Ayton and Doncic seem to be friends. We should be too!

Best case is Portland loses tonight and Thursday, Suns win Thursday, and Memphis loses. Playing Memphis as the 8th seed instead of 9th to only have to win 1 and go into the playoffs hoping to be the 8th seed Warriors upsetting the 1st place Mavs back whatever year that was.

Memphis' head coach was a popular assistant for Milwaukee last year.

You know I really try to enjoy Doncic and how he plays. But I'm probably going to be spiteful his whole career and only appreciate it when he's past his prime looool

Lillard is close enough to 50 that he’s gonna try hard for it. He will get it too. Dallas will have to overcome it somehow.

**** yes Porzingis!!! I knew there was a reason why I used to want the Suns to trade for you!

Lilliard pisses me off with all these flops for fouls on 3s

Luka do something

What's up with Doncic today?

I never count on Portland losing because Lillard can will them to a win and other team is usually already playoff bound.

So we really need Memphis to lose against....the Mil?

Can someone run the possible combinations?

Everything is still up for grabs for 8th/9th for Portland/Memphis/Phoenix/SA?

He's been doing it all bubble. He just jumps funny and then throws a fit if the ref doesn't fall for it.

I wouldn't count on Luka doing us any favors.

He's probably a little bitter that Ayton went #1 and Booker usually has his number in their head to heads.

Funny thing is that Lillard can average 80 in the playoffs and they still won’t even win 1 game against the Lakers.

NBA should have thought about this more.

You can't have a team going 8-0 and not having a chance.

They should have made it that if there's multiple teams within 1 game of the 9 seed, they enter a single-elimination tourney, and the winner gets the play-in chance against the 8 seed.

How has Whiteside not gotten another T?

Why are these bubble refs so far up Portlands ass?

Or playing the same team twice in the bubble games. Playing Dallas twice is stupid. They should swap games around. Phoenix vs Memphis in Thursday. Dallas vs Milwaukee. Way better drama
