Go back and read what Doris said earlier.

Giannis didn’t make first team all nba?

And we're officially 3rd.
Legit don't know if that's good or bad, lol.
Pacers are waiting for us. Just for comparison, today they scored 157 points, while we did 88...

Who are 4-1 vs the Bucks this year. And went out on the season winning a blowout.

Mathurin is done. Haliburton slowed down for awhile post injury/asb.

We'll see. Any matchup is problematic the way this team been.

I did. Just a cheeky response.

Doris said a dumb a$$ comment about Brunson making first team over Giannis if they get the #2 seed instead of us

Offcourse. I said that 2 days ago (before our OKC game):

The Ringer is giving these writers brain rot.

Read on Twitter

Pretty much sums it up right here. More drama for media to pump out and write about. More fabricated storylines created off the court instead of letting the play on the court dictate the rivalries.

This is a no-brainer. Rivalries would form because of teams choosing an opponent. The league could make an event of that process. It makes the regular season matter far more since seeding would have such significant implications compared to now. Fans are the big winners here with a more entertaining league to follow.

I like the current Knicks team, they will make some noise. But Doris and other national media + the Celtics knob polishing make it insufferable.

Looks like first round at west will be:
OKC-Warriors
Denver-Lakers
Minnesota-Suns
Clippers-Mavs

Probably, yeah. I think the Bucks underachieving and falling into the playoffs is going to matter a lot to voters, though.

Looks like Pelicans/Lakers rematch on Tuesday night unless the Suns blow their 10 point lead.

Profound23 · Post #1093 » by **Profound23** » Sun Apr 14, 2024 9:15 pm

I just hope the Bulls or Hawks don't end up lucking out and making the #8 spot.

Wolves might lose in the 1st round if they play the Suns. They swept them 3-0, winning all 3 games by double digits.

I looked at the standings before everything was set.

Haven't been paying a ton of attention since the Bucks drained all my basketball enthusiasm this season, so just now seeing the Kings fell to the 9 seed and face elimination to the Warriors in the play-in. Wow.

I think it's a very fun idea personally but to each their own.

They're struggling. I think they take out the Warriors though

This. Love to see Philly lose to the Heat, then take #8. I don't think they beat Boston but I think they'd make it interesting.
