    Poole and Ubre will have some sort of crazy night against us. Look at Lowry - hadn’t played for like 10 days before he suited up, dropped 37 on us to send a message, and then hasn’t really played since.

    Laker haters everywhere are loving this bs. And Denver will tank tonight to make sure we have to face the Warriors and the 3-barrage.

    Agree with Ox. No way Denver wins tonight. Doesn’t help them at all. They lose and play Dallas then Utah, putting the Clips and Lakers and Suns in the other bracket.

    I have a hard time believing the Clips can tank enough to lose to OKC.

    Playing GS. Sucks. But...

    Oubre not done necessarily, could be back for first round. But yes, won’t be playing Wednesday. So there is that...

    I’ve got to say I’m surprised with the 1-7 seeds all up in the air that we have the only nationally televised game on tonight and that all are played at the same time. Would love to check in on some of those other games.

    Those two losses were just inexcusable and cost us the 6 seed and maybe the 5th seed if Dallas loses tonight.

    If Schroder didn't get the covid protocal, Lakers would had avoided the 7th seed

    Still can't believe this play-in BS. Team that has 9 more loses can advance over basicly a 5th place team.

    It's pretty asinine. Last year's play in was great when it was just the 8th seed in question. The 7th seed should not be up for grabs given the difference in records especially in the West. Ridiculous for that to even be a possibility. It's too much of a leap and punishes a team that has done well all season.

    They could do an 8-9 play-in if the 9 is very close. But 10 has no place being there. In this case, the Spurs should have no chance to make it. What have they shown this season? They are literally 9 (!) games behind us. How does that make sense?

    They wanted Zion to make the playoffs i guess, too bad the Pelicans SUCK. Now they might bounce us in the process... good luck with the ratings.

    I'm fine with 10th, if they're within maybe a couple games of 9th. One game separates Hornets and Pacers. I think they're fair to include in the mix. But there's a 5 game divide between the Spurs and Grizz. Spurs should be scheduling exit interviews today.

    BUT 7th should never have to fight for their seat at the table. That's asinine.

    LOL!

    Green shutting down AD. 2-12 /facepalm

    Schroder 1-8. As I've repeatedly said... I cringe any time he shoots anything besides a layup.

    AD is NOT an Alpha.

    Zero retort, argument to that. Period.

    Do not question the method to the madness.

    Go back and look at the times I've thrown shade at this team.

    They've won every single game.

    Rather have Damian Jones for the playoffs than Drummond and Harell.
