Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)

Post #1161 » by **K For Three** » Sun Apr 8, 2018 11:20 pm

In terms of the Wiz, don't worry guys, Mook has it covered.

https://sports.yahoo.com/celtics-marcus-morris-says-doesnt-153923292.html

Morris doesn't want to face his twin brother Markieff in a playoff series. The Celtics forward was asked about the possibility by Boston reporters and spoke at length about how he doesn't want it to happen.

"Man, every day we talk about it. Honestly, I don't want to play them first. Can't lie," Marcus said according to ESPN. "I don't want to play them first because it's my brother and we're going to war... I'd hate to see my brother in the first round, to have to be that bully to my brother when I know it's gonna be like."

The funny thing is the way he words it here, he feels he can kick his brothers ass and doesn't want to have to to do it. :lol:

Marcus even said he's been paying attention to the odds in rooting against the matchup.

"I'm like, 'Keef, c'mon, man. Like s---. Get to the six or the eight [seed]. I ain't trying to play y'all in the first round,'" Marcus said. "It said they was like 40 percent to play in the seventh [seed], but then they lost, so I was like, should I be happy that they lost?"

Hopefully the twins can work this out so the seedings stay the way we want it to.

As I type this I am kind of excited about the potential Raps vs Cavs second round match up.

Can I hope for both teams to lose?

It looks nice on paper, but we both know what will happen, JB. LeBron will take their souls just like he did each of the past two years.

Figure as much but it will be nice seeing the meltdown on the raps board!

Nets Win

Cavs forum going into melt down

Here's some gems:

One cavs fan tried to get a win-win scenario so he bet money the nets would win by 11+. They only Won by 9 lol

Paying $7 put money on Nets winning by 11+ points, Russell to score 16+ and Crabbe 13+

Brooklyn at home, Joe Harris out and Bulls in biggest tank game of the year

I want a Chicago win.

Just airballed an 18 footer with no one within 10 feet of him. The Bulls are so awful

Bahahaha we traded the 9th pick for Kyrie Irving. What a steal. Cavs are so dumb.

I'm not a stat padding guy but Westbrook just clinched a playoff berth for OKC and needs another 16 boards to average back to back triple double seasons. What a freak athlete. I hope they cheese it for him to get it if they need to.

Any time you get the chance to trade a 25 year old, multiple time all-star with 2+ years left on his contract for the 9th pick, youve got to take it i guess...

Brad's got to rest all rotation guys for the Nets game.

I still can't believe that this guy averaged 32/11/10 (and 5 TOs) last season. Like, ermahgerd.
Or that he's so good at shooting just under .300 from 3 on 4+ attempts per game three of the last four seasons: http://www.espn.com/nba/player/stats/_/id/3468/russell-westbrook

But the raw #s are ridiculous. I feel like some society of the distant future will build altars to them.

Not for the GB, where that trade is apparently in Cavs favor because Kyrie and IT cancel each other out due to injuries.

lol it's such a a joke. They literally had a poll last week when the news came out of Kyrie's injury asking who won the trade

Last game of the season : Minny-Denver. This is going to be epic for the last spot.

Give Nader 48 minutes so He'll score 40.

If the Knicks somehow beat the Cavs on Wed that would be the most beautiful thing ever. BKN gets pick 9 and Toronto as the 1 seed earns CLE in the 2nd round. (Assuming PHI wins at least one of 2). Both could still happen without the Knicks, but it would be more fun that way.

I think LeBron needs that token start to get all 82, then rest, baby, rest!
