NBA Game Action: 2/3/2014

Thank you Wizards for the help.

 

Damn did not know Sacs Record was so bad.

 

Blazers slowly falling back to earth. And Wiz are DEFINITELY handling their business, to our benefit.

 

SA losing too. Could be 2.5 games back of 2nd after tonight.

 

I don't want Portland to fall too far. Rockets would benefit from a 4/5 matchup with them no matter who has home court. Would rather play them than Memphis or Golden State.

 

Spurs finna win another close one

 

Phoenix could be the 6. Would rather have the 3 seed and not be facing OKC in Round 2.

 

Hope the Thunder don't choke this away

 

I'm sorry, but I am enjoying Portland's fall. They were being hyped so much in the first half of the season even though their schedule was super weak. That probably also helped Lillard get an All-Star spot even though his FG% is just terrible (.419). He's Stephen Curry except for within 23 ft.

 

Portland has yet to have a single injury to their starting line up as well. That's ridiculous.

 

Yours is the ideal situation. Mine is more realistic IMO. Remember, the Grizzlies could end up 6 instead of Phoenix.

I'll continue wanting the Spurs to lose every game and hoping the Blazers end up 4 or 5.

 

I'll take the Blazers loss and be content tonight. The Nuggets winning would be a nice cherry on top. I wish the Pelicans would've held on, but they suck so I won't be too greedy.

 

Brandon Knight hits a 3 with 1.4 secs left to put the Bucks up 3 against the Knicks.

 

Cray cray in Milwaukee lol....

And Spurs came back to win over NO .

 

Knight w/ the dagger. Wow.

 

That was painful. It's hard to finish a game with the stale starting lineup (with both Perkins and Thabo). The magic is gone and OKC will be happy to finish 4-1 before the ASB.

From Memphis' standpoint, it doesn't matter where they finish in the standings. When Gasol gets fully healthy and Conley comes back, I think every team in the conference will be scared of them except for OKC. Rockets want to avoid them like the plague in the 1st round.

 

Eventually in the playoffs you have to face the best teams. Eventually we would have to beat OKC. It is better long term to face the best teams regardless of where we finish.

Crazy to think the Wiz are above .500 for the first time since 2009...thank goodness for the Rockets

 

Nuggets are awful off pick and rolls on defense

just really bad
