[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The Antman name is appropriate. Comes up small, at least vs the Lakers these past two games.

Neat factoid


Also, every team in the Pacific division is in the playoffs.

Also, I've always rooted for the Kings to be good, fun to see it. Loved that 2001-2002 team too.

Vando had him on lock

I had a blast watching that but whatever

Defense isn't always entertaining to everyone. It was more than defense though, the Wolves got passive.

WOW

And LeBron haters will say he passed up another big shot. It's called winning.

I have several reasons to hate on LeBron. That isn’t one of them or even close to it.

 

[broncosmitty]

And he often wasn’t the guy on the court playing the worst.


That was a horrible finish. And finish can go back into the third on this one. Brutal 50 minutes on my couch earlier.

OK now I super care

Good to know. Should serve as your first clue to knowing why LeBron is actually hated.

Which after 20 years should be painfully obvious by now…

It’s a waste of time though because with your compartmentalized lifestyle you’ll never get it.

Yea

Credit to LA playing some great D but that was inexplicable offense on the Wolves end.

The Wolves are a scrappy fucking team......think they win Friday vs whomever wins tonight.

Russell played like ass as did Reaves.

Thank goodness we had Bron, AD and Schroder.

Reaves is a nice 6th or 7th guy on your roster but any team that pays him 20 mil per is going to regret it.

Lonzo has had like 3 surgeries in the past year +

i dont think its a lack of love of the game keeping him off the floor--- he worked hard to go from an abysmal shooter to a very solid 3 pt shooter.

That's my take on him as well.

Some guys bodies just aren't made for the grind of an NBA season.

He's young, so hopefully he and the Bulls can figure out a way to keep him relatively healthy.

 

[trojanfan12]

Welp....

Play in games really do add some unpredictability to the NBA playoffs...very NCAA tournament like.

That plus all the end of season intrigue, trying to avoid 7 or 9, trying to make 10. Big fan of it.

Despite the scare last night...I agree.

I like it better than I thought I would.

 

[trojanfan12]

Bullshit call. Shooter has already landed safely, not a shooting foul (if a foul at all, flopped).

Nah, that was a foul. He backed into Conley's landing zone and made contact.

Refs are calling that every time.

 

[trojanfan12]

Honestly I thought it was a cheap call before your homeristic presence chimed in…

Now I think it’s legit.

It was legit. The NBA has been emphasizing that call for a couple of seasons.

I was actually impressed that they called it on the last shot like that as they usually don't call fouls in that situation, even though they should.

 

[shopson67]

Is it still a landing zone if the player has already landed? That was a marginal call at best, and certainly not one that should be made with .01 on the clock, especially with the physical play that was allowed for the other 47.59.

 

[shopson67]

They ran out of gas it seemed. Plus, all those 3 pointers that were falling early mostly dried up (as tends to happen).

AD stepped into his landing zone just as he was landing and even then, it likely isn't called if AD doesn't make contact with him.

When a foul occurs should not determine if a foul is called or not.

Especially a foul like that one which has been a point of emphasis because of player safety.
