Wild Wild East

y'all should check out the NHL eastern conference

basically all eight playoff teams have strong arguments to win it all; and maybe two teams in the west about whom you could say the same

cavs 3 Ls in a row now in the play-in 7th slot

welp

lakers are in 10th place one game ahead of the spurs

if the blazers weren't doing the most radical tankjob in recent history i'm fairly certain they'd be winning enough to be in tenth rn

spurs are 10-9 since the trade deadline, lakers are like peepeepoopoo

meanwhile the heat are doing their best impression of the 13-14 pacers

the way bones hyland has been playing this month is so encouraging

crazy that the Lakers are sort of a prototypical "try to coast into the playoffs without anyone getting hurt" team and now everyone's hurt because they have to play their best guys 48 minutes a game to even have a chance

It's really beautiful if you think about it

what the hell has gotten into the Grizz

they have good players and the west sucks

bunch of rude teens ready to fuck up some boomers

smh TNT tonight showing the fucking Lakers for the 85th time this season instead of Sixers-Bucks

lol that is fn insane

need that lakers W tonight tho

I need whatever brings the lakers maximum humiliation and messy drama, culminating in bron jumping ship and a Buss family knife fight over the team's carcass.

end of year tankathon lineups are always funny

it = how to not dunk on his own face

PG is back tonight

lebron & AD sitting tonight lol

tnt gotta get on the flex train theres no reason not to be airing the 76ers bucks.

TNT does flex! specifically on tuesdays when there’s more games, i think on thursdays the way the league schedules makes it impossible. but this situation tonight is ridiculous. adam silver should’ve stepped in

maybe i just cant recall any thursday night games being flexed yah

didn't realize PG's return tonight was against utah lol. feels cruel

forgot to watch bucks-sixers! luckily its still on hehe

2 point ballgame baby 4th quarter

joel made a nice move to tie it and 1 (missed)

jrue hit a 3 tho

need some stats on what % of the time a guy hits all 3 fts when hes fouled on a 3 its very low imo

sixers had a 10 point lead basically the entire game and then doc sat harden and embiid at the same time to begin the fourth while the bucks kept their starters out there and promptly went on a 13-2 run. great stuff

ha kudos doc, he was all watch me steal some minutes here

Fwiw I think this is the first full game in which the Bucks are at full strength

bucks color commentator twice here said screening for the screener is "an old boston celtics play" this man has never heard of the spain pick an roll, shameful

this is a one point game with only seconds to go

oh that philly play was ROUGH

weird to see harden fail to generate offense in crunch time haha

**deer noises intensify**

Oh noooooo

harden grazes like 2 centimeters of the rim on a potential game winning three. you gotta love it

classic stuff

That was the most intense Bucks game in some time

And yeah brutal miss by Harden, that was Westbrook-esque

40-14-6-3 on 16-24 shooting and 7-10 from the line + the game winning block for giannis. increasingly feeling like the east playoffs are going to be a formality, the bucks have a historically dominant player and two other all star level guys who make plays at the ends of games. i just don't see who else in the conference can match that firepower

the sixers only shooter is georges niang, their lead ball handler turns into an open run at LA fitness player under pressure, and their coach is bad. otherwise i like their chances
