  1. I think it will be 7 games but I just don't know who to pick. I don't think the Clips are as good as last year and we're much healthier going into this one. I'm not sure if it's enough to get us over the hump or not, but I will say, this is Rick's time to shine. I've complained about him this year, but he's a major advantage over Lue. Kawhi has also been hobbled the last month or so. We'll see if he can just turn it on after not playing much.
  2. Do you think it was from the flight? I ask because you specifically mentioned the flight.
  3. Totally forgot they traded Lou Williams for Rondo. Even more motivation to beat them down. Just looking at their roster and I have no idea who is going to provide them scoring off the bench. Boogie? They're obviously going to be very tough defensively, but it's asking an awful lot to keep our offense it check over 7 games. Two reasons I think we have a good chance this year: 1) Hopefully KP is healthy 2) Brunson is available Having Reddick available would be a really nice boost to the bench. We can go way deeper than them at that point. I seriously don't know what they're going to do if Paul George plays like he did last year.
  4. You are aware we drilled them the next game, right? They also aren’t as good of a team as last year after losing the 6th man of the year.
  5. I mean, we took the clips to 6 last year and only had Healthy KP two games. We absolutely drilled them twice this season. Luka is about to make Morris his bitch and it’s going to be glorious.
  6. This a bizarre take seeing that we won the season series against both of them and the nuggets are missing a starter.
  7. I mean, I get that motivation is lacking but playing just a little defense would be preferred.
  8. Eff em. We’ll kick their ass with a healthy squad this year.
  9. That is a 55 win pace. Imagine if they could clean it up against the teams under .500...
  10. Interesting outcome with the Clips losing to Houston. Denver up to the 3 seed and has the tie breaker. They also play Portland Sunday. If they tank, they ensure they avoid the Lakers in the first round and lock them into the play-in. I think the Mavs just need to rest everyone on Sunday. You really have no control who your first round matchup is at this point. Might as well rest.
  11. I will also point out I thought Lebron and AD would be back for the last two or three weeks. 😛
  12. The Mavs will be out-matched and out-classed by their first round opponent regardless of who it is.
  13. Ain’t gonna be no play-in here!
  14. My playoff preference is based on whichever team cannot play small ball. Geez do we struggle with that.
  15. Just win and let things fall where they may.
  16. Man, Timmy can’t buy a bucket tonight. 1-12.
  17. Nobody else watching us send the Lakers to the play-in?
  18. Good 3 pt shooting in the 2nd. Let’s hit the gas and pull away here in the 3rd.
  19. We have bad Timmy in the first quarter. Need to find him some easy buckets to get him going.
  20. This is why I try to stay out of the noise and try to look at things at a macro level. This is why all these voting restriction bills are running through state legislators at an amazing pace. The writing is on the wall for the GOP and they know it. This is also why I'm not as concerned about 2024 as many. Trump running again is not going to make these splits better. In fact, it will be a bigger beat down because the base continues to dwindle. I'm starting to believe Trump isn't going to run again and the GOP will try their best with DeSantis.
  21. I'm not sure I prefer one or the other to be honest. I don't think the Clips are as good as they were last year. The only other benefit to moving up to 5th is the Lakers would be on the other side of the bracket if they end up the 7th seed.
  22. I think tonight's result in the Portland-Phoenix game will dictate the plan for the last two games. If Portland wins tonight, you just go for the win on Friday against Toronto to clinch the 6th seed and then rest everyone Sunday. I think being rested and being able to get several practices before the playoffs is the better plan. If Portland loses, do you go all-out trying to move up a spot? I'm not even sure it matters at that point unless you like the matchup against Denver better.
