part two of the nba 2020-21 anything but regular season

the state of the race to not play one of the east big 3 in the first round and also to stay out of the play in tournament

these poor raptors, I wonder what the record for close losses in a season is

oof yeah their point differential is better than the next five teams ahead of them

yeah, a barely positive point differential and they're 27-40

I do not trust siakam in the clutch, ever

yeah i like siakam a lot but hes just not nearly a #1 option

hes more of a running around guy and thats fine but the raps kinda need him to be more which is not his fault

he gives you a lot and seems like a great person, but yeah

yeah awkward, you'd like to have one really good scoring guard with siakam but instead they have lowry whos aging out and van vleet whos not good enough

So are the lakers trying to win this game tonight?

everythings chill tho

The Lakers have a game less than 24 hours from now in Portland, the team they’re about to be tied with at the play-in tournament cut line. https://t.co/RknafKhyT5

they just need to figure out how to get lebron and AD in as good shape as they can by the time the play-in starts.

if steph can knock the lakers out of the play in that would be nice

I'm so scared of the lakers ruining the suns season

lebron has typically never cared about playoff seeding and i can’t imagine he’ll start now especially given what the top of the west looks like, but i bet they push at the end and get to 6

Frank Vogel said that LeBron's absence from the Lakers' last two games against Denver and LAC was not medically related. When asked for the reason James was not present, Vogel said, "He's just not here." Added that James was at shootaround Thursday but will not join team in POR

have to think that everyone with nothing to play for is super fucking done with this season.

yeah seems like it

aside from that one tweet from a legit espn guy no one is talking about brons coach saying he just didnt show up for work what is going on

Klutch pays all their salaries so they’re falling in line.

they should not have rushed into the season so fast after the bubble

i'm sure that whole experience was pretty taxing in all kinds of ways for these dudes and then here you go a couple weeks off, now back on the road.

feel like they knew it was going to be bad going in but they just did it to get the season over with to and be back on track next year, and yeah it was bad, also! its not just a short layoff but also a compressed season

laker blazers tonight is a huge game

I don’t see how the lakers stay in the top 6

is ad even playing tonight? tweaked his ankle and left the game last night with back spasms

listed as probable

spurs lost 5 in a row are they trying to get out of the play in? no offense to m bison but id rather see the pels in there anyway.

nooooo

glad he cleared that up xp

so many bad vibes, they should cancel the offs

what teams even have good vibes right now? Sixers? Suns? It’s not many!

my bad, i guess we do need to have the playoffs as a vibe check

oh my fucking god the replies to that "kobe played with a broken finger" "tape it up"

I remember jordan LOLing at me when I called the nuggets core a “big three”...

spurs need lotto balls, but the pels injuries p much mean the spurs are going to back their way into the play-in. which they could theoretically win if they get lucky. but i really just want them to fall some more to get the better pick, this team is v medicore.

ESPN switching to this lakers-blazers game from the jazz-nuggets game is basically a war crime
