Around the League News: Week 20 (2/27 - 3/5)

[Superbone]

How many teams has Pat Bev been on in the last 3 years? Nobody wants to keep him.

Makes sense to me.

This NY-BOS game has been pretty awesome also. Thibs has played basically just 8 guys including playing Quickley 54 minutes and Barrett 50 minutes.

Yeah I watched from the 3rd quarter also and at no point thought about changing the channel. That was some good basketball being played.

Brunson All Star snub was followed by him going on a tear, the Hart addition been money and to beat Cs minus Brunson is impressive

[Mori Chu]

In terms of the Western standings, right now we are the #4 seed and are set to play the Warriors in the 4-5 matchup. That sounds like a very rough first round series to me, facing the defending champs who will presumably be at/near full health. Winning a game in their arena is no easy feat. The Mavs would also be a bad draw. I'd much rather play, say, Minnesota or the Lakers.

[Superbone]

Whoever has to play us is getting the bad draw.

[Split T]

Minny or Sacramento would be the dream for me. After that I don’t really care. I think we can beat anyone though if we’re healthy.

[MightyMoog]

There's a good chance we're the 2 seed. Memphis is dealing with what we went through earlier in the year, injuries and distractions. They're only 3 games up at the moment. We're going to have the tiebreaker against them because for all of Ja's confidence of being all good in the west they have the worst conference record out of all the contenders. Another 4-5 game losing streak and they're slipping real fast. Sacto has a better chance of retaining their position, but they also have to play us twice still and they're only 2 games ahead. Meaning that technically, if we were to win out the rest of our games that we would overtake them.(I know it's still too far out to think like that, but I like our chances)

There's no way I would have expected Brunson, Barrett, Randle, Quickley, and Hart to be this good together. Good for them. That team is like the anit-Knicks - good support players playing well together instead of big names playing poorly together.

Don't worry, The Suns will be the #2 seed.

[Mori Chu]

This is nasty.

[Superbone]

I thought they were going to call timeout just before he received the ball for the 2nd FT.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Left out the best part. Williams is one of the biggest shithousers in the league, so I find some joy in all of this.

[bajanguy008]

This was beneath Giannis.

I thought the same thing. I couldn't recall anytime he's done something goofy like this.

[Superbone]

Cap was right on! Glad to hear it.

Nitpicking, but there is a case when an FGA can be counted without intent to score: when the ball goes in accidentally and the bucket has to be attributed to somebody. There can, however, never be a missed FGA without intent to score.
