NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

kinda crazy.

They never led until after the clock ran out

They aren't going to be 11-6 or 12-5.

And don't sleep on the Bucs winning the South....they already beat you once.

And I don't give a damn if they don't get 11 or 12 wins. 9 or 10 wins get you the same place as 11 or 12 wins would get you. Hosting a home playoffs game

I'm not sleeping on anyone but 5 of their final 8 are on the road so it will be a difficult task for them.. As I said 2x before, if you are leading your division entering week 11, YOU ARE IN FINE SHAPE TO HOST A PLAYOFFS GAME.

Does it mean you are a slam dunk to win the division? No but it means you are in fine shape to get the job done

I would rather be in first place instead of 3rd place at that point of the season

winning the division is winning the division even if its the worst division in football- can only play your schedule.

Exactly he is just bored. Had this been basketball where winning the divsion doesn't guarantee you shit then he would have a point. In NFL and MLB, it doesn't matter if you win 52% or win 70% of the games.....winning the division will get you a home playoffs game/series

both teams made a lot of mistakes- but I gotta say- with our #4 and #5 tackles starting- especially some practice squad guy starting at LT, I thought the Ravens defense wouldve performed better.

To be on the road- muff a point on the 12 yard line- give up a pick 6, give up multiple pass interference in the end zone (1 of which was very very questionable), I was extremely glad to see them pull it off.

Watson looked so much better in the 2nd half. Ravens defense looked tired in the 2nd half.

Going forward losing Staley is going to be a huge loss for the Ravens if he is out for an extended period of time.

AFC North is definitely the best and toughest division in football. I do not think any other division has 3 good teams, left alone 4.

^^^Oooo, I wonder if this is the part where he makes playoff predictions...

"You can't play basketball on a football field"-WiggityWack, said just before Patrick Mahomes' first Superbowl title...

I think all the Ravens need is for Jackson to turn it loose. I sure as hell hope he isn’t planning on playing his whole contract like he is now. Hopefully he will come on at playoff time. They are screwing up home field though.

 

[Black Adam]

I don’t know what is wrong with Lamar, he has everything to win, they should be undefeated and that is the truth. Is what it is.

I don't know about all that, but yes, he's got winning tools...

 

[thunderc]

It looks fine

I’ll never call out anyone for making a prediction, it means you are willing to put yourself out there. In some cases we put our money behind those predictions. I know a local radio guy here who is a handicapper who has 5k on the ravens to win it all. Would cash over $100k. He hit the Rams a couple years ago huge. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

I will if it's accompanied by a whole lotta trash talk...

Never was much of a gambler...

To each, his own I guess...

For sure, yeah predictions about your own team can be a different story. If you make them and expect to be taken seriously you have to own up to them.

Well Holy shit.....despite me thinking at least 3 times I hate being a Browns fan (the pick 6, the fumbled punt return, the missed XP).

Rough day for the Watson and stefanski critics after a great start for them but what a performance and an incredibly amount of fight they showed. O played a near perfect 2nd half. Oh, and thank you Teller for recovering the fumble on GW drive.

I thought Ford played his best, most consistent game maybe of the year. Hunt was same old Hunt. Tough runner today

Yep and predictions are fun at the time of but unless it's for bragging rights or i have money on it, i don't care much about it after the season starts

Let's go!!!!

He has played really well since Cubb went down.

Just inconsistent. Looks like a god one game then he can look subpar others. Other than that MVP year it’s been the same trend. No answer for it. Dude has so much talent

He looks like he is playing not to get hurt to me. That’s why I’m anxious to see if it changes come playoff time.

Those non-contact are the freak injuries. Pretty sure he lost an entire season earlier in his career. Damn
