March till end the season discussion thread

Let’s gooo. Got a future on them too. Look to be peaking

Yeah, since those posts 10 days ago or so they have turned things back up.

Leggggooooooooo!

Well that’s the worst beat of my life.

I had Clippers -6. Up 39 I figured it was safe.

 

[Inspekdah]

It was 75-36

I get it.

A few unders I lost with that bullshit.

 

[twinkie13]

I would want no part of AD.

Yep. It’s almost unreal to say this but the Pels look like they won that deal(the LA picks are lottery) and maybe Lonzo if he keeps getting hurt…

The RWB trade was the WOAT, so bad lol smh. Lakers shoulda just made some minor tweaks and ran it back. Until AD got hurt last playoffs, they looked a class above the Suns.

I get it that Lakers look like a mess now. But I mean they won a title. Does that make the AD trade worth it? Hard to answer but I lean yes. Not enough teams go after it

 

[KJ]

Lakers waived Ariza today

I'm not one for messing with chemistry this time of year but that's one I'd love to have for the playoffs

 

[B.A.R.]

If I'm Milwaukee or Boston, do I really want to win tonight? Yes, HCA but 2 seed puts into play Brooklyn round 1.

Yes, many other factors but food for thought...

Trevor Ariza is what every team needs. He found his lane so well in later years

I’m not gonna go all wild here but, that’s a rough one to hang amongst greatness if I’m a Laker fan…but I hear you

He could be the prototype of our arch enemy here

[survive&advance]

Ariza is so dusted lol

I’m not too bullish on miami. I think one of their biggest strengths, their depth, is negated in the playoffs since rotations tighten so much. I do like their pieces but don’t think I’d take Jimmy/bam in crunch time over other stars in the East

 

[VirginiaCavs]

Pistons have 8 points through the first quarter lol. 0/14 from deep

 

[KJ]

This is setting up well for the Raps, top 4 should be solid favorites to win their first round matchups

Not sure why anyone would fear this version of the Nets, especially if your name is the Bucks or the Celtics

 

[askias]

Watched some of the Wizards and Knicks and it was the ultimate who are these people game.

Feels like I need to send a sympathy card

Nice to see the Suns get back to down 12 w/6 mins left say we're gonna win this

Bridges is so good in the crunch

Jazz are the most overrated team in the NBA, seen this too many times blowing leads in the 4th

I wouldn't say overrated, they were ceiling a 3 seed and floor a 6 seed

They are what they are

 

[Inspekdah]

The Mucks tank lineup maybe one of the worst in the league. Recently losing by like 30 at home to the Clippers’ backups. Cavs should be able to name their score.

They’ve disappointed this year. Were supposed to push for 1 seed

They need another SUPER star while Spider is content there. Obviously Gobert is a stud at what he does but he isn't that star they need with Donovan, not sure how easy it will be to lure one in free agency to SLC but imo it's the missing piece. Quality PG is taken care of but they need a Pippen type star on the wing.

 

[Dsn150]

Cavaliers -8’
Celtics -7

for me today….

 

[DeadEyeDuckie]

Anyone have a quick rundown of who owns tiebreakers over each other?

NBA Playoff Picture & Scenarios for the Game 82

The final day of the NBA regular season is here and Matt Moore is breaking down the NBA playoff picture and scenarios.

[number2]

Boston wins tonight, they 2nd seed

Philly wins or lose, they still 4th seed

Toronto is 5th already…..
CHC is 6th….

GS is 3rd now…Dallas behind them. Dallas win and GS lose, Dallas gets 3rd

Utah is 5th with Denver behind at 6th.
If Utah lose and Denver win, Denver gets 5th

 

[KJ]

Thanks, I want Dallas as the 4 and Utah as the 5 as a Suns fan and guessing GSW want 3rd

Want to avoid Denver if Murray and/or Porter are able to come back

So nothing as far as 7/8/9/10 for play in is at stake tonight?

 

[reNew Orleans]

appears that way but spurs playing to win/keep momentum? Pels are resting everyone minus McCollum

reNew is there a team in 7/8/9/10 that cares about winning tonight? This whole thing is stupid if not

Late reply…..I think 7-10 is set in stone…..

If not for soccer and golf today I'd have tried to look up incentive clauses in contracts for the games tonight but that takes a ton of time and probably would have resulted in none. Not sure the motivations of anyone tonight

 

[number2]

Minny host LAC….winner gets real 7 seed….loser gets to host the winner from 9 and 10

NO host SAS….winner plays loser from 7&8

So, basically, if u are 9&10 seed, u need 2 wins to secure the real 8 seed

If you 7&8 seed, just needs 1 win to secure real 7 seed. Loser gets another chance.

I went with overs instead…..hopefully both teams care enough to try to score….also bench players last chance to do some scoring

Loser from 7/8 gets the home game next correct?

So crazy how US pro sports are going to extreme lengths to accommodate the bottom of the barrel. NBA and NFL have already done everything to massage losers and MLB is right behind

From gambler standpoint…..more wagers …..hooray!!!!

Much rather Heat than Boston I know that

If that's true MIL/BOS is the de facto conference finals

Better than the lakers with lecramps as the player/coach/gm…..

 

[KJ]

Did a live Cam Johnson o20.5 pts/boards -110, think this game is used to get him a bunch of minutes and in game shape after the injury and he'll probably be the best rebounder on the court for Los Suns much of the time

 

[number2]

Darn lakers subs been scoring last few games of season…..fighting for those paycheck increase….
