Sunday 3/24 NBA Game Thread 

Post#1 » by bisme37 » Sun Mar 24, 2024 4:21 pm

It's a 6 game Sunday and my brains haven't turned on yet so here's some copy and paste stuff from the NBA!

- #8 Sixers @ #4 Clippers: Philly can jump Miami into 7th with a W and a Heat loss. LA’s trying to stay ahead of New Orleans, who’s taking on Detroit.
- #3 Cavs @ #7 Heat: Cleveland’s just two games behind Milwaukee, but also just a game ahead of New York. Meanwhile, a struggling Miami club’s still eyeing sixth or better – but has fallen 1.5 games behind Indy.
- #10 Warriors @ #3 Wolves: Minnesota could move a half-game out of #1 again with a win and OKC loss. Golden State’s looking to hold off Houston and make gains on the Lakers.
- #1 OKC @ #2 Milwaukee: The Thunder have held onto 1st for a week-plus – by far their longest stretch of the year. A win keeps space. A loss? Things get real tight again.
- #6 Pacers @ #9 Lakers: Indiana holds that 1.5-game lead in sixth but a loss and a Philly and/or Miami win would cut that to half a game. A win can help them keep pace with Orlando. L.A.’s looking to cut into the 3-game distance between them & 8th.
- So that's that. Enjoy!

Celtics can clinch #1 in East with a Bucks loss tonight.

I want to say Go Thunder but I want the C's to maintain their lead over OKC for homecourt across the playoffs too.

But still... Go Thunder!

Clippers need some defense. We'll give you Taurean as a parting gift.

Pelicans.

Matinee games man are something else, don't even think they'd beat Harvard Westlake.

they woke up eventually

I know i'm in the minority but I have a healthy Clippers team as the favorite to go all the way, Celtics are the biggest hurdle but in the West I think they have the best shot. am I the only one who thinks that? :)

They need to blow up the 213 era. This team is a joke. I hope the crowd boo's this effort.

With Denver having their injures now, OKC has that number 1 seed on a silver platter.

I think they pretty much exaggerated those injuries to Jok and Murray bcs they played Portland's G-League team. It was a day rest for those 2. If it was more important game they would probably both play.

Maybe Westbrook is actually the glue of the Clippers. Other than that I really don't understand how bad they've looked in some of these recent losses. This would be the 4th loss since WB went down that they have actually no business losing considering the opponent or the opponents injuries.

Bro, the Clippers are full tilt ass. They shouldn't be losing to a Embiid-less Sixers team.
