True. In their last matchup, DJ had some good moments against Embiid but I imagine they'll take their chances with small ball, especially since DJ can get in foul trouble that quickly if Embiid is getting the calls. My only worry for Philly is if Simmons becomes a problem again offensively and Doc's adjustments.

Yeah. Really the only worry for them is if they can figure it out quickly with so few games played together for the big 3. Then again, it's a weird season for everybody.


You say that then it almost happened lol. At least, you get 4th now against ATL. It's almost an even matchup.
jeez we almost choked that game but a win is a win

With the way Steph is playing , Lakers might want to watch out sleeping on the Warriors in the play in and dropping a game because all it takes is Steph going for 40 and the second unit playing well :cantseeme:

This man already has 30 against Memphis in the 3rd and just shot over a double team from halfcourt, absolutely insane.
**** a menace LMFAOOO

Hornets got smacked in the mouth lol. They also choked up a 20 point lead in the game vs the Wizards in which they could have retained the 8th seed. Would have been nice to see Lamelo in the playoffs but they really needed Hayward these past two games.

At this point I want to see Westbrook in the playoffs, the Pacers can come next year they too banged up right now. Levert just got hit with the corona protocols at the worst possible time lol, tough.

I like what I heard from Kenny, Chuck & Shaq. That team didn't look like they were playing in the playoffs or that they don't how to play playoff basketball yet. They were already down bad and gave up 40 to the Pacers without LeVert. 8 players had double-digit figures in scoring. Bad


Hopefully, he does. It's gonna be a tough scene if they lose to IND without LeVert. Even if he just broke the triple-double record, his name will get massively shit on once again for not being a winning player.


Anyway, I predict the Lakers and Spurs will win tomorrow. Lakers are one of the few teams that can possibly contain Curry and I don't want to bet against the Spurs.

none of the except Rozier III had remotely any playoff experience, it also didn't help that they missed 30+ 3 pt attempts before the 4th quarter too some wide open shots. they were fucked after the 1st quarter though tbh

Spurs have been on a very bad losing stretch though (4 game losing streak to end the season), and unlike their old days with Duncan/Parker/Ginobili they don't really have a true clutch scorer besides Patty Mills at times, and Derozan tends to disappear at late game situations as well
 
goddamn LeBron @Noyman

This Warriors-Lakers game is coming down to the wire... Wow
they'll have a good shot against the Grizzlies but this was their best chance to win the game

Wiggins and Poole played out of their minds in addition to Curry. gonna be a very tough pill to swallow for the Warriors but they have to prepare for Friday's game against Memphis

The only one who can beat me is me
Warriors and Steph played better than I expected
If Warriors can get past Memphis, I think they can give Utah problems. Curry is that big of a nightmare, whether he drops 40 on you or not, the entire team is scrambling. The rest of the team finally knows where to be on the floor as well, and have confidence in their shots.

Lmao at the Jazz and Suns, worked their ass off all year to deal with Steph (most likely) and LBJ in the first round.

Grizzlies have the momentum, I see them beating the Warriors. But if the Warriors can get past Grizzlies, Utah is in big trouble.

luckily Steph won't have to deal with a LeBron type of player on the Grizzlies matching shot for shot, if the Warriors can play similar to how they played the Grizzlies on Sunday for the final regular season game they should be able to take care of Memphis

also a s/o to Wiggins, he played his ass off today

Great game. Was lucky enough to see a good Wiggins performance today. Steph played great. LeBron and AD took time but they were eventually great. Pretty much expected from both teams with their strengths and weakness.

Got 2-2 in the play-in predictions. Had Wizards and Pacers winning yesterday.

PHX got FUCKED after having a great season. I think UTA will win whoever they face. They're like '15 Hawks but they have star who could be a superstar in Mitchell. I got them in 6 vs GSW and 4 vs MEM.
