Around the League, 2013 Offseason/2013-14 Season Thread

If Atlanta goes

4-0 , they make the playoffs
3-1, they make the playoffs
2-2, they make the playoffs
1-3 + Knicks go 3-1 or worse, they make the playoffs

Knicks make playoffs if

Atlanta goes 1-3 + Knicks go 4-0
Atlanta goes 0-4 + Knicks go 3-1

Oddly enough i can still see the knicks getting in, as atlanta plays:

Miami, Brooklyn, Charlotte, Milwaukee. i can see that being 1-3 or possibly even 0-4. i know the bucks stink, but in the past awful teams have pulled that off in their last 1 or 2 games. playing "spoiler" can really motivate a team to end their season with somewhat of a good note in that way.

knicks i think go 2-2. splitting with the raps and losing to the bulls.

hawks magic number is 2. id LOVE if the 2 were us sitting everyone and tanking vs the hawks then playing everyone and going balls to the wall to beat the knicks. that would be poetry.

that said, id go on a tirade if the knicks make it in by 1 game because they beat us twice to close out the year

Off topic. just saw this pop on my feed on facebook:

Game worn jerseys from rookie sophomore game. Its interesting to see the bidding on some jerseys compared to others. Plumlee seems around where I'd expect. Some of the shorts are reasonably priced, but that **** weird.

Interesting how Lillard's jersey is priced so much higher than others like Davis - clearly the best player in the draft, Hardaway JR - NY fan base.

Bidding ends in an hour if this interests anyone

Talk about serendipity!

Mavs losing to Spurs & will have 32 losses. Remaining 2 games VS Grizz & Suns.
Grizz have 32 losses. 4 games left. Final 2 games VS Mavs & Suns.
Suns have 31 losses. 4 games left. Final 2 games VS Mavs & Grizz.

Unreal battle for 7 & 8 seeds in the WC.
Any of these 3 teams still could win 50 games.
One of these teams will go to the lottery.

Contrast KnUcks (33-45) & Hawks (35-43) battling for 8 seed in the EC.
Neither team can win 40 games.

If the Knicks blow this game... :lol:

Looks like CHI woke up. They'll probably take the game from DET now.

Hawks magic number down to 1, and if Chicago can hold on, the Raptors are officially the 4th seed. Hopefully, Chicago wins out at this point.

I sorta hope the Hawks don't win tonight. It would feel pretty good to drive a stake through the Knicks on Thursday.

Now that they lost they'll probably roll over and lose badly to the Bulls tomorrow.

Thank you Hawks.

KnUcks are eliminated & Heat take a loss.

I'm assuming you're counting the 2013 Yankees and Mets as well.
