) vs OKC (5).

Yes, okc beats Houston tonight, we win our last two games, okc loosing their last game in Milwaukee and Spurs winning their last game against Dallas. But here is the problem, why should Milwaukee play their best players in their last meaningless game ? They have no reason to do that, i'm sure Milwaukee sends a G-League starting 5 on the court against OKC
