NBA April | 2017 | It's never too late to tank... for the 4th seed

Broken down abused and hurt Jazz woulda been 1 seed in the East. 42 wins is a 5th seed smh

With two days left in the season, the East is ridiculous right now.

Cleveland needs a win vs. Toronto and a Boston loss to finish 1st.

Boston just needs to beat Milwaukee to clinch 1st.

Atlanta cannot face Toronto because of how the matchups work out. They get Washington if they win either of their remaining games.

Milwaukee needs a win and two Hawks losses to move up and face Washington.

Pacers can't pass the Bucks, but a win in their last game against ATL and they're 7th. A loss and a Bulls win and they're 8th. A Pacers loss and Bulls and Heat wins and they're 9th (!)

If Hawks lose both (one giving Pacers a win) and Bucks beat Celtics, then it'll be Pacers vs. Raptors (again).

Heat need a win and either a Pacers or Bulls loss to make the playoffs.

Got all that?

By diehard Go To Postoh i just saw the Clipper score, fuck the Rockets.

Yeah thanks for nothing Houston.

By ridiculous you mean dog shit?

We're gonna beat the Clippers.

We're gonna make it a series against Golden State.

By diehard Go To Postoh i just saw the Clipper score, fuck the Rockets.

Don't say we never try to help you out Utah

By IWMTB19 Go To PostWe're gonna beat the Clippers.

We're gonna make it a series against Golden State.

Clippers have every advantage.

Matchup advantage.
Health advantage.
Experience advantage.
Homecourt advantage.

I'd honestly be stoked if we are just competitive.

Clips fucking suck

Utah takes it

Need to stop watching Tatum Vids.

As it stands i want Tatum over anyone not fultz.

Even more than Jackson?

Looks like Cavs Raps is a lock for the second round. Good luck LFK!

Wiz probably have the Hawks. Hawks are playing great right now, but I'm ready to get my payback for two years ago

Curry and UA at it again:

How could you want Tatum over Jackson? How?

I know UA is just in the business of making shit looking Nike knockoffs for Curry. But why would you rip off the Jordan 22 silhouette. nobody even liked that shit when it was new. then you add couch leather to it...good god UA.

famouslos already in the bathroom i bet

Not sure who id be more terrified of 1v1

Curry
Kyrie
Crawford

Maybe curry bc hed not only do some shit but also launch from just about half court and run back laughing while it's still in the air

all curry and crawford want to do is pull up in your mouth---if you're just focused on pride then all you've gotta do is play against the drive and give up the jumper and you'll be fine

kyrie will aggressively try to break you down because fuck you

I come back from a bachelor party in Vegas and the Lakers won two more time. WTF?!?!

BTW ... I'm never doing the strip again after doing Freemont St.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postkyrie will aggressively try to break you down because fuck you

Yep

By Dark PhaZe Go To PostLooks like Cavs Raps is a lock for the second round. Good luck LFK!

I'm holding out hope Milwaukee beats Boston on Wednesday.

Otherwise we're getting the Bucks/Cavs route, AKA hard mode.

Add Kemba to the list after this year and last.

"You might win the game, but those ankles belong to me"

It's gonna be so sad when he retires

Charles Barkley said that the Warriors aren't a good defensive team lol

By reilo Go To PostCharles Barkley said that the Warriors aren't a good defensive team lol

It's a shame what Inside the NBA has become. Shaq is terrible, Chuck isn't trying anymore, and I don't have much patience anymore for Ernie ("I wrote in Kasich") Johnson.

lol, i want him on my tv making fun of people, replace him with Shaq on TNT.

By DY_nasty Go To PostAdd Kemba to the list after this year and last.

so what are the realgm hornets fans saying about this season? what's with the decline? lack of Jeremy Lin?

Russ is resting tonight. Sad, but it probably helps his case if we get our asses kicked by Minny.

lol

The new Wolves logo look like every redesigned logo

Link?

By Colonel Nasty Go To PostThe new Wolves logo look like every redesigned logo

like someone on twitter said, looks like a SB Nation blog logo.

I mean, they ain't wrong

Glad they appear to be bringing green back, although boo that it appears to be lime instead of forest.

I'm just praying that the Thunder will do something about our trash branding. It's coming up on 10 years old and it hadn't aged well when it was released.

The Thunder rebrand was trash from day 1. What do you mean it hasn't aged well? It was black mold the moment it got out.

That's what I said. You said it better though.

Nike has supposedly been pushing for changes but I guess we'll see.

By Colonel Nasty Go To PostThe new Wolves logo look like every redesigned logo

I like it a lot, actually. The wolf coming over the treeline was really dated and very 90s. This new one incorporate the best elements of the original logo and our current alternate.

We're going to look good losing a lot of games.

However, can we all agree that using an upside-down "V" as an A looks terrible?

Everybody copying the Brooklyn logo. My team too.

No Westbrook tonight. Minnesota has to win.

i was thinking about that myself the other day. not really feeling the blue and orange thing. but i guess the orange is for OKC. yall should embrace the whole Thunder thing and go like electric blue and neon yellow.

something like this except way brighter colors and obviously a better logo

but idk shit about design.

That's somehow worse than the OKC logo.

I don't know shit about design but that looks terrible.

what about this one
http://hoopeduponline.com/2016/03/12/oklahoma-city-thunder-concept-rebrand/

i just googled okc rebrand

whew i googled lakers rebrand and all the results are trash af lol.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postso what are the realgm hornets fans saying about this season? what's with the decline? lack of Jeremy Lin?

Its Clifford. Everyone knows it. Cho has some blame (too much) but with the way our roster is constructed, our margins are razor thin every night - we never turn the ball over, rebound like crazy, and still have to play perfect basketball to win. Clifford's opinion on what perfect basketball is though... that's the problem.

If it wasn't for Minnesota, Cliff would he the coach who'd have to explain losing in the exact same fashion night in and out. Lin leaving was huge, but you see how he is now that he's paid. Would've had no backup pg regardless, MKG would've died playing the four for Marvin (it was Marv or Lin, Marv was cheaper and more reliable all around too), and we still would've been behind the curve in FA. His options were limited, but that doesn't excuse his lack of creativity, flexibility, or unwillingness to use unproven guys in significant minutes.

Also Batum's legs are gone. I can look past the bitchassness on offense but he was supposed to be all-purpose - I'd rather have fat diaw or mcbob back considering how much money he's making.
