Looks like the Pelicans will win. Gotta win out to hold them off for 7.

 

[noblekane]

so we can only be 7 seed or below now?

Still depends on the Warriors-Kings game tonight, but trending towards 7 than 6.

 

[tupac003]

7 is much better then what we were at the trade deadline...

I'll take whatever we get.

At this point it's on us.

 

[noblekane]

kings are definately losing tonight

 

[Lizakers]

Don’t wanna get ahead of myself but a 7 game series with Dillon brooks will be fun

 

[Dhizzle]

All these teams are winning out. Tonight should be a W but im not too sure on Sunday given what happened last time
What they get for trickin off the HOU game and giving away the Mavs win

 

[essential1]

If they finish 6-7-8. It is what it is.

Individual losses mean almost nothing, stretches matter more.

For example, Lakers lost against the Rockets and Mavs. Mavs blew a 26 point lead to us. Warriors lost a game to Lakers without Bron and DLo. Wolves might have the worst record in the league against the bottom 5 teams in the NBA.

They are 16-8 since the players from the trade started playing. If they finish 16-10, can’t complain about it. If it was 10-16 like the Mavs or 11-12 like the Wolves, then there’s some reason to say “they let it get away.”

The 2-10 stretch killed the idea of home court in the 1st round etc. Not individual losses as much as it easy to point to. Hell if they started 4-8, which is still terrible, it would be a different scenario right now into the last few games.

 

[atlsfinest]

Pelicans are terrible. I hope we play them in our play in game and make quick work of them. They were struggling against a short-handed Knicks team. The only thing that has kept them afloat is the fact that they've caught literally eight consecutive teams who are resting their guys. Incredible string of luck.

I expect us to play down to the suns level and make it a close game. End up winning by 6

Watching NBA TV and they're showing Pelinka while the players shoot around. Pelinka looks like one of those botox'd Hollywood stars.

Are you sure it isn’t Rob Lowe?

 

[essential1]

I hope the Mavs lose their pick anyway.

Chance to, albeit small chance to make it. They sit Kyrie and pull Luka after a quarter. Let these idiots max out Kyrie. Struggle to build a team and be a 7/8 seed next year.

[essential1]

[essential1]

Even without Dennis. What the hell is this lineup.
