Bit optimistic I think there, CM. Can't see the Clipps falling any lower than 5th, and think that first round series with Utah will be awesome.

Also how good would Harden vs Westbrook be first round!

Clippers could very well drop. For the last 13 games they play, Cavs, an unpredictable dallas team twice, Utah, Washington, Spurs and Houston. As well as they can play and potentially win those games they have the same chance at losing.

Thunder on the other hand have a rather favourable draw playing only 3 teams with a better record than them.

Would love to see a Westbrook v Harden which is probably more possible outcome. But at the same time, I can very well see the Clips drop below and Thunder to play the Jazz in the first round.

Tatum looking the fireeee. Could leapfrog into #1. Celtics might like him. Still think Fultz>Ball>Tatum>Jackson is pretty set though. Unless Ball goes bananas on the biggest stage to back up a great season. High IQ PG matched with 2nd/3rd best coach with a super high bball IQ in the league is a pretty big deal

Was hearing a lot of good things about Rhode Island and they won me a couple of multi's but not today! They got so close!

Geez this end of the game by Lebron and Irving is impressive down 104 to 99 in the next 3 minutes.

Irving 3 pointer
James Layup
Irving 2/2 Free throw
Irving 3 pointer
James Layup
Irving 2/2 Free throw
James Rebound
James Layup
James 1/2 Layup


the 1 layup missed from James the only flaw.

exactly what you want to see, Irving taking the shots and James driving to the basket.

fully expect Skip to come out calling Irving the Batman of the team tomorrow though.

Irving/Lebron/Love combined for 101 of 125 points. Insane.

agreed

Irving James for 28/43 shots is crazy.

even crazier is Westbrook has taken more shots then both combined, in a game this season.

He only hit 17 though.

Fortnightly Suns rant from j959:

Brandon Knight apparently refusing to play the rest of the season due to 'back spasms' ... but the implication is that he feels 'hard done by, by the organisation' this year ...

If that's the case, Phoenix fans say, "F U Brandon!!!" - you got paid, be a professional and do your flowering job!
what a cry-baby - if he was in a contract year and on a sh*tty contract I could understand but this is beyond a joke imo ...   >:(

:P

valk, if we had got DMC, we would still s*ck so ... probably best for all involved ...  ;)

I wouldn't know as Im a Lebron fan but wouldn't it be better to enter the lottery then get swept in the first round? Really best case scenario is you win one home game and it goes to 5.

Seems a pretty decent draft so getting into the lottery might be a good idea.

have you not learnt a lesson the past 4 years? LeBron team coasts and in playoffs destroys. Atlanta with 4 all stars swept them in the reg season. Cavs than 4-0 them easy in the ecf. we will see the same thing again.
