We start tonight with Lakers-Pels then Sac-GS as the nightcap. Pretty damn good doubleheader for a play-in. A lot of thought out there that Lebron and the Lakers may tank this one because they'd rather be the 8 seed and play OKC as opposed to the 7 and have to play Denver who they've lost 9 straight to, knowing they have a home game waiting vs GS/Sac if they lose. Anthony Davis is questionable as ususal but he has been for just about every game this year and plays most of the time. Will be interesting to see. Sac and GS have developed an interesting rivalry the past few seasons with the playoffs last year and that great game to make the quarters of the in-season tourney this year. Should be a fun watch.
Does that include his near misses?
"To receive credit for a game for purposes of award eligibility, a player must have been credited with at least 20 minutes played. However, two "near misses", in which the player appeared for 15 to 19 minutes, can be included in the 65-game count."
He'd still be one game short though...brutal.
Neck injury. He killed the Knicks last time they played the Heat: 34 points, 8-11 from 3.
hahaha, how dumb. He's top 50 in the league in minutes played
If GSW loses to the kings - they’re done. Kings win and Lakers loss means they play each other.
I want no part of Miami and that's not a knock on the Knicks as much as just praise for Miami. Sixers don't have any pelts let alone the pelts that Miami boasts. Fuck Miami. Go the fuck away.
PS--Miami will beat Philly so buckle up.
Gimmee the Sixers. I want no part of the Heat.
As for Miami it will be interesting if they win how they guard Brunson, last year they were able to play zone and easily help and pack the paint because the Knicks didnt have shooters, this year they do, that strategy wont work..
Same for Hartenstein who very well could've made an all-defense team if that wasn't the case. Complete BS
Really goin out on a limb huh? 😂

I think LAL & Golden State make it out of this tournament.

Haha. Oh yeah. And if Stern was still alive, you could take those two making it into the playoffs to the bank.
The dumbest take I saw today was from Nick Wright with Cowherd saying the Knicks will get upset because they play at such a high level already they can't raise their game any higher. WTF does that even mean???

The one time Embiid suited up against the Knicks this season, the Knicks beat the piss outta Philly, winning by 36 in their building.

It means that he doesnt think the Knicks have the talent and that they played above their heads in the regular season

Welp we shall see
Neither scares me. This isn't last year's Heat & Butler didn't end the season well. Embiid disappears in the playoffs plus he's still not healthy. He's not moving well and I don't expect him to hustle. If he were healthy another story
I wish I knew who said the stat but the heat are at the bottom of clutch plays with Detroit and DC. Last year they were in the top half. Butler has also not been on his game. I'll take playoff Brunson.... We shall see
Don’t get your hopes up. Their inexperience is showing. Taking a ton of bad shots this quarter.
The NBA is so poorly run in certain aspects. This is a joke.
LBJ is amazing. He isn’t MJ, but he’s top 5 all time.
16-4 free throws. Scott Foster is in this game for a reason

As Stern would say, ideal Finals matchup would be Lakers vs. Lakers.
Where did that come from? Zion officially measured at 6'6" when he came into the league, after Duke listed him at 6'7".
And making him shorter wouldn't make his ball handling more impressive, which was the tone of the remark.
It’s beyond annoying. All they do is bitch ans complain and have the highest disparity in free throws in the league.

I can imagine as an opposing player it would be hard to not let then get into your head and affect your play too
Hard to beat a team in the playoffs when they shoot more free throws than you
McCollum was straight ass tonight and is sticking with what’s working and that’s Ingram and CJ on the bench.
Zion has been insane tonight.
Ya really sad his body can't hold up
JT039 : 10:00 pm : link : reply
Green puts in Dyson Daniels who gives up a wide open 3 by leaving ball side corner. Who leaves Russell to guard Austin Reeves of all people.
These coaches overthink too much.
Pelicans never had a chance with this cheat in the game.
Pelicans 23
Lakers 12
Free throws
Lakers - 29
Pelicans - 15
Miller sounds like a fool. He's almost 60 and uses phrases a 25 to would use so he sounds hip.

They have an insane amount of free throws this season like 200 more than the Next team. ..
I can't wait until James retires.
Yep, feel bad for him. His game is great just can't hold up
I understand there's value to having Curry spend his entire career in a GSW uniform, so that's all fine, but there's a price to pay for that. The price to pay for that is 3-5 of irrelevance, followed by a lengthy rebuild afterward.
OKC is the gold standard for a rebuild, but few teams have the vision to pull something like that off.

Curry would have to go to GS and be like can you please trade me

The money and revenue is only going to last for so long, if they stink and are constantly losing the brand will start to lose its luster regardless of if Curry is on the team..
Maybe they get lucky and Kuminga keeps improving but they have missed on draft picks, Thompson and Green are both done and Thompson wont be on the team next year, their bench is trash and Paul who was probably their best bench piece is gone..
If they have 30 wins next year the money and revenue is not going to be there
Milwaukee is probably the ideal fit but GS won’t want Lillard. A team like Atlanta? Trading Young and a bunch of picks? The ideal team would be probably the Magic but Paolo is off the table and Wagner, Suggs, and a shit ton of picks won’t be enough either.

The Sixers could make sense to try and make a run with Embiid. They'd have to offer a huge amount of picks and swaps just to get the ball rolling.

Curry would pick the team and it would most likely be a young player, salary filler and drsft picks

would make sense. Be he’s responsible for so much revenue for that team that I don’t see how they can do it. If I were a Warriors fan I’d be thankful for the titles and would want curry to retire a Warrior. If a shitty rebuild happens after, so be it.

I dont agree, his brand is almost bulletproof and his value to GS even in a losing season is immense. Trading him (what can they even get) may not even work out and now you are in a rebuild and have no star power. I don’t really think NBA trades work that well, you basically are collecting future assets and hoping that the incoming class is good. Look how long it’s taken the timberwolves.
I just don’t see it unless he wants out. It’s smart business for both parties to stay as is IMO.

That ownership and Bob Myers etc are highly overrated. They inherited the splash brothers, get credit for Durant but got insanely lucky how that broke down and have completely missed on some very high draft picks.
