If OKC is slotted in as the 8th seed as the season winds down, would it be worth it for the top teams to purposefully tank for the 2nd spot?

Yes.

Holy poo poo GSW is gonna be the 1 seed and lose to OKC in the first round.

If Bizort is around can he tell me how Summer League God Kyle O'Quinn has been looking since return? He was ejected Flagrant 2 for a clean block on a lame dunk and I didn't get to see him play no more. Fined $15,000 for it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8OS4yUR-3A

You saw at the beginning of the game he went for a jumper, the ball fell backwards out of his hands, he went to get it for the backcourt violation, shot the ball at the Clippers basket and got a delay of game warning. Really funny sequence.

Oh, don't worry, I am well aware that they are still the Warriors and one Curry/Bogut injury away from disaster. We got rid of our insane coach though. Thank god.

Look at how far they've come since the backlash for trading Monta for an injured Bogut. Turned out to be a game changing trade for y'all.

Looks like a play on a late 90s gangsta rap outfit, making a point to have blood and crip colors mixed together in a "look I'm mixing these things" type of way, tailored by someone professional so as to fit his bizarre 7 foot frame

I don't think it looks very good but I never liked that LA button-at-the-top open shirt thing even 15 years ago, plus the movement into red seems to emphasize how an inverted bright triangle isn't the best shape to highlight the male form

shiny red shoes are maybe always gonna look like ronald mcdonald tho

Look at the bag. Drummond is obviously into this patterns bleeding into each other type of thing. I'm not a big fan of it

I don't see how they're small. Chandler 7'1, Dirk 7', Parsons 6'9 is a big frontcourt , and while Ellis isn't big Rondo is really long despite being a pretty average PG height. I also don't think spacing will be a problem, if they had two forwards who could shoot from midrange and two guards who hit from three instead of the reverse no one would even bring it up.

They're tall but they're also skinny. Dirk and Parsons aren't out muscling guys for boards or playing great post defense.

e: and also calling an NBA player who has worked incredibly hard to get to this level and his entire career lazy is stupid and incorrect. Josh Smith has never had his effort questioned (at least until coming to the Pistons). His work ethic is really good on the court.

In hindsight, he really did need to shut the gently caress up.

If you were a Bulls fan and couldn't appreciate Mr. C Booze then you should be banned from the Madhouse on Madison.

Boozer ' s defensive reputation suffered cause Thibs always had internal conflict about putting either him or Taj in the 4th quarter.

After reading this post I thought Wade must have tore an ACL or something. Looking at the roster the Heat rolled out for the game tonight it wasn't much better than the Sixers. I can't believe how many players Miami is down. And Wade is playing on what I'm assuming is still a bad knee.

His knee is fine he just is really sick and has intense migraines.

So moving to Orlando has been good cause despite how lovely the Heat have been every Magic fan here is excited about the team. Plus I have Chicago toes after living there for two years do I can still rep the 4th team in the East.

But for real the Hawks are gonna win the Championship and I'ma laugh cause I have watched so many Hawks games throughout the past half decade.

Also Pat Riley knew Spo for a long time before Spo was hired. Dan Gilbert is the opposite in that he has known Lebron for a long time and hardly knows Blatt at all. Riley sticks up for his guys. Gilbert might stick up for his guys, but LeBron is his guy in this situation.
