Still a lot of ways 4-7 could shake out, however. Knicks, Hawnks, Heat, and Celtics all within 2 games of each other.

As a Bucks fan, my ideal scenario is the Bucks stay #2 and the Heat and Celtics both finish in the 4-6 range.

Hope it shakes out for Round 1:

1 Philly vs. 8 Washington
2 Milwaukee vs. 7 Knicks
3 Brooklyn vs. 6 Boston
4 Miami vs. 5 Atlanta

Would rather Philly need to face the Heat in Round 2 than the Knicks or Hawks. The Knicks or Hawks in Round 2 would be one of the easiest paths to a Conference Finals in NBA history.

At least LeBron has already worded up everyone that he's not 100% so his fanatics can place an asterisk on any loss.

No, I'm saying a loss to GS wouldn't end the Lakers season, a loss the next game would.

Agreed.... Boston and Miami are pretty rough 1st round matchups for a top 3 seed.

Not sure where I said it would end his season.

Just said it would crush his chip dreams. Which I think it would.

Imagine the finger pointing LeBron rant after that one.

"You're all getting traded"

I have to admit. I'll be impressed if the Lakers can win a title from here. Crazy year and it's not the same NBA right now. But it would be impressive.

Westy with the clanger.

Rocks or diamonds

ninjacookies · 05-08-2021, 08:40 PM

Shoulda let Jap Jesus take it.

ninjacookies · 05-08-2021, 08:43 PM

Levert clobbered Westbreezy there. Terrible lack of self-awareness on a bad shooter airing a difficult shot.

ninjacookies · 05-08-2021, 08:45 PM

And GOATbrook with the game winning block.

BO in shambles.

drobfan8 · 05-08-2021, 08:48 PM

Rocks or diamonds again.

WB with the clutch freebies.

That stat padder only got that block to add to his stat line

-blowout members, probably

daeve · 05-08-2021, 09:16 PM

I really hope nobody here put their house on the Nets lol.

Denver is getting whatever they want right now, this is awful defense and effort

Great start to the game.

And can the Spurs do the Lakers a favour and keep POR in the play in?

Dame · 05-08-2021, 09:31 PM

17 first qtr points for MPJ. Kid has reached another level this year, one reason why the Nuggets really hasn’t missed a beat even with all the injuries.

Walking bucket.

Onepocketj · 05-08-2021, 09:39 PM

24 points in the first quarter for Curry

It was the worst 33/19/15/1 and 2 clutch performance game ever

daeve · 05-08-2021, 09:46 PM

Nets getting scorched by Nuggets' 5th string PG Markus Howard

Dame · 05-08-2021, 09:48 PM

Nets team would be a 10th seed or worst if it wasn’t for the Harden trade tbh.

He's amazing.

I still think KD is a moron for leaving Steph's side.

Doubling down on your horrendous take from preseason

Dame · 05-08-2021, 09:50 PM

Curry sheesh. I hope OKC can keep it close, records are about to fall tonight.

Kingofkings1281 · 05-08-2021, 09:58 PM

Does Brooklyn always look this horrid on defense?

drobfan8 · 05-08-2021, 09:59 PM

Roby!!! Um...sheesh. that was huge

ninjacookies · 05-08-2021, 10:00 PM

Well Chef's 2nd quarter was anti climactic....

I bring this up fairly consistently but most people seem to think they're just already in the Finals.

Their defensive rating is 25th in the league.

Houston, Cleveland, Minny, Portland, and Sacramento are worse.
