OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

Amazing. Washington got 8 seed outright on final day of season. After being 15 games below .500. Now they wish there wasn't a play-in tournament. I bet they beat Boston now. Should be good. We now know two matchups. Boston will play Washington and Charlotte will play Indiana.

memphis-warriors battle for 8th seed. i wonder who the league wants to win.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Suns rest 4 of their starters and still win. They can still get 1 seed.

Might want Memphis. That would put GS in the 9/10 game. Spread out the star power. Warriors/Spurs is better ratings than Grizzlies/Spurs.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

I wonder how the Sixers, Jazz, and Suns feel about maybe not knowing their opponent until Friday. That's a big disadvantage. Meanwhile, 3/6 and 4/5 can prepare for each other all week.

Good for him.

Good. Make it a little more difficult for the #1 and #2 seeds to advance. I'm all for it.

Dude is still ducking rims. He's a freak and I think he'll keep playing for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to pass Vince with 22 seasons in the league, especially if playing with Bronny would be an option... which it looks like it might be. MJ may or may not be the GOAT but LeBron is the freakiest thing we've ever seen in the league. Nothing close to being like him.

Shaq was also quite the physical specimen. A man his size, so athletic, and moved so well was special.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Curry is shooting 13/32. He just missed a shot and they said “A rare miss by Curry!” Wut? Talk about overrated.

Lol

16/36 and 9/22 for 3. He was amazing in 2nd half. The amount of work this guy puts to fight through all those screens. He never stands still. It's really art what he is doing. Genius.

He was 6 out of 18 and they literally said “a rare miss!”

Yeah stupid commentary doesn't take away from his greatness.

Cmon Denver just tank, I would like to see scoring Champ Curry and the red hot Warriors against the Lakers

 

[DDolla]

Nuggets are playing their starters… maybe for just 5mins lol

Everyone wants Warriors/Lakers though I’m sure the league wouldn’t mind Dame vs Steph.

 

[DDolla]

“This is a must lose game” - Nuggets fans

 

[Tince]

The plan is in place:

Nuggets want to lose
Clippers want to lose

 

[DDolla]

Let the Tank starts now

 

[Mr. Robot]

if both nuggets and clippers lose, mavs will too

im not sure they want to play clippers in the 1st round

 

[Tince]

They will have to make that adjustment in real time. I suspect the OKC/LAC game to be close since they're both trying to tank!

 

[julius]

I'm confused. if the Nuggets lose aren't the clippers 3rd, even if they lose? Didn't the clippers win the season series?

 

[DDolla]

LOL Clippers

 

[DDolla]

Nope Denver holds the tie break

 

[THE HCP]

Is THIS where we are talking about the seedings?

Yessir big bro!

Fire Stotts

 

[Road Ratt]

All this tanking will force the Lakers into the play-in tournament. As long as they come out of that they will play the Suns in the first round. Seems like a good strategy, by everyone, to tank today.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Watched the Clipper game. They lost on purpose. They did not foul in the last 27 seconds. They wanted Dallas and not Portland.
