Around the NBA (Part Two)

Good news is that it looks like the Houston vs. Golden State series is going to go to at least six, so if Minnesota can finish off the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, they will have more rest going into that series.

Yep. Who do we want to win that series?

Houston: time zone is better for my sleep schedule

As good a reason as any.

Depending on how the networks line up, it might not matter.

The only time it matters is if both West semifinals are on the same night. Whoever is farther West probably gets the later game. For that reason, an LAC series win could help our cause along with a HOU win. But usually, networks pair a East game and a West game, in which case we would be later no matter what.

They could also look at the star factor, probably trying to push the bigger names into the later window. It's possible a Jokic/Shai matchup could appeal to the networks if both West semis are on the same night, but I suspect they'll keep Ant as the late-night meal ticket for ratings.

Lame. I can't do these late night games anymore.

If LeBron wants another ring he should take a minimum to play here. You know what they say “if you cannot beat them, join them.”

Randle/Ant/Jaden/Lebron/Rudy

That is a talented group.

[winforlose]

If the Warriors vs Rockets series gets to game 7, we get a massive rest advantage in game 1. They get 1 day off, we get 5. We have time to practice and game plan, they don’t. Everyone cheer for Houston tomorrow.

[Neeva]

Absolutely despise Brunson’s game , foul baiting big head
This whole game is ugly though just three point jacking and foul baiting. Anonuby and Bridges are both SOO overrated.

He may just do that if you trade to get his pal KD here

Ant/Lebron/Jaden/KD/Naz

That is short term focused but could win a chip.

Self proclaimed greatest big shooter of all time doesn't show up again.

Kat, have nothing personal against him, just isn't "it".

Kind of slowly faded, instead of progressing. Good chance luka may follow his trajectory.

Yea if KAT was still on the wolves instead of randle there's no chance they beat the Lakers

Brunson playing hero ball all night. I don't remember a single pass shot 31 shots so far.

Of course it ends on a Brunson offensive foul that is not called.

I don't know about that.. just stating Kat is not a playoff guy, and slowly regressing when he should be in his prime. Looks like he'll get another series to prove himself..

[Neeva]

I wouldn’t be confident with Kat against tougher competition because he usually falls apart (except against Jokic for some reason)

The Pistons got hosed , the refs let Brunson flop all over the place but continue to let him push off all game long but the Pistons are a dumb mid coached team, who Celtics would sweep easily and they probably wouldn’t even be top 8 in the west.

[Loaf_of_bread]

Kawhi gonna have to take over, or Denver wins. I guess i may prefer den vs okc, but unsure.. probably doesn't matter.. okc will easily beat either team.

Nah it won’t be easy but Murray will have to play more consistent for Denver to win.
