No Embiid no love apparently.

It was one call, it's not like it was thrown or something.

I’ve been cheering for them these last few weeks, but I don’t want them coming in here Tuesday feeling confident

Can't believe they hit a win streak that high. Still crazy to think of the wolves ripping off a dozen games even though we have been balling.

Monk is a big loss for the kings. They are already only 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers (I believe with the tie breaker over the Lakers.) Now to lose another key rotation player, they could fall down 9 or 10.

Three game cushion on 10, so I doubt they drop that far.

Plus tie breaker. Still, Draymond could punch the refs, you never know

DEN won

NYK over OKC by 8 - almost through 3 quarters.

DAL smacked up the streaking Rockets by 15, so maybe they don’t come here with so much confidence.

OKC up 4 2 minutes to go.

Seems like Jay Williams always hits the clutch shot. NYK still have a slim chance to win.

At that stage and after looking the schedule, we probably ended 2 nd or 3rd. I hope for second. Hope KAT is back on time and ready to play better than he play in the past at PO> Big bet but we never know.

Philly playing OKC and Embiid returns. I have to cheer for Embiid today.

KGdaBom · Post #1470 » by **KGdaBom** » Wed Apr 3, 2024 2:06 am

Embiid scores 24 points going 12-12 from the line to beat OKC.

KGdaBom · Post #1471 » by **KGdaBom** » Wed Apr 3, 2024 2:38 am

Boston has a 12 game lead in the East with 7 to go. They can do whatever they want.

I hate that. Forced to root for players/teams I hate if it helps the Wolves.

My list of hard-to root-for:

1. Draymond
2. Embiid
3. Jimmy

1. Lakers
2. Sixers
3. ??

Boston leading OKC by 8 at the end of the 3rd.

Surprised Orlando took down pels so easily

TimberKat · Post #1475 » by **TimberKat** » Thu Apr 4, 2024 2:55 am

Suns are coming around. They look extremely dangerous vs Cavs.

winforlose · Post #1476 » by **winforlose** » Thu Apr 4, 2024 4:34 pm

Pels could be in some trouble. If Zion misses a few games due to his finger, they could easily end up 8th or even 9th.

Hard to say. They surged without him last year.

Ingram is also expected to still be out through at least next Thursday or Fraidy.

I forgot Ingram is out, since I stopped paying attention to him on my fantasy team.

Yeah, without ZW they are still playoff worthy, but without both, they COULD be in trouble. Of course we don’t know how serious ZW’s finger is, and we have seen both Herb and Trey play very well this year. Either way it will be interesting.
