It's showtime -- let the (NBA) games begin!

Tyler Ennis with 11 points on 5-6 shooting and 4 assists at halftime. Got the start with Russell not playing.

I love ya Tyler E. but you are killing me right now. Should have known SA would sit everyone. If the Lakers finish 3rd worst they've got no margin for error with that pick. If they don't draw a top 3 ping pong ball in that scenario they lose the 2017 and 2019 first round pick to Philly.

It seems to be going a little under the radar, but Curry has really been in top form lately. He went 8-13 from 3 last night. He was 9-14 the other day. He's gotten to the point where those types of games are kindve taken for granted from him, but that's pretty crazy shooting to do that twice in 3 games.

Yeah I noticed some of his box scores recently. It's crazy to think he;s having a down year, when he's made more 3's in a season than anyone else ever has, but...he kinda is having a down year. "only" 41% from 3.
 
Another Lakers win when the Suns won as well is just insanity.

How do the Lakers win 3 games in a row now.
Celtics clinched at worst the 4th pick in the draft last night.
So KG, Paul Pierce for 1 year has been worth the 16th pick, 3rd pick and at worst the 4th pick thus far and next year's first round pick unprotected.
Thank you Billy King. You have helped rebuild the Celtics and kept the major heat off the Knicks in NYC during a time I bet Knicks fans would have been interested in a winner in Brooklyn if you didn't kill the franchise.
 
Alsacs our bet is really coming down to the wire. Jazz have a one game lead with three each to play for them and the Clippers. Jazz remaining schedule is @Blazers, @Warriors and Spurs at home. Clippers go @Spurs, then Houston and Sactown at home.

If it's tied we both lose right? The Clippers have the head to head tiebreaker.
 
I am being fair btw we both lose if it's tied.
It will come down to tonight. If the Spurs play their guys I am screwed.

By we both lose do you mean we both get to pick each other's avatar, or the bet is just null?

I would say the former just to be fair but if you want it to be null I wouldn't object.

I think picking each other's avatars in the event of a tie is hilarious.

Fair enough it's only a month and it brings fun. I got no objection either way it's all for fun.
 
Not looking good for Miami. 1 game out with 3 to play, and a tough schedule. I think they do have the tiebreaker over Indiana though.

If Dion didn't get hurt, I think they'd be safely in at this point.

If they don't make it, I will really be scrambling for a reason to care about the early rounds. There's usually a fun lower seeded team I end up pulling hard for while they last, and that would be Miami this year. Indy/Chicago/ATL/Memphis/OKC all kinda bore me. I like Portland but they have zero chance.

OKC/Hou will be fun.

Personally, if it holds Tor/Mil, I think that will be entertaining as well.

Yeah, the Heat need to find a way.
 
Why is Ty Lue playing LeBron James 47 minutes in Atlanta in the first game of a back to back.
The 1 seed isn't necessary for Cleveland. They could play the entire 7 game series in Boston and they are going to the NBA finals.
Manage LeBron better don't kill the guy in regular season games.
