One of my favorite ever players.

I don't really mind that. I figure Paul will get hurt at some stage in playoffs, he always does so best to get GSW earlier when we are more likely to have him. I'd think we're a chance minus CP3 against the rest of the West but not GSW.

Harden likely to have a bit more petrol in the tank as well?

I really think the Rockets can beat them.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Man, Terrence Ross can catch fire like few others.

 

[Son of Skeletor]

lol @Denver.

They risked 2nd seed equity so they would miss Houston. Now it looks like they will definitely get Houston with a chance of losing home court.

Brilliant.

If they beat Minny today they finish second. If Portland also win they'll get the Blazers in the first round. Still in their hands.

Plus at least if they get Houston in the second round they'll have home court too. Presuming Houston can get past Utah.

Almost three years to the day since Dirk Nowitzki scored 50 points across two games:
09/04/2019 (30); 10/04/2019 (20)
23/04/2016 (27); 25/04/2016 (24) *playoffs
20/03/2016 (40); 23/03/2016 (21)

Udonis Haslem goes 12/10/1 in 29 minutes, possibly signifying his final game?

If we win we get 2nd (vs Spurs). If Portland lose they get Utah first round which is why I think they’re tanking to play Utah over OKC

 

[vanders]

Agree. Going to take something crazy for us to get in from here.
Did laugh at a post I saw on facebook: "In true Hornets fashion the Knicks will actually win only for us to lose"

They were almost right except we both lost and the Grizzlies beat the Warriors after falling over against the Pistons yesterday

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Blazers really making peace with 4th seed given the starting 5 taking the floor vs the Kings tonight.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

What is Portland doing? If they won they would’ve avoided the Warriors and the Rockets until the Conference Finals. Why would you put yourself in front of the Warriors just to avoid OKC? Very strange.

I was watching the heat nets game on mute in a restaurant whilst eating noodle soup. Wade gave melo his jersey.


wade, kobe, dirk do their farewell tour.

Melo?

And the Spurs (Ron) provided a classy farewell to the Mavs and
Soft Downhill Skier

Think it's more about playing on a back to back with playoffs starting so shortly, starters played big minutes last night in LA.

 

[hamG]

Magic Johnson is just not good at anything, except playing basketball.

His abilities with the ladies may have exceed his basketball.

 

[Gak Attack]

Go the Wolfies

Don’t think so. They would’ve at least played CJ for 20-25 mins to get him into rhythm since he’s been out

 

[Gak Attack]

What are you doing Wolfies!!!

 

[peternorth]

What are you doing Wolfies!!!

no one wants to win!

 

[Gak Attack]

Can't believe Kings are going to lose. Think I'd actually prefer 4th than 3rd though, so thanks.

 

[NSWCROW]

Yesterdays loss by the rockets just got made a lot worse

 

[DT_35]

I don’t even know what to say....

I don’t even want to celebrate after that disgraceful effort for 45 minutes

 

[peternorth]

So houston is fourth now?

I take everything back. Stotts is a genius, I am an idiot. Well done Portland.

 

[DT_35]

Yep. Warriors vs Rockets/Utah 2nd round

 

[peternorth]

Yep. Warriors vs Rockets/Thunder 2nd round

If they make it out of the first
