I am a bit pissed at POP though.

He pissed away 5 or 6 games early on with those insane "Resting his Player" strategies.

Even one of those games back would probably get a top 3 seed. Those throwaway losses are painful now.

He has to realize this roster is difrent. They dont respond the same way as the old guard years of the Big 3.

How the heck did the Spurs win by 13? It was a tie game and then it was a blowout in a blink of an eye. Did the Kings just walk off the court with 3 minutes left in the game or something?

So a Bulls win at home Wed. vs Detroit or a Kings loss at home vs Houston locks the Kings into the 6th worst record.

POP put in a bunch of dudes who actually wanted to rebound.

The Spurs starters were playing tight or lazy, Pop went to a lineup that got on the boards.
The Spurs bench out rebounded their starters and outplayed them as well.

Sacramento had like 10 offensive rebounds in the first half, if not more depending on scrum possession fouls.
The SPURS 2nd unit took all that away.

Once the rebounding effort was improved, the SPURS were obviously a better team.
Sometimes, it is an effort thing.

PG and Randle. I'm good with that.

We could win 44-45 games next season and get better as the youngsters mature.

And with Randle at $14-16 per and PG at a max, depending on how much the cap goes up and what they do with Deng's contract, they'd have money to go after another FA if they felt like they needed to. Don't know if they could get another max guy, but probably a near max guy.

Damian Lillard is a loser. He always has been and he always fucking will be

Winners don’t go to Weber State. They never have, they never fucking will

What do you think about Derrick Favors?

He can play the 5.

I'm guessing you guys don't want Slowpez 2.0, Kanter?

I would take him if Deandre bolts.

I now know why he calls himself Dame Dolla

Because in terms of currency that’s about all he’s worth

Andrew Wiggins had 5 assists against the Lakers

Yes, you read that correctly.

Did that match his total from the previous 79 games?

Unless New Orleans loses tonight and Wednesday. Which im assuming is unlikely.

You’re catching on!!!!

Wednesday night so many seeding spots up for grab.

Utah plays the Warriors in SLC tomorrow. It is the Warriors final game so I'm assuming they'll rest most of their players so let's assume a Jazz win which would leave the Jazz at 48-33.

If that happens, seeds 3-7 will be separated by a single game assuming the Pelicans handle the Clips tonight.

And to make this even more fun, the Spurs are in New Orleans and the Jazz are in Portland....and oh yeah 8th and 9th are playing each other to make the playoffs lo

Don't know a ton about him, but an athletic big would be a nice addition.

Yeah, if it came down to Kanter or Brooke, I'd just as soon keep Brooke. At least he knows the offense, the players, etc.

With what the Lakers are running, an athletic big would be a much better fit than either of them.

Why you gotta show him doing that shit to the Lakers?

The simple answer would be that’s about all we got to go off of
