Saturday 3/29 NBA Game Thread 

Post#1 » by Ruma85 » Sat Mar 29, 2025 4:02 pm

Hi everyone, yesterday we had a 59 foot eurostep to beat the buzzer, some close games, some
blow outs, let's see what we have in store today.

- The Magic are half a game behind the Hawks in the loss column, so they hope to win tonight
against the Kings, who will try to hold their position in the West Play-In.

- Brooklyn has lost 6 straight but are still looking to develop their guys as are the Wizards.

- Miami has won 3 in a row, whilst 76ers are on a 6 game losing skid, can they beat Miami
tonight

- Dallas is one game up on the Suns in the loss column & holding for dear life, they will play the
team who has beating some impressive teams during their 4 game winning streak, can
they make it 5 in a row tonight?

- The Lakers & Grizzlies both have the same record at 44-29 the winner of tonight's game
will claim the 4th seed, how will Memphis fare without the H.C? Can L.A. avoid a third
consecutive buzzer-beating finish?

- Haliburton & the Pacers will look to follow up their historic offensive performance from
Thursday as they OkC and the Thunder's elite defense.

- The Celtics are going for the fifty fifth win of season while also having a 7 game winning
streak as they battle San Antonio who are continuing to develop their players.

Enjoy the games and your weekend everyone. :)

Should check Kings - Magic. 23 PM start here and we turn the clocks today. I always love these 2 weeks when America turns the clock first. Who is Grizzlies coach now, I wasn't following these news?

Game of the night is Pacers @ OKC. Pacers lose this one, its pucker time for that 4 seed in the East.

Only time I'll say it;

Go OKC!

I wanted to ask a random question, but I do not think it is worthy of a thread.

If you were NBA superstar, do you think you would be prone of asking a trade, or no, you don't see yourself ever asking a trade?

Met Derrick White last night at an outdoor bar in downtown San Antonio. He was watching the NCAA Tournament games with a couple of Celtics staffers. Told him "take it easy on us tomorrow night" as he left. He laughed and said he'd try. Seems like a genuinely nice dude. Very reserved (unsurprisingly). That said, Celtics are probably going to kill us tonight lol.

depends If I loved the team I was playing for and what the drama was.

If It's just because I'm not winning and I wanted to win, I'd ask them to make trades or I'm out In FA
If I have problems with coach I'd get coach gone, Mem.

Edit: I wouldn't demand a trade If I just signed a contract or have like 3 years left etc

Which of the three 7 o'clock games should I prioritize?

My favorite players spent 59 of 62 seasons on the teams that drafted them, but if you go by my employment record when I was NBA-aged, I'd almost certainly ask for a trade eventually. Hate to admit it!

Just saw that Tony Brothers is reffing the Magic/Sac game.

Good luck fans of each team. Brutal.

I also see that if the Magic lose this game, they will be tied, in losses, with the Bulls, showing how well the Bulls have been playing recently.

Crazy turn of events for both the Bulls, and Magic. Lot on the line today.

Mavs @ Bulls later on at 8, becomes super important as well.

Magic are a true contender with like 1 or 2 moves in the off-season.

There's just no way teams are going to want to play them in the future with that athletically ability on the defensive end and a couple upgrades around the edges.

I've always called him Cantankerous Clogged-Up Poop. No disrespect attended, just sounds funny. :lol:
