Sacramento Kings now officially eliminated from the playoffs. A lot better this year than I thought, but at least we are getting a lottery pick - there was awhile there where they looked like they could make the playoffs.

Only had to run tankathon 8 times to get us the #4 pick. Hopefully we do even better.

If the Mavs knew about this, they should not make this trade imo
Not a good look for them, even if he's innocent(something that the mavs could not know).

It's the 13th pick as of right now from Sac, it's helping that MIA, ORL and even Charlotte are still competing. Tbh, Charlotte still has a shot at making the playoffs and a chance to have a better record than SAC. I liked Sac's progress but the last 2-3 games I'd rest guys, not because I'm a C's fan, but cause they are fighting for nothing and you wanna avoid meaningless injuries to key players. Btw, hopefully it might give CHA a chance to get past them and give us that 12th pick. Hope CHA can win 2-3 games from the remaining 6-7. They prolly wont win vs GSW and Jazz as both are fighting for playoff spots.

OKC most likely a 1st round exit again. They should trade Russ for AD, move Adams and try to sign some1 like Kemba

Felton literally has a pot belly lmao.

Westbrook is significally worse than all of Rozier, Dozier, Wanamaker from 3.
Not just the %. We're talking about real bricks here.

That Luka-Young trade actually looks fantastic for both teams right now lol. Hawks going to end up getting that pick this year.

I wonder if we’d look at him if the AD trade doesn’t work out ?

Well he’s still efficient going to the basket. One the most fearless players in the league. While those three are scrubs.

Yes but they needed a 3 on these possessions. He didn't even hit the rim.
Just pass the ball to PG. Even if he miss(he did) it will always be the obvious choice.
If westbrook was shooting less from 3, he would have been much more fun to watch(and more efficient in general)

Jokic's brother trying to become the brotherly version of Lavar Ball. Sit down and quit yapping with refs and players. I get that it's your brother out there, but take a seat.

Agreed. He shouldn’t be taking them. Much like with JT. He’s more efficient attacking the rim, than taking fade aways, which is why i can’t seem to understand why he keeps on taking them. He ain’t kobe.

:lol:

What is this?
1) lol at Kristaps getting it on with a torn ACL. I've never tore up my knee, but I imagine having sex wouldn't be as enjoyable.
2) negotiating with the Knicks, because she is a Knicks fan? Wow.

Apologies if the woman is actually a victim, but that story is very very suspect for a number of reasons

Yeah I’m already calling bull****. It’s becoming quite a trend these days that the women that report their story to the teams instead of the police usually are lying. They usually do it for money but it sounds like this woman is just trying to get back at KP for his departure from HER team.
She seriously couldn’t pick any other date ? lol

Yup and I'm hoping Heat and Magic can win a game or 2 till the end of the season as they are fighting to make the playoffs, while SAC has 2 games vs the Rockets from here on out.

This has been a somewhat weird season as the top seed will be the Bucks and they will be around 60 wins as I do expect them to rest guys once they clinch the #1 overall in the NBA. Seems like the Warriors are either cruising or they have some chemistry issues or both as they got 52 wins with a pretty decked out team. Really wanted us to do better as this could've been a real opportunity and might still be.
