Wolves blowing out the Pistons, which I'm pretty sure is what everyone wanted here so good for us all!

I think I saw Jeff Turner on the floor for Orlando.well, Orlando... that is some roster.
Not bad as the dubs knock off the 2 top teams in the west on successive nights.Nice taste of a potential first round series with GSW and the Suns
I'm rooting for the Knicks in the East. My old teammate is one of their assistant coaches. Easier to root for him now rather than Utah.Either the Knicks are really good, or I am right about my LA teams. Maybe a combo of both. But gotta agree with @Otis, Knicks are good tv.
They are pretty much set at 6th worst record now. That takes them from a 40% of keeping that pick to a 28% chance. Totally worth the positivity and confidence boost this run should give them (and me).points to the thread title
With Curry shooting a combined 4-24 on 3's in those games.Not bad as the dubs knock off the 2 top teams in the west on successive nights.
So love these Knicks. Hard loss to the Fakers last night, by 2 in OT. We just didn’t have the offense down the stretch. If IQ is healthy I think he’s a big help here; Burks too. Still not a bad road trip all in all, and then we finish with three winnable games at the Garden.Either the Knicks are really good, or I am right about my LA teams. Maybe a combo of both.

YesSo then do the losers of the play-in tourney who don't make the playoffs, end up in the lottery despite what their record was end of season?
Tree Rollins was on the stationery bike trying to get looseI think I saw Jeff Turner on the floor for Orlando.
yeah. could end up being a bit of a murderer's road if the Heat end in 6, and the Bucks have to play Miami 1st round, Nets 2nd round, and Philly in the Eastern finals4-6 in the East and 5-7 in the West really up for grabs.
Miami looks really tough and they are healthy at the right time. If they end up 6th they could be a tough out for one of the top 3 in the East.
Really cheering for the Bucks to get that 2 seed. Only remote shot at beating the Nets would be if they have to go through Miami and then on the road against the Bucks in a grueling 7 game series.yeah. could end up being a bit of a murderer's road if the Heat end in 6, and the Bucks have to play Miami 1st round, Nets 2nd round, and Philly in the Eastern finals
if they get in that 4-5 seed, and Knicks-Heat 1st round matchup may not be the most exciting to watch, but man that would be a great series to grind through for both of those teams
predicting the playoffs this year may be little tough with the weird year we have been in, and teams juggling this chaotic schedule and trying to get in the playoffs healthy.Really cheering for the Bucks to get that 2 seed.

Bobby Knight chose Turner over Charles Barkley for the 1984 Olympics.I remember as a kid seeing Jeff Turner and thinking come on how is this guy in the NBA. He had a decent little shot in NBA 94 though.
I don't think Utah is that scary without Mitchell. If Mitchell isn't healthy I wouldn't be surprised to see them lose first round.Portland with an easy win in Utah. I want the playoffs to start tomorrow. I'll be rooting for all the upsets.
I was glued to Wiz Hawks, but will watch it later tonight. I half expect them to romp their way to the title. I bet on it long long ago.Anyone watch the Nets game? Did Harden look as good as the box score suggests? If so these playoffs might already be over.
He looked a bit slow but otherwise very good — his passing is such a boon for that offense. Also has great chemistry with Claxton, who scored a career-high 18 points last night.Anyone watch the Nets game? Did Harden look as good as the box score suggests? If so these playoffs might already be over.
they do look scary good at times. Should be a fun playoffs i think. Sixer shooters need to make some of their shots (and for the love of God, Seth Curry needs to stop passing out of wide open 3s) for them to hang when they meet in the Eastern finals. if they go cold like they did against Indiana the other day, it will certainly be an uphill climb for the SixersHe looked a bit slow but otherwise very good — his passing is such a boon for that offense. Also has great chemistry with Claxton, who scored a career-high 18 points last night.
Now we wait for Kyrie to return.
Claxton is the key, because - as was apparent in last nite's Wiz/Hawks when neither star PG defended his opposite the entire game - it's gonna hafta be DAJ/Griff(if he takes his diminshment seriously) on body work and Clax as the TVhousewife (a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and a woman's gotta do everything else) on defense, cuz stars dont cover now. one of the three will be out, with Clax/BBrown in, most of the time, i expect.He looked a bit slow but otherwise very good — his passing is such a boon for that offense.

I swear he looked fat again. Still love him, but he put on the kilos while he was out.msudaisy26 said:Anyone watch the Nets game? Did Harden look as good as the box score suggests? If so these playoffs might already be over.
Really hard to argue with the success Riley has had down there, but anything gets annoying when the announcers keep beating it like a dead horse.Heat certainly are not going to be an easy out in the playoffs.
game tonight is laughable though. i may be able to like the Heat at some point if i didn't have to hear about "Heat culture" 4-5 times a game every time they play
And then fouled on the buzzer beat for the win.Devin Booker with the rare clutch double dribble.
Wow.. What?And then fouled on the buzzer beat for the win.
No way that's a foul though. This might be the first time I actually like the review if they overturn this.
he got his elbow. Even the lightest elbow taps disrupt a shooter.And then fouled on the buzzer beat for the win.

Ya I guess on the drive there. Thought they called it on the shot when there was zero contact and he flopped to the side there. Crazy game.he got his elbow. Even the lightest elbow taps disrupt a shooter.
You watched the Wolves/Nuggets too?I feel like i watched two playoff games tonight.
I tried to watch it on League Pass but it was over.You watched the Wolves/Nuggets too?
