OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: APRIL 2023

[Fairly-Hard]

I'd also like to point out that the teams that are in playoffs are probably trying to tighten up their rotation a bit and play the minutes they are going to get or just shy of unless they are whoopin a team.

Like the last two whoopings the Blazers just got.

Wait, so the Lakers actually eliminated the Blazers from playoff contention.....ohhhhh DAMN!

7 of 30 teams have won over 58% of their games. 14 of 30 teams are below 500.
This league is built around mediocrity and that's one of the reason why they want an in-season tourney.
Wouldnt surprise me to eventually see a pre season/summer league type tourney down the road.

Don't the Timbers have a mini-championship thing with just 3 teams?

I think the NBA is trying to follow soccers model of various in season tourneys.

Some call that league-wide mediocrity, whilst others call it parity.

Cascadia Cúp I think it's called with Seattle and Vancouver

 

[DDolla]

Would you trade Dame for 5 players and 5 first round picks like the Gobert Trade

God Minnesota is dumb.

Spurs look like they're going to beat the Kings in OT. I think we sit Shae for these final four games and all of them will be really hard for us to even keep close.

Mavericks went to last year's WCF and now may not even make the play-in. Wild

At this point, it’s time to talk about Dorian-Finney Smith for MVP. He’s at least in the conversation.

 

[KingSpeed]

Wow, Seth Curry bricked a pair of FTs in crunch time. You won’t see that happening often.

Same thing (almost) happened to the Blazers a few years back. It's weird how quickly a team can go from conference finals to looking on the outside.

 

[inconceivable]

Nuggets sitting Jokic will cost him the MVP. It's a toss-up between him and Embiid to begin with. They're locked for 1 in West so I get resting him for playoffs.

But isn't there incentive for them to conti nue winning, like HCA in the Finals?

I like it.
Shut him down, we'll say it's altitude sickness.

UghA. It’s really funny.

Mavs thinking about tanking rest of season.

 

[Shaboid]

Anybody going to check this out? If only we had @jlprk are to give us the play by play.

 

[Dom McBlazer]

I'm curious. If the Lakers and Warriors finish with the same record, who gets the tiebreaker. I feel like it's inevitable that the Lakers will get the 6th seed that they so want.

This is the (Kyrie) way.

You're the one who sent me a message telling me that, and asked me NOT to tell anyone.
