Is first Taam....Steph/Luka/ Giannis / Joker and Embiid ?


Don’t think they can force Bron there he missed too many Games :jbhmm:

Jokic Embiid Giannis Wardell are locks.

Final spot could be Luka or Dame.

Both their teams are 40-29 with Dame (64 gms) and Luka (63 gms) having played essentially the same amount of games. Might come down to whoever takes the 5th seed.

2 bad losses by Phoenix back-to-back; both against the two teams (LAL/GSW) with the greatest chances of being their first round opponent.

A mid loss by Philly, since (1) Embiid was out and (2) ultimately they just need to win 1 of their final 3 to secure the #1 seed from BK.

I'd like to see playoff rematches of LAC/DAL ('20) and DEN/POR ('19)... altho Jokic vs Doncic and Dame vs PG/Bev storylines wouldn't be bad either.

The Heat's next couple games (PHI and MIL) will be interesting. They're winning more, but mostly against play-in teams and bottom feeders. So here's a couple chances to see if they've really turned a corner.

Harden is a game time decision vs the Spurs. Given that SAS basically needs 1 more win to secure a play-in... plus a b2b for BK (so possibly no KD, Blake, or Kyrie) i'd say just give Harden 15-20 mins max and be done with it/let SAS rout em.

I still think Bron is getting first team all nba. Harden should be a lock too.

Real or not, I find this hilarious :mjlol: he tweeted this when they were 32 - 24 with 16 games left, I thought they would only hit 40. Currently at 40 - 29.

They play the Jazz tomorrow with Mitchell out, the suns, and the nuggets this week


He’ll get it. Money on the line Dame always delivers:obama:

the playin games make no sense

why would 7 play 8 and 9 play 10?

it should be

7 plays 10 and 8 plays 9. If the higher seeds win they both make the playoffs

if both 7 and 8 loses then they play again and the winner of those games become the seed they're playing for

if 7 loses and 8 wins, then 8 seed becomes 7 seed and 7 plays 9 for the right to be 10 seed

if 7 wins and 8 loses then 7th seed stays 7 and 8 plays 9 again for the right to be the 8th seed
