    I’ve seen this as I scrolled down this thread like 20 times, and it’s f****** hilarious every time. Just hadn’t to comment on it.

    So you know how this guy, @ZenMaster, is the master of Zen... Well I'm guessing the guy in that clip is a master of batting things with that arm.

    It's just my guess, but a guy that would definitely know about that is @sirronstuff. As his handle suggests, he's into that type of stuff. Squint a little and the two "r"s in his name kinda looks like a "m"...Don't it?

    Wanted to post this in here too, because there is a chance this could happen



    If you read the comments the only thing LFR isn't sure of is if UTA has to win another game or so because that is the only team OKC owns the tiebreaker with.

    All of those things have to happen or just any of them have to happen?

    they all have to happen. And Utah needs to win another game I believe. OKC can still miss the playoffs if they go 2-1 but those other things team have to do are a lot more difficult.

    Out of those things that need to happen I actually think its the Pelicans going 2-2 or better and DEN 2-1 or better that is the most difficult, everything else seems doable for me.

    Read somewhere 47 is the magic number. If OKC goes to 47W, they're in. It only means either Minnesota or Denver will drop out because they'll face each other one more time before the playoffs. Either will definitely end with 36L and out.

    Lakers: Lonzo Ball (knee contusion), Brandon Ingram (concussion) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle)

    Great! These three better not miss 1 game next season in our push for a postseason after missing out for 5 years.

    You can bet your a** Lonzo and Ingram will miss games next year. I have some hope for Kuz but these other two are p******...

    Looked like it was going to be ugly early on but we fought and at least kept it competitive. Given how undermanned we were it was a good effort. Last year we lose this one by 30. I do take a bit of solace in that. I'm still hoping for 35 wins by beating the Floppers the last game of the year.
