They are back to a team with a losing record in the playoffs.

I feel like Dame is the active star most likely to play his whole career with one team. If they did, I wonder how many of those picks would be from the Mavs via the KP trade.

The Mavs have added an additional mascot, Mavrello Ballovic. "Ballovic, so the story goes, is one of the original owners of the Mavericks, dating back to their founding in 1980...His “off-the-wall” ideas for the team didn’t sit well with the other owners and he found himself and outcast. In 1988, Ballovic accidentally locked himself in a bunker only to emerge now, digging his way out with a spork." https://www.mavsmoneyball.com/2021/..._source=twitter

Right now I'm rooting for the Wizards to make the 8th seed and upset the Nets. It would be one of the funniest things that could happen in the playoffs.

Porzingis is a great example of why games played is one of the most important stats. edit: lol https://twitter.com/espn_macmahon/status/1389045625652580352 At times like this I wish KP's knees weren't made out of a cheap knock off of glass.

a new study bible! posted:Absolutely. I think the play-in is quite dumb as currently constructed, but if you reseed the entire field and allow for potentially an all-West or all-East championship series then that would be good and rad as gently caress. This would make more sense. As it stands now, the play in punishes West teams. The East play in will see two teams with losing records face each other. This makes no sense and both those spots should be given to teams with winning records. (and if there are none, then there shouldn't be a play in that year because teams with losing records shouldn't be rewarded a chance to get into the playoffs.)

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1389241504678375425 yikes, I'm shocked at any player that isn't vaccinated at this point. I know there was some vaccine hesitancy in the league but how can any player think taking it is a bad idea now when Tatum needs an inhaler to play after getting it? To be nice, anyone not getting the vaccine (that can) at this point is a tremendous idiot. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 16:48 on May 3, 2021 |

euphronius posted:If Lebron is healthy in the playoffs they are still the favorite to win Father Time might have come for LeBron's ankle. Even if he gets better, it might be hard for him to be in playoff conditioning mode since he has never missed this much time in his career. It has typically been foolish to bet against LeBron's health but I worry we might be done seeing LeBron regularly play like LeBron.

I choose to believe Miami sat Butler tonight to hurt Lebron’s seeding. I suspect Durant and Kyrie will do the same tomorrow night.
