Around the NBA (and other Sports), 2023-24, Part 2

It's looking like it may be a Warriors/Lakers 9/10 sudden death play in game. I'm so excited that one of the two will be knocked out of the playoffs in just 1 game. :nod:

I think that's even sweeter than one of them missing the playoffs. Thinking they have a shot and getting instantly bounced. :lol:

Sixers fan here. For the record. With the way Boston is playing. No one is beating them in a 7 game series.

Even if this version of embiid is playing pre injury form. I can’t see the Sixers getting 2 games max. And it will be more like a 4-1 defeat. Embiid is no where in form. He gas out after the 3rd quarter last nights. No legs

But I do think the nba should reward number 1 seeds who they want to play 7 or 8 seed.

Twitter. His NBA following are probably a bunch of Gen-Zers.

Tbf, didn't know the movie existed until about 5 yrs ago.

Heat ended up losing the game after they couldn't get a good shot off.

Should've called timeout, right?

I was watching end of that one on my phone while feeding a sick little one, but I was ok with him not calling the timeout at first. When things got screwy and Rozier was falling down to save the ball and nothing was working to get an easy score he definitely should have called timeout. Jimmy was definitely not Himmy down the stretch either. Several times got stripped/stopped and lost a turnover to Oubre and then a jumpball to Embiid with Jimmy looking like he was hoping for a bailout foul that never came. I'd MUCH rather have the Heat than the Sixers in the first round. History aside, just look at the two rosters and to me it's a no-brainer. Heat are what they are... Sixers at least are in this position because of the Embiid injury and would be a second round matchup for us potentially otherwise. I still think we can handle either in 6 or less, but gimme Miami and a chance to kill the culture all day. Hope they have those stupid ass 5 paragraph essays down the lane when we do it too.

Bucks coming off back to back losses to Wiz and Grizz. Now have Raps and their 15 game losing streak coming to town. Must see TV.

Gallo has been useless this year. Hope that doesn't magically change in the playoffs.

Crazy ending with golden state at Dallas... Curry is so damn tough with pressure ...

Edit.. Dallas takes the victory with four seconds to go.. And did it without Luka..5 Players in double digits including p j washington with what might be a career high 32 points..

playa-hater · Post #1635 » by **playa-hater** » Sat Apr 6, 2024 3:19 am

the standings in the East and the West are so close right now..

Trying to predict who will play Who will be hard.

Dame fouled out so not available for last 90 seconds or so but also had 3 turnovers in the 4th alone I think. They’re a talented team but something is just off with the Bucks and it’s not just Doc.

The Celtics clinched a playoff spot on March 15th. It's April 6th and they are still the only team in the East to have qualified for the playoffs :lol:

Bucks are slow defensively.

They need wing players like Bruce Brown.
