utenation Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 This lineup without Mitchell and Conley(for about a month) has done well a giant .500 or below type teams. But they have really fallen on their face against good teams fighting for playoff seeding. Teams like PHX and Portland. We did get lucky against Denver about a week ago. I really hope Utah knows what we are doing. Don and Mike aren’t coming back until the playoffs. Most is that is just caution. My fear is rust with no games played to get back in rhythm and game shape. It definitely takes a few games to get your groove back. And losing the 1 seed after all that work to get home court seems risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Have empty (or mostly empty) areas evened out any of the home vs. away records, on balance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 It was a super frustrating finish when you juxtapose it with all the contact Dame takes when driving to the rim that often goes uncalled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole three point shot foul has gotten out of control. I agree with giving space to land but when every guy falls down like they just got shot by a Snipper, kind hard to not touch them. It's getting as bad as Soccer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 What an unbelievable HoF drop off from 2020 to 2021. We go from Kobe, Duncan, and KG to........... Chris Bosh and Ben Wallace? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glduck Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 That’s not to say Bosh and Wallace weren’t great players, but this seems like the Harold Baines or Omar Visquel level of the Hall, especially considering who just got in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll likely be wrong but based on how things look today, I see: WEST 1. Utah 2. Denver 3. Clippers 4. PHX 5. Portland 6. Lakers 7. Dallas 8. Spurs EAST 1. Nets 2. Philly 3. Bucks 4-8. Meh, they all suck. Miami could go on a run though. Well, I was kinda close. Phx stayed strong and surprised everyone. Denver still played well without Murray. Portland was about right. Dallas came together well after the all star break and the Lakers just might be the mot dangerous 7 seed ever. Lakers/GS play in will be epic I think.

Orange Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Something about white fans LOVING to attack black men at NBA games is incredibly unsettling. First Trae Young getting spit on during COVID, now Westbrook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGRDON Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 If a white fan is goin to attack an NBA player it’s almost gotta be a black one. The popcorn thing was stupid and should earn a lifetime ban from NBA games as should any physical contact with a player. Westbrook being unable to get to the fan was the second best thing that could have happened to Westbrook, the first being it not happening. If he would have seriously hit this guy it would have resulted in a huge civil judgment. I mean what would have been a proportionate response? Throwing the popcorn back at him?
