The Official Around the NBA: March 2019 edition

lakers will likely be eliminated after tonight, but if not, it's a matter of time.

You know what, as much as I hate the Lakers I actually would love to see this scenario play out and yes I know it won't happen.

I just watched that whole video and I feel great now. Thank you.

 

[THE HCP]

It sure seems like the Blazers play a lot of teams missing important players.... @ThePosterFormerlyKnownAsTheHCP

Is it just me?

Ideal situation is that the lakers finish with the best record out of the non playoff teams and they get the 14th pick.

You are right of course, but still it would be kind of fun to watch Westbrook blow a few gaskets if OKC lost the rest of their games.
As impossible is that scenario is......

Zion will be a Laker next season!

 

[Propagandist]

Zion will be a Laker next season!

Blasphemy!

 

[THE HCP]

Blasphemy!

And KD, Boogie, Kyrie, Klay and Jake Layman!

 

[e_blazer]

Zion will feast on Lakers next season!

FTFY

 

[CupWizier]

Zion will be a Laker next season!

lol, if you were a betting man, I would jump all over that bet and I'm not a betting man.

 

[hoopsjock]

Zion will be a Laker next season!

I guarantee he won't be. The Lakers would trade the pick if they jumped up.

the number of players on lottery teams being "shut down fro the rest of the season" is a rapidly growing list. Latest is Tim Hardaway Jr

a last effort by Dallas to keep their 1-5 protected pick this year?

What, you think he actually helps teams win?

 

[PtldPlatypus]

I just saw that Marcus Smart got a $50K fine for shoving Embiid the other day. Can anyone explain to me what makes that incident any worse than when Westbrook blatantly blind-side shoulder-checked Nurkic a couple weeks back? I don't recall him being ejected or fined for that.

 

[DDolla]

We can move to 3rd place with a Spurs Win.

The difference was the name on the Jersey.

Ahhh--unlike Marcus, everyone already knew that Westbrook was not smart, so his idiocy was excusable? Makes sense.

 

[Jon]

who else is a Nets fan tonight?

Okc loses all of their remaining games and Lakers win all but the last game.

Preferential treatment

How does this not qualify for blatant tanking?

lol, you like to inflict pain. I like it.

The NBA showing consistency in something? Not likely to happen lol.

Can't say I'm the least bit surprised by this....

Apparently a friend of Big Ballers stole $1.5M from them.

 

[DDolla]

Harden 27 points in the 1st quarter

 

[crandc]

Spurs down eight. Damn
OKC losing, what the hell happened to them?

 

[andalusian]

OKC losing, what the hell happened to them?

First, they no longer play the schedule of pre-school opponents. Second, their best player has/had shoulder injury and is clearly not playing as he did before.
