We didn't tank it. Did the right thing. As I've said, need 1 of the 2 games in Denver. If we don't, series is over in quick order.
Steph Curry only scored 5 points at the end of second quarter.A lot of people were expecting that he's going again for 50
Klay with 0 but they trail only by 4. I expect them to make it, then for Green to go into Zions head next game
I would have been able to accept that too. But the thought of resting guys in a play in game to duck Denver just didn't sit right with me.
boy imagine if we did tank it, lost to NOP, and then had to play the KINGS in a do or die single elimination game, the only other team that has our number and Sabonis is 10-0 against AD? Yeah, I'm glad we did not duck the smoke, as they say. Get into the playoffs and then anything can happen.
I'm wondering if we're going to need 50 wins next year just to sit in the top 6. Getting kind of nuts out west.
I honestly think so. We've got some decisions to make from coaching to personnel. Injuries remain a big issue for us.
Some teams improved wins wise but did not move up in the seedings. At least that was mentioned in last night's Warriors-Kings game.
They've got to get the expansion teams up and running asap. A Vegas and Seattle team gives the West two bottom feeders to beat up on and more importantly moves 2/3 of Minny, NO, Mem to the East. That would actually give Boston some competition. The East gets to do criminal things to DET, CHA, and Wiz year in and year out.
Damn great point. DET/CHA/WAS aren't getting any better either so I suspect all 3 will still be really bad next year. Meanwhile, our worst teams (POR and SAS) will probably get better next year...and even Memphis should be better with Ja/Smart/Adams back and a pretty damn good rookie that's only 19 returning next year. Yup, we need to kick 2 of NOP/MEM/MIN out asap! Preferably MIN and NOP
Nohing will happen but we will get spanked by a team that has beat us 8 straight ! We just don’t match up against Denver. There is no magic potion will be pulled out this yr that will help us beating Denver . We are scared s***less of ducking a game and play sac queens but some how we feel like oh yeah we can beat Denver this yr . We are 3-1 vs okc but somehow facing Sacramento scares us ! Bare with me here i am doing my best to catch up to this logic . it’s less embarrassing getting beat by sac in 1 games rather than getting swept by Denver again….not a soul in the world is picking us to beat Denver
We're not getting swept .... get over it that we're playing Denver. You're the only person here who wanted to tank the NO game to dodge them.
Paul Pierce was on tv laughing at us for playing Denver again ! He was saying Cancun this Cancun that Lakers Lakers Lakers
Are you kidding me ? Ever since guys like Kobe / Clyde Drexler , Karl Malone , Tim Duncan went away west got soft as … there is no way this lakers squad finishes anywhere near 6th spot back in the 90s
You're really on a roll with your hot takes leading up to the Denver series. Now "the West has been soft as ...." since the 90's.
