Around the League: Week 24 (3/28 - 4/3)

[Split T]

Maybe a couple…think it’s gonna be tough to beat Milwaukee…I think they come out of the east. Brooklyn could get a nice path though. They do gotta get through the play-in though where anything could happen.

But a 1-8 game against Miami and then a matchup against the winner of 4/5 which could be Philly/Chicago…I think I’d pick Brooklyn to win both those series. I’m still curious if they manage to get Simmons on the court.

[Split T]

Jazz blew another 20 point lead tonight…players are throwing shade at each other constantly…if they can somehow fall into the play-in and get the 8 seed, sign me up…they are a mess and will almost definitely blow that team up this summer.

Brutal

I wish we could face the Jazz in round 2…can’t see a scenario where they win a 1st round series though. They’ll probably end up 6th anyways against GS.

I think we’re headed for a Clippers, Mavs, Grizzlies run through the West. Honestly we should cruise through those. Grizzlies are the only tough one imo. They just play so hard and smart. Friday night game is not a good representation of how we’d play though. East is a little trickier, but I’m gonna guess a rematch with Milwaukee.

Crazy stat

[BKinSJC]

Lumping Durant’s and Kyrie’s stats together there tends to downplay the fact that Irving went 12-32 and took four more shots, on a night when Durant was shooting lights out and couldn’t be stopped.

Iffe should be one of those

Am I irrational in my desire to see OKC fail miserably? They are tanking worse than anyone ever has…I hope it blows up in their face and then the nba does something to prevent it happening again

[Superbone]

I don’t care that we’re sitting three starters. Today’s game shouldn’t even be close.

I just don't understand the the love for Sam Presti in this situation. Even I could get lucky with a few draft picks if losing 60 games a season didn't matter to my boss.

So the Lakers were all but eliminated today with their loss and the Spurs win.

LA has to go at least 3-1 to get in and hope the Spurs go 0-4…if the spurs win 1 game, LA has to go 4-0. 2 Spurs wins and they clinch.

[Split T]

If anything can get us motivated to play hard, maybe it’s setting a franchise record for wins while officially eliminating the Lakers from the playoffs…that’s in play on Tuesday if San Antonio beats Denver earlier that night

When you're right, you're right.

What can I say? I’ve got nose for these things.
