I must be having a flash back.

Looked like Dwayne Wade was on the Heat bench in a uni for a second

Not really. If (if) they play right, it shouldn't matter. They haven't played right in a week, so???

Yeah, they've been fine offensively, but prior to the 4th quarter vs. the Suns, the defense has been terrible over the last 3 games.

Hopefully, they will come out and look to end it early so they can sit Lebron and AD for most, if not all of the 4th quarter.

But, they'll likely play with their food and end up having to play them each 38+ minutes.

With so many teams going with bench games today, gotta go with Lakers and Celtics vs the Masters on Easter.

I'm not looking closely but it seems every team in the East games is resting starters, right? No seeding changes are possible?

 

[msgkings322]

UD the leading Heat scorer at the half. Love it! Probably the last time he will be on the court, except maybe during a playoffs blowout if there even is one for the Heat.

That’s what the Clippers did for the 1st 3 quarters until RoCo said ENOUGH.

Klaw was able to sit the whole 4th.

“But RoCo (Robert Covington) made a point in a timeout to make sure we come out and make sure the starters to get their rest for tomorrow and we were able to do that.”





ETA: I don’t think George is playing in the first round.

 

[Mecca]

Here’s the before.

Gonna be fun to see how it shakes out after.

@trojanfan12 @shopson67

Do the Timberpups hold the tie breaker over the Lakers?

 

[wildturkey]

They are going home anyway with no George.

Seriously, even with the play in teams, I wouldn’t confidently take them over anyone but the Lakers.

So, no point in risking falling into the play in.

Clippers have the tie breaker over the Dubs and Lakers, not NOLA.

Clippers lose, NOLA AND Dubs win, we finish 7.

Uh, no.

You're overworrying here. You're right in that they have no shot against Phx without George. But they could hang around with Sac or Mem without George, especially Mem considering how undisciplined they are. And you can beat any team in the Play In, especially the Lakers which you own. They can't win without George regardless, you're right on that, but there's more potential avenues of success by not being the 5 seed for the Clippers. Plus, say on the off chance you do lose both play in games. Who cares? That means you weren't good enough anyway regardless of who you faced

 

[wildturkey]

Better late than never to boost depth, but I don't get what took them so long to add Thompson. They needed depth with Bamba out, worked Thompson out, then just sat around for 2 to 3 weeks before finally signing him.

Happy Easter - Passover - Ramadan.

Go Knicks - Go Dubs.

Yes.

Lakers were 1-2 vs them.

D-Lo since the trade:

17.4 and 6.1apg while shooting 49% and 42% on treys.

[Stakesarehigh]

Glad to see Casey gone

They need to nail the next hire.

If they are that good not going to matter what the Lakers do.

 

[DJ]

Well, so far we got them.

Bron cooking so far.

 

[thunderc]

I guess the Mavs are thinking if they lose bad today the league might back off. Ok I don’t know what they are thinking lol.
