slow, plodding Whiteside blocks a 3 to end the game, after scoring 30 with 12 boards.
Not sure who has Heat broadcast, but Whiteside interview just now was pretty cool.

Na I had it on the Washington feed.

6th man of the year?
Most improved in league?

Meant that in a good way. I pointed him out as one of MIP when I first got here.

 

[bksballer89]

Wiggy get what he's been waiting for on Monday night.

Cleveland can clinch the top seed and eliminate the Heat with a win in Miami. Considering that the Celtics won tonight, it all but guarantees we will see their A team.

Tim Reynolds tweeted exactly what I just said pretty much.

 

[bksballer89]

Indy plays Philly on Monday. Safe to say they're in.

This IMO is now down to Miami, Atlanta, and Chicago.

 

[bksballer89]

Washington is locked into the 4 seed with a Raptors win tomorrow over the Knicks.

Depending on how Millsap feels, the Hawks have a good chance.

Tough schedule though. Cleveland tomorrow, Charlotte on Tuesday, and Indy on Wednesday.

coming back to LB Monday morning.

So much drama in the LBC.

I know.
I was asking if he deserves either or both.

 

[trojanfan12]

Repeat, my ass.

My ass.

Lou Williams is the clear cut 6th man. Just my opinion.

But you can't go wrong with him as MIP.

I doubt it still if LeBron plays tomorrow.
What Kyrie status?

 

[trojanfan12]

Why the hell the Lakers keep winning? Fuck!

They remembered they're the Lakers?

Some people say Gordon.
Now they're on the same team.
Could split votes which helps Johnson.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Na I had it on the Washington feed.

He was saying Spoelstra tells him regardless of voting that he's the defensive player of the year.
That he now plays for teammates more then himself.
He also talked about team chemistry and that he wants to play with James Johnson forever.

 

[bksballer89]

What Kyrie status?

If what Lue said on Friday is true, they're going hard til they get the top seed locked in. No matter what happens tomorrow in ATL, the top seed still won't be clinched entering the Miami game on Monday. Will be shocked if they don't play their A team. Kyrie may be the one exception because of his knee injury

I think Gordon gets it. Also some out West (mainly Warriors reporters) saying Iggy should get consideration because he's been amazing since KD went down but hard to win 6th man based on just 2 months of really good basketball.

Surprise to see the Spurs playing their guys tonight.

Sure he did it cause of ABC thing.
Resting everyone yesterday was a pretty good indicator.
