I don't understand why a lottery team would want this sideshow. Bob.

I was incredibly impressed with them in that last game they played against the Bucks. They are very good.

We're going to end up with Miami in round 1 and it's going to be a ****.

Miami, Philly, Brooklyn, LA

Espn can't talk any trash after the Bucks win that gauntlet.

Monty Williams has done a phenomenal job. Chris Paul gets a ton of the credit and hes been great but Monty laid the foundation last year. They had a rough patch the middle of last year where everyone was hurt or they probably would have made the playoffs. James Jones deserves some love too for managing their terrible owner and getting guys who are right for Monty. Monty is a very serious dude who is all about work and accountability so not everyone works in his system. It's not accident guys like Josh Jackson and some of the other turds were shipped out.

Will be interesting to see how they do in the playoffs. They Lakers are a horrible matchup with their size but anyone else I think they can play with.

Chris Paul has probably played on more talented teams but I don't think he's ever played on a team that fits his personality more than this group.

They'll talk trash when we're bounced in round 1 or 2.

Do you really think the association will allow the upstart suns over the lakers. No possible way. If they do matchup with each other. Watch the foul disparity. Not on the amount (probably close) but when they are called.

I’m glad DJ Wilson is getting a chance on another team, I’m happy for him. But my god, he is terrible.

The league needs to implement a strategy to end blatant tanking.

Fourteen ping-pong balls numbered 1 through 14 will be placed in a lottery machine. There are 1,001 possible combinations when four balls are drawn out of 14, without regard to their order of selection. Before the lottery, 1,000 of those 1,001 combinations will be assigned to the 14 participating lottery teams.

I propose that for each game you lose by 20 or more, you lose one of your lottery combinations.

As is the case in the final months of every NBA season, there are teams tanking hard right now and it's leading to some really bad basketball. The NBA has tried to combat tanking by decreasing the chances of the worst teams getting the best draft picks, but it hasn't helped. The current system still rewards teams for losing. The NBA needs to create a system where it rewards teams for winning.

I've proposed this before but I think teams should only be able to increase their chances at a better draft pick once they are mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. And only by winning from that point on. So the team with the most wins after the point they were mathematically eliminated has the best chance at #1. That way, you still try to help the worst teams in the league (because they will be eliminated earliest in the season) but it encourages teams to try to win every game.

Next game up, Kevin Porter has 16/6 on 6/18 shooting. :lol:

Jokic is insane man. Deserving MVP and MPJ is an emerging star. Murray injury is just tragic, think they could’ve won the title at full strength

Sadly, I don’t see any way they could have stopped LeBron. Gordon is a decent defender, but LeBron makes decent defenders look like Jabari Parker. I can picture LeBron dropping 50 on MPJ each game. It would’ve taken some really hot Murray nights to beat LA.

I don’t know that I could identify half the guys in the OKC boxscore. Very obvious taking - SGA’s been out over a month for helping them too much, now Dort and even Poku are out. But still, 57 points is wild.

The Lakers dropping to the 7th seed is something to root for.
