NBA Game Action : 5/16/2021

Some big games today! Will Nuggets tank vs Blazers to avoid Lakers in the first round? (Blazers loss + Lakers win = lakers 6th seed/nuggets 3rd seed).

Warriors vs Grizz in the WEST and Char vs Was for the 8th seed in the EAST!

 

been peeping what Bucks fans are talking about, and they still have PTSD from last year...they are terrified of facing the Miami Heat in a playoff series...they’re shook

 

The Warriors have been blowing teams out from the first quarter. Today they are already down and playing lackadaisical and barely playing defense. They are clearly throwing this game to avoid the Lakers in the play in.

 

Doesn’t look like that at all. They look like they want to win this game and be on the better side of the play in where they have 2 chances guaranteed to get in the playoffs

 

Curry got all wrist on that “block” no replay of course. After earlier they were clamoring for curry to get 3 free throws on a potential Dillon brooks foul until instant replay made Doris Burke look foolish lol. Now the tv coverage are flat out not showing replays anymore lol. Ja was fouled on that drive to close the quarter. The warriors got 4 team fouls in the first 3 minutes of the quarter and never received another. The league continues to help this team

 

Grizz need to stop complaining about the refs and just play their game. This how the warriors take advantage when you are preoccupied instead of playing your game

 

there goes the "scrub" andrew wiggins again

 

Supposed to be a big game but GS will likely play Memphis again for the 8th spot later this week

 

Everybody rooting for Portland today

 

Playins* still needs to win at least one more for playoffs. Technically, I dunno.

 

in case you didnt know, doris burke is a fan of steph curry.

blantant moving screen there on looney, and she critisizes deanthony melton for not challenging the shot smh

 

wait why is desmond bane off the court

 

Doris loves a little Curry.

 

Lakers going to finish 7th so LeBron could win a championship as the lowest seed ever. Yawn.

Edit: Rockets beat 3 60 win teams. The 95 versions of the Jazz, Suns, and Spurs are better than whoever the Lakers will face in the West this year. They all had MVPs and strong home court advantages, too, not like the mostly empty arenas the Lakers will play in. I'll give them credit if they beat a full-strength Nets, but I really doubt they will all be available if they make it to the Finals. Lakers and LeBron are too important to Silver and the NBA for them to lose.

 

OCP reference: appreciated.

 

I agree with all that, but I will point out that if the Lakers make such a run as a 6th to 7th seed, it will give more general knowledge of the Rockets run in 95 even if they continue to ignore that Jordan was playing that year.
