That useless snake Silver needs to fine Pop's @ss like Stern did when he pulled a similar stunt.

45.2% chance that we do still get the pick, so it's not much more likely that we won't get it this season. Obviously it's better to have the fourth or fifth pick now than waiting another year since **** happens, however, the Lakers will still likely suck next season and Doncic(/Alton) would be considered possible top pick in this draft.


I would love to see Zion Williamson in sixers colours.

I believe Zion is in the 2019 draft along with Marvin Bagley. Hopefully the KANGZ deliver one of them to us.

This is the negative of good teams playing bad teams towards the end of the regular season. They rest their starters so that the inferior team wins. On a positive note, it looks like the Magic are going to win.

At least the Magic come through and take down the Bulls. That means we take over 4th place in the Tankathon!

This Spurs should never win another champion under Pop. This arrogantly resting your healthy stars against less talented team **** will ruin this league eventually.

You could argue the Sixers are resting their two best players...

Well, the Kings weren't gonna lose out. THey just need to lose more than all the teams around them. And they will. No worries there.

And that's why you can't just look at the teams and think it's an automatic loss when they play good teams. Teams rest players down the stretch.

They won't be winning any titles unless they can somehow find a 2nd star to go with Kawhi. They're more of a regular season team now with great depth that outplays opposing benches. That advantage doesn't work as well in the playoffs with shortened rotations. It's similar to how Boston is built.

I understood resting Duncan and Parker because of age, but there is really no excuse to rest Leonard and Aldridge.

Idk I think you're forgetting just how good LaMarcus Aldridge can be. They will need him to step up in the playoffs for sure if they want to beat GS or even Houston or the Clippers but LaMarcus should not be slept on just because he went to a team that dampers everyone's stats.

He is built like a tank and has such a sweet mid-range game. Patty Mills has also played well this year and Danny Green comes to play in the postseason

I would not want to play the Spurs in the playoffs. More than Houston, Utah, Memphis, or LAC

New Orleans is really pissing me off. They are keeping the pressure on us to keep losing. Dummies can't even win a damn game. They are a joke.
