Nice to see that the league continues to find new ways to benefit the Lakers.
They’re only at a +415 or so FTA disparity this year. They just play harder. Mhmmmm. That Austin Reaves just wants it more than Tatum and Brown. You can see it in his eyes.
Excited to wake up in the California morning and have a wild playoff race day in full swing.
+1, although that the games are all at the same time is a little rough for some fans. I'd very much like to see and hear the final moments of Gorman's career, but it will likely line up with the closing minutes of a couple of games with major playoff implications. Kind of sucks.
Isn’t he going to call the first round of the playoffs? I’m going to miss it as well and thought it was not his final final broadcast.
He is. Dont know if he'll travel, though. So after game 2, he may not know if he's done/ if theres another home game.
He is, but speaking as an out of market viewer that watches Celtics games via league pass and national broadcasts, I don't know how many more of his games (if any) I'll actually listen to him call.
Very tough with all the games going at once. My preference is Bucks-Knicks in some order as 2-3 and the Sixers-Heat in some order as 6-7. So I think I'm rooting for all of those teams to win? Permutations are pretty confusing to keep straight.
Bucks @ Magic is the game with the biggest impact, right? Effect on the race for 2/3/4 as well as 5-8...
ATL-IND might be over already, that would rule out the dream of both MIA & PHI out of the play-in
Please do keep us posted on developments here today. I can't flip around watching games today - am watching 4 kids right now, it's all I can do to listen to Gorman - but I'm very interested in how it all goes down.
There are about a dozen games with seeding on the line, but I think the only game where both teams are going 100% will be Lakers/Pelicans, as both teams have major play in consequences if they lose (NO could drop into the play in, LA could drop to the 9/10 spot).
No Giannis and Lillard is playing like shit (2-13). Take away Giannis and I don't think they're a top 6 team in the East, so it will take some luck for them to beat Orlando.
Meh, I think the Cs will be fired up, fresh, and healthy in the 1st round, so that's the best time to hit a quality opponent. In some ways you'd rather face the Sixers or Miami then than in round 2/3.
I really don't care who we play. We are stronger than every single team by a good margin. I am confident.
Yeah, I just meant the entire bracket situation. Heat/Bucks/Knicks or Sixers is prob second worst case, worst being Heat/Sixers/Knicks.
Though if Giannis is done, Bucks might well be done in the first round, too.
I don't know, I feel like more than past years this is more of a "you are what your record says" season.
Boston will have to beat teams in front of them if they want to advance.
There is no value in getting worked up over seeding - they have to beat talented squads if they want to win it all.
Agreed.
Today clearly has an impact on seeding but its also kind of a joke given half the league isn't playing or trying hard.
There should be no excuse for a healthy-enough Embiid 76ers to lose to the Heat on Wednesday, so there's that.
Agreed. I was assuming Cleveland wouldn’t blow a double digit 4th quarter lead at home to the Hornets.
