Westbrook's technical that would have landed him a suspension gets rescinded... Convenient!

[shel311]

Just realized Westbrook also got his 1st 15 techs without having one rescinded...16 gets you a suspension.

And since getting 15, he's had 2 rescinded, what's the point of even having the rule if you're going to bend the rules once guys get to 15?

only reason you care is cause OKC-NO fighting for 8th. if NO wins theyre in, so just win 2 games or you don't deserve to even be in the playoffs

[shel311]

Yes, I may not even notice it if NO wasn't affected by it, but if I did, I would still recognize the ridiculousness of the "rule"

Minny and a more than likely resting SA. I like NO's chances

i like our chances just based on having the tiebreaker...but I'm pretty sure SA is playing for the 2 seed, and won't have it locked it before the final game, unfortunately

clips are .5 back, both have 2 games. if SA wins and LA loses they would clinch it. have faith. Plus truthfully, I dont think Pops gives a shit if theyre #2 or #3 seed lol

edit: shit, SA has 1 game left. my bad.

in doing some research, a ton of techs get rescinded

Pels are in trouble. Tied up with OKC, each 1 game left, we own the tiebreaker...

But the Pels host the Spurs, and OKC gers Minnesota. Not good!

It's basically like the MLB 1 game playoff.

Winner gets the luxary of a 1st round sweep

Normally I'd say you're in good hands with a matchup against the Spurs... thinking Pop would bench his starters in the last game of the season. But if I were him, there's no way I'd take it easy this game. If they win tonight, they get the Mavs instead of the Grizzlies... I think that's pretty important.

The Spurs can go from the 2nd seed to I believe 5th or 6th seed depending on how the last set of games shakes out, so I think they're going all out to win this one.

The Pelicans are home, so I don't think it's an automatic loss, but I'm sure we're an underdog.

I don't ever bet the NBA but last night what a brutal beat for any NBA bettor who had GS -8. They were up 37 in the 3rd quarter at one point and won by 6.........

KG's reaction was great

[Cnasty]

I enjoyed his wife trying to make him stop as she saw the cops approach in the original one. Too late.

I know you guys say the college game can be boring which I agree with but....

I feel like some of the first round match ups, especially in the East, are just as terrible.

When you say "especially the east", that insinuates partly the West.

This season has some of the best, most intriguing 1st round matchups I can ever recall out in the West...and I don't even know what the matchups are yet.

[DRiccio21]

i don't remember anyone saying the college game was boring.

i actually think the college game is more exciting, the game itself is just garbage and the players aren't in the same galaxy as NBA players. its just a different game completely.
