    well...Norm Powell 14 point on 15 shots and another loss. He's worth a 1st round pick?

    Damn. Oladipo's legs just won't hold up. That's a real bummer and I really hope it's not too bad but he has experience with catastrophic injuries and he didn't look like he thought it was OK at all.

    Worst start possible for memphis. Brooks looking pretty foolish right now.

    memphis is a paper tiger. shame we didn't want to try to win this year. west is wide open.

    east looking shaky with injuries too.

    these kids talk way too much for their own good. you'd think they learned something from the flameout last year against GS. guess not.

    I’d take the playoffs every season than not. Not sure why this is a stumbling block for you homie.

    I’m still baffled a #2 team is getting it handed to them by a #7.

    For this board he is basically worth Schrodinger's draft pick, depending on the night.

    Maybe it's because the number 7 team has one of the two greatest players ever to play the game, a guy that has been a perennial all nba big and a supporting cast gifted to them in a mid season trade with the Jazz and Wolves. You like to make that joke about the Blazers always playing teams without their best player but that's just a joke. It's a fucking fact that the Lakers pull off some trades that leave you scratching your head about what the teams they are trading with could possibly be thinking.

    Nets lose at home to the 76'ers w/o Embiid. Yikes.
    Cippers are a M*A*S*H* unit....again.
    Gobert ruined the Wolves for years.
    ...and the Grizz are regular season hype that are Playoff trash.

    Grizz are not playoff trash. They’ll win this series. They’re deep, experienced, and battle tested.
