He's played damn good all season. Funny you think his skills will magically vanish all of the sudden...wiggy.

Wiggy?!?!

Hell no…lol

* please no *

 

[DJ Fieri]

Idk know how to bet and I still want in on this action

Be patient.

I may add you also.

Wait, we bet on the seed, no?

You will get in.

Just not top 6.

3rd easiest schedule and they are already looking like they have played together all season.

That was one game.

Still have to go around 15-7 and that’s if the most of those teams go under .500 the rest of the way. 14 of 22 games are against the 4-12 seeds.

In comparison, the Cavs have the 2nd easiesr schedule and it’s going to be tough going 8 games over the rest of the way

@Shanemansj13 @WiggyRuss @bksballer89 @dtgold88

This is totally understandable.

But, how can they enforce this?

Can’t he simply pull a Carlos Boozer, Dead Ass D Fisher?

They let him outta his deal and he goes wherever the hell he wants?

Kevin Love approached the team and asked for a buyout, Windhorst added. “I don’t think they were thrilled to hear this, but I don’t think they intended to change what was working,” he said. “So now they gotta work this out. I do think there’s interest in him.” Two or three teams called Windhorst once the news broke, seeking background information on Love. He added that the Heat are “very interested,” but that given the Heat are a potential playoff opponent, the Cavs could possibly try to “negotiate some parameters” to make sure Love heads to the Western Conference.

The Lakers are not getting a top 6 seed.

You improved.

Some of the teams ahead of you, we’re already better, improved as well.

There are less than 25 games less.

Playin, yes.

Playoff, lmao

Outsde of the Mavs...which of the teams that I mentioned improved?

None of them.

But, that doesn’t get you to 6.

There is no doubt you can get the playin.

Getting 6 means lapping the Clippers, Mavs, Suns…who all got better.

Plus they are already in a hole. So the Lakers would have to play much better than at least half of those teams. Obviously play better than all. I can vouch for over half but not all but 3. The Clippers and Suns are not likely to go under .500

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

See, this shit should be enough to know you should pass.

Westbrook is the guy who looks like a good catch on paper.

But, ends up cheating on every girlfriend he’s ever had.

You can’t change folks, they have to want to do that on their own.

He Doesnt.

Westbrook is the guy who always says he can change and adapt.

He Doesnt.

Why would the Bulls want Westbrook?

See how many high usage players they can squeeze on to a playin team?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Why would the Bulls want Westbrook?

Donovan I guess.

Maybe they are striving to at least try to make the playin.

That team is awful without Lonzo.

Right.

Depending on the day, those three teams vacillate between 4-6.

They would have to overtake 1 minimum.

Making up 5 games with 21 to go isn’t impossible.

But, it’s highly improbable.

See how many high usage players they can squeeze on to a playin team?

To make sure they miss the play-in?

Donovan I guess.

Maybe they are striving to at least try to make the playin.

That team is awful without Lonzo.

They add Russ and they'll drop in the standings. No question he's talented. But he seems to be a chemistry killer.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

We have the 3rd easiest schedule left.....think we will win 16 or 17 of those games.

Can we make this another bet?

Not working for me.

Happy 60th to the GOAT.

Barkley's 60th soon too

Jesus you really are as fucking dumb as @Used 2 B Hu said....I didn't say his skills will vanish but he is the king of load management and as such I guarantee he won't be playing in every reg season game left on the schedule. Which of course dj is basing his prop bet on wed night's lineup against a zionless pels team.
