I'm glad the Blazers had to use so much energy. Maybe Philly will take something out of them. I really don't want them in the 1st round. Dame Dolla ain't no joke. Hassan Whiteside is a handful. If CJ McCollum and Trevor Ariza come alive they're going to be a tough out.
Since the Lakers clinched #1 seed they've be playing with no energy. I hope they're coasting. What's it, 4 games to playoffs? It's time to show what they have. Tune up is over.

OTOH, i think the Lakers could use a punch in the mouth in round 1 to wake them up. Like OKC in 2010.

A KICK IN THE ASS would do a better job of waking them up. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Clippers color commentator just said Kyrie is possibly the most talented PG skills-wise that the league has ever seen. _________________ Damian Lillard shatters Dwight Coward's championship dreams:
The Nets defeat the Clippers 129-120 to drop L.A. to 47-23 and 3-3 in seeding play. Kawhi Leonard was unstoppable w/ 39 points, six assists and four steals in 37 minutes. L.A.'s defense never fully clicked.
Up next: Denver on Wed. in a game that could determine No. 2/3/4 seeds

not worried about Portland at all
It's not going to be a cake walk.
1) Mello ain't mello no mo. He's playing some good sometimes great ball.
2) If Trevor Ariza hits 3's like he's capable of doing he'll be a handful.
3) CJ McCollum can get hot and lite it up.
4) Hassan Whiteside is a defensive force in the post. He leads the league in blocks.
5) You know Dame Dolla ain't no joke. He's one of the best doing it. He can put a team on his back and take to the finish line.
Portland's gonna to be a tough out. I'm really hoping we get Memphis. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Ariza opted out of the bubble.
Good. Thanks didn't know that. I did notice I hadn't seen him on the hardwood. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

Ariza is out
Whiteside barely play 12-15min with nurcic back
who is guarding Lebron?
who is guarding AD?
you can double team dame and let others beat you which i really doubt
do the lakers play against Kings as they are out of the playoffs?
Yes. All games must be completed.
If I’m Vogel, I’m using tonight as the dress rehearsal for the playoffs and then not playing any of the main guys on Thursday against a checked out opponent.

Yep. Then the Kings have to take a quick shower and immediately leave the bubble. _________________ 💜💛 🏆 👀 🍖 #18!!!

Apparently the Suns are going all the way off in the bubble.
Per McTen
The Suns beat the Thunder 128-101 to improve to 6-0 in the bubble, led by Devin Booker's 35 points. They're a 1/2 game behind POR for the No. 9 spot. Headline writers, have at it: Scorching! Sizzling! Rising Suns! Book it!

Suns sporting a net rating of 11.1 in the bubble. That's GSW stuff
GS.... The thought of them coming back healthy, with a prime Wiggins, and Wiseman is scary. This is the best chance LeBron has a at a championship, unless we get a 3rd star i dont see us coming out of the west next year. _________________

They'll have a depth problem, though.
Curry, Klay, Wiggins and Green will make a combined $129M next year.
All those contracts go up to 2023 or so. Not easy to trade, specially Wiggins ($29M next year) and Green who aren't exactly superstars.
Aside from the probable #1 pick, they have only #48 and #50.
Obviously this can change with a blockbuster trade, but as things stand today the Warriors will have to fill their roster with veterans on a minimum deal
