OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

[Rastapopoulos]

Suns taking advantage of Utah being without Mitchell & Conley and have moved into 1st place in the wet, and NBA, by virtue of the tiebreaker. Phoenix is 3-0 against the Jazz

It wasn't televised because...
Lakers vs Kings

When you're a star, "Missed" becomes "Nearly hit"

When you're a star, "Missed" becomes "Nearly hit"

That was the bad shot Paul George was talking about 2 years ago.

He didn't nearly hit that

LAPD union calls for NBA investigation into LeBron James

over 'dangerous' tweet

what James tweeted was kind of dumb...but some of the reaction to it is light years beyond stupid

 

[twobullz]

Not sure if this is true or not, but if he signs with Cleveland does that impact what we owe him this season?

[wizenheimer]

I'm not sure if it would change Portland's numbers. I'd bet not because he was stretched by the Blazers

 

[kjironman1]

Somebody who isn't ignored by a bunch of people start the May thread dangit!

Since I don’t think anyone has me on on ignore, I’ll start one.

Beat me by a minute!!!

Merge!

 

[Dom McBlazer]

As talented as Anthony Davis is, he can’t be the #1 on a team. Couldn’t do it in New Orleans and can’t do it when LeBron is out.

I'm sure he's aware of this fact. That's the reason why he wanted out of New Orleans (with a little convincing from Rich Paul).

 

[Dom McBlazer]

I know the Clips can make a comeback, but are the Nugs really their kryptonite? Another underwhelming performance from PG13 against DEN.

While we would be far from the favorite, I think Denver finishing #3 and us finishing #6 is by far our best (realistic) chance in the 1st round.

Stupid Wizards had Dallas beat and let them off the hook.

I thought the same thing!

Russ didn't have a triple double.

Dallas keeps on winning and has the easiest schedule. They can go up to the 5th spot while we are either on the 7th or 8th. Either one, the Blazers are going to play in games… just sad when they have a good hold of that 6th spot and they blew it.

Agree that Dallas has the best shot at being #5.

Theres a decent chance Portland can grab #6 & force the Lakers into the playin games

No but you had posts yesterday in the Around the NBA April thread so when I moved them to this thread it makes it look like you started the thread.

We might get to 5th tonight. How would we fall to 8th? We have 3 game lead on Grizzlies.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Problem is they won’t have control over which seed Lakers get on that same night. Like last night, Nuggets rose the 3 seed to avoid Lakers but Lakers fell to 6th. I would love a Lakers/Clippers first round though. Would be awesome to have one of them take an early exit.
