Lets see what kind of minutes they play these guys and how hard they go after it!

They are not winning, that's for sure.

Denver getting smoked.

Going to be interesting to see how MPJ operates once the actual playoffs begin, tempo slows, and defenses clamp.

Denver got as far as they did last year because Murray had multiple historical type shooting performances.

Umm... I know its early...

but Dallas drops from 5 to 6 is they lose and Portland wins...

That could shake things up

No, they do not.

If LAL wins and it's a 3-way tie, Dallas stays as the 5.

If LAL loses, then yes, they fall to 6.

we gotta play the clips..its my only true matchup

I will root for knicks, bullets, sixers in east....

NeedChapmans · 05-16-2021, 09:00 PM

Knowing Portland has won (because duh), it's still pretty neat we don't have any of the 1-6 seeds yet.

NeedChapmans · 05-16-2021, 09:04 PM

Utah is the 1.
Phoenix is the 2.

Kingofkings1281 · 05-16-2021, 09:05 PM

Gotta admit, I’m looking forward to GS VS LA. It’s gonna be fun.

Kingofkings1281 · 05-16-2021, 09:07 PM

So how do the Wizards and Nets end up playing each other? Does Washington just have to win one game for that to happen?

Six seconds will be his complete effort tonight. Embarrassing.

I really despise this kind of thing

He's gonna have the green light. They have almost zero pressure to win the title. May as well go out blazing

They have no shooters outside of him and Jokic, so the shots will fly. At least he'll get some playoff experience under his belt, good or bad.

I always hear about how Ted Williams was hitting .3996 going into the last game of the season and they told him to take off so his average would be .400. He refused and played the double header and went 6 for 8 raising his average to .406.

How many players in this era would do that?

Kingofkings1281 · 05-16-2021, 10:10 PM

He shouldn’t have even been in the game. Jesus.

NeedChapmans · 05-16-2021, 10:13 PM

Well ... Clippers did what they wanted to do. Gave up at the end of two games to ensure they're not the 3 seed.

Losing intentionally to a 21-50 team and a 16-54 team. Amazingly done.

k13 · 05-16-2021, 10:17 PM

How big of a fave will Lakers be vs Warriors....

ninjacookies · 05-16-2021, 10:18 PM

LeReceeding vs. ArtistformerlyknownasCornrows.

My scalp is ready.

That would be on the low side.

Was thinking -10.

Nah, that's crazy. Lakers weren't even giving 10 to NO tonight.

I think the line settles at 6.

Refs plus at home is already a 5 point advantage.
