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

kinda funny after the dwight redemption arc where he humbled himself and became a good teammate hes leading the league in techs and everyone still hates him

yeah he just turned into a hockey goon because he doesn't know how to do anything like a normal person.

and he doesn't even get credit for full championship DNA

not watching the game but embiid has 6 points and two rebounds at the end of the 3rd huh

sixers starters never really got engaged and doc has played long stretches with an all bench line up out there

first quarter was 38-22 heat, not much to play for after that

if a 7 seed loses the play-in tournament do they get in the lottery? asking for a friend

yes it is possible for the 7 to lose out into the lottery

i was also pondering this possibility for no reason

i hope jimmy butler does something fun in media after he's done playing. one of the sharpest guys out there and i think he'd be a straight shooter.

funny too

yeah he seems very self-aware and gets the humor of the whole thing

he should have a show where he takes guys fishing and then does brutal pranks miles from shore

not sure that concept is sustainable

u just need a lil imagination

thanks y'all for the well wishes. ive told the mrs that nba basketball doesnt count towards screen time.

man dame vs cp3 is such a classic matchup

beat utah and phx back to back on the road in the reg season crunch would be pretty sick

helluva bail out call jeez

an absolute carnival of errors

christ this is tense.

prrrrretty insane decision by stotts to challenge that foul and lose his last timeout

blazers deserve that loss for dame's incomprehensible possession that started with 15 or 20 secs left and for stotts' challenge fuckup xp

that game really got me ready for playoff dame. the man is a superhero

Excited to see what Booker will look like in the offs

man we’re dangerously close to clippers-lakers first round

Udonis is the last active NBA player to be older than me

suns-blazers first round series would be pretty sick

The Lakers can finish
5th
6th
7th
The Blazers can finish
5th
6th
7th
The Mavericks can finish
5th
6th
7th
The Jazz can finish
1st
2nd
The Suns can finish
1st
2nd
3rd
The Clippers can finish
2nd
3rd
4th
The Nuggets can finish
3rd

also because there are 5 very good teams in the west, at least one of them will be knocked out in the first round

Clippers are definitely trying to tank this game vs the rockets and I appreciate it as an addition to the proud legacy of nba tanking

starting a guy with the last name scrubb is a nice exclamation point on the tank

btw important hoop things: It's the 2021 WNBA Season thread (PS go pay 7 to get the WNBA League Pass you cowards)

was wondering the clippers were trying to tank or if they thought they could get away with sitting kawhi and PG vs the rockets and got caught with their pants down. i guess they’re operating under the assumption the lakers are gonna end up with the 6 seed

the dream of keeping the nets out of the top seed has been fulfilled god is good

i guess they’re operating under the assumption the lakers are gonna end up with the 6 seed

they at least know that they wont be the 5th seed

the boys are back in town

Lakers coach Frank Vogel announces that LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Dennis Schroder will all play today’s lunchtime tip in Indianapolis.

lakers locked into the 7th seed now vs golden state, please god let curry go off for like 60

we need this

or wait are they locked in? maybe I messed that up

they couldnt be as theyre tied with the blazers with a game left, still we need this

if the lakers win and blazers lose tomorrow, then the blazers fall to 7th seed and the lakers ascend; whether they ascend to to 6th or 5th is based on the mavs final record. i think.

The Clippers rested Kawhi on every b2b this season but this time it was because they were ducking the Lakers? It seems far-fetched to me.

the only appropriate ending for this season would be for the celtics and lakers to both get the 7 seed and lose the play-in

they rested pg too xp

+the celtics win the draft and the lakers are relegated to the g league xp

i don't care about that part i just want the league to face the consequences of the play-in tournament

wld be funny

Lots of people begging the nuggets to tank their game against the blazers so they don’t face the lakers but I think you should just play the game out. Jokic has played every game, he’s MVP, let him finish it off without tanking.
