It is the years 2018-19 in the National Basketball Association (NBA) - The Regular Season

^ will never happen

yeah it sucks cutting 10-20 games would be such a huge improvement

disagree the nuggets must be the 1 seed

blazers @ pistons has to be the ugliest game I’ve seen this season

Uh rape allegations against kristaps....

Lol @ "I did that". So glad he's in the league.

If you get ejected do you automatically get a one-game suspension? Asking for 2 friends...

No usually the ejection is it unless further penalty is warranted

OKC is like 7-15 in their last 22 games or something.

Den vs Gsw tomorrow is a big game for the 1 seed.

With the rockets (3) and blazers (4) both currently at 28 losses it's unclear whether the 1 seed or 2 seed is preferable.

denver is really good at home so I think I just want the 1 seed

nurk a big loss of the blazers too

both feature score high volume scoring guards whove underperformed in the offs, will be interesting to see how denvers backcourt D holds up to playoff scrutiny

think id rather play the blazers all things considered, houston is pretty flammable they cld just get hot and theres nothing u can do about it

The Blazers will be vulnerable, especially if CJ McCollum isn't back at 100% from his knee strain. I hate the idea of another first round exit, but the WC is a bear pit and there's no forgiveness in the offs.

blazers vs rockets is not really close imo

nor was it before the nurk injury

rockets are theoretically better but theyre also kinda shitty and exploitable idk no nurk def puts them over the top

if youre the rockets you really dont want to play a very good defensive team

haven’t really seen this version of the rockets be exploited in the playoffs they were arguably the best playoff team last year

the rockets really are not losing to anyone but GSW in the west imo

they lost a bunch of wing defense tho, cp3 hasnt been healthy etc

i think anyone can lose to anyone this year no team has been dominant all have many ???

like literally the only team in the league that has played at a consistent championship level is milwaukee and their roster/style def has some playoff issues

does it?

having the best player in the league and a bunch of shooters seems like a good playoff formula

they're all hurt right now not a good place to be a couple weeks before the offs

brook lopez leads their team in 3pt makes prob unplayable in the offs, mirotic and brodgon are injured and mirotic cld be unplayable anyway, bledsoe is a coward

how is lopez unplayable in the offs?? where do you come up with this stuff lol

the injuries obv not the best timing but they’ll skate thru the first round anyway

youve watched the playoff before right

in the nba

he’s a totally different player now, the most deadly shooting 7 footer in the game and plays solid D, plus has giannis playing next to him

if theyre playing a team that can put him in the high pnr hes toast, over and over

thats just playoff stuff u have guy who gets big regular season minutes who cant see the floor due to matchup ups

for instance kyrie/horford wld just shred him until he sits, not every playoff team has the right combo of guys but its not that hard to exploit him

you’re really reaching, in all likelihood partly from homerism/wishful thinking which is cute, but not every player is andre roberson

only all nba players are playable in the offs now

i think most players are andre roberson

this literally the thing that happens in the playoffs every year man, player weakness get picked on i mean toronto def cld make it happen v lopez w any number of combos philly shd be able to but theyre kinda a mess, mirotic basically same deal

playoffs really favor well rounded players over specialists which is cool

also obvs half court O becomes more important as transition D tightens up

stacked rosters like the teams the bucks will see from the second round on are gonna be difficult for them, no place to hide guys

the good news for them is none of those teams have really been executing that well up to this point but still 7 game series playoff adjustments no one is safe

if giannis cld shoot might be a different story

i don't think the bucks are more explouitable than any other team the concern there is health

the health situation def compounds it but bucks have given a bunch of minutes to guys w big defensive weaknesses this year

like what wld they even do with embiid

prob have to put giannis on him, wld watch
