OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA THREAD -May 2021

Utah and Phoenix will try and beat us and help the Lakers to move to the 6th spot. They Don’t want to see the Lakers in the first round

So I guess the league is not going to punish Luka for his shot to Sexton's jewel's the other night. I think teams should give him one shot a night at least into his jewels since the league is okay with a windup and hit.

Agreed

Because “That stuff happens all the time and it obviously isn’t intentional or anything “.

phila will have 50% capacity in the playoffs

after june 11, there will be no restrictions, meaning they can have full capacity

And people say the league isn't insanely biased.

I’m hoping NYC will go full capacity. Those fans deserve to be a part of this Knicks renaissance.

NBA records since the all-star break:

I think that was before last night's games

considering that Portland had one of the toughest SOS's since the break, they've done pretty well. Still the Blazer SOS ranks anywhere from 23rd (espn) to 29th (bbref)

 

[DDolla]

Knicks and Grizzlies… Let’s GO!!!!!!

Damn straight. The league is better when the Knicks are good. It's been like, what, 10 years ago where we saw a full crowd at MSG supporting a relevant Knicks team?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Lakers need a win tonight.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Grizzlies and Dallas even late in the 2nd quarter.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Grizzlies by 3 at half!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Last playoff run was 2013. They won a first round series against Boston, I think. Then lost to Pacers maybe?

Also- wouldn’t a Knicks-Heat series be awesome with their history?

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Go Grizz!!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Oh shit Ja with the Magic Johnson no look pass! I was fooled!

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Ja is awesome. Totally dominating Luka. If Lakers caught this team on the wrong night of the 8th seed play-in, they could lose.

Yep. Pacers won in 6.

And yes, a series between these two current squads will be great. Julius Randle and Jimmy Butler led squads should be pretty good.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Poor Boston fans. Three ECF appearances in 4 years without a series win and now they’re in the play-in and may very well lose it.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Um is Dillon Brooks good?

 

[Strenuus]

Poor Boston fans. Three ECF appearances in 4 years without a series win and now they’re in the play-in and may very well lose it.

Poor portland fans. 1 WCF in 9 years with no conference final game won.

Not feeling too bad for Boston.

Yes but we’re healthier with better prospects than Boston right now. I’d rather be a Portland fan than Boston fan right now.

 

[illmatic99]

Grizzlies--Mavs.... what have we here. Don't wanna jinx it

 

[blazerkor]

Grizzlies--Mavs.... what have we here

The Grizz winning that game. I think there will be some in here making a big deal about our team being in the fifth slot after this game but those people better take a look at the schedules.

 

[Strenuus]

Thats a matter of opinion. Of course you'd say that.

Boston plays in an easier conference, with a fake top team in Milwaukee and fragile Philly. We have *checks notes and then gestures wildly at the western conference* all this.

 

[KSF-ERIC]

Poor portland fans. 1 WCF in 9 years with no conference final game won.

Can’t wait for your post next year. Only 1 NBA Championship in 9 years. I’m convinced the people that are negative will stay negative even if we win it all. TEN people here want Stotts fired even if we win it all. Many people will say it has an asterisk because Players X and Z were injured. Negative people will always be negative.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Thanks to Memphis, we have control of our destiny. Definitely not an easy road ahead, but it is there.

Big Knicks fans tonight!
