    If Clippers lose this series, watch Ballmer to sign more players for next year. If Blazers lose this series, nothing will happen

    Our team was only trying to avoid the play-in, which it might very well have lost out of. So we were avoiding the lottery... as much as you'd have liked us to be in it.

    But did we though? It was either win and play in the playoffs or lose and play in the play-in.

    As far as what it costs to operate an NBA team, our owner could spend the absolute most money possible in luxury tax and not blink an eye. The trust is still worth over 20B... yeah that's less than 1/3 of Ballmer's net worth but both amounts make NBA costs look silly. It's just a matter of ownership wanting to spend the money and I also think it's a matter of how close to actually winning a championship the different owners feel their team is.

    I don't root for my team to lose but a pick in this draft would have given us another valuable piece to try and upgrade this roster with.

    Randle is having a bad post-season. It's too bad, the Nicks are the feel-good story of the season. Bright future though. I imagine plenty of FA will be interested in NYN next season.

    ...the crazy thing is the Knicks as a whole shot so poorly tonight that even the fixed NBA refereeing couldn't save them -- check this out, they shot 30 FTA. Meanwhile, the home team Hawks, only shot 8 total FTA.

    SOUND FAMILIAR?!?!?! :dunno:

    Exactly what I advocated the last 2 months of the season. I knew this would happen in the playoffs. I don’t know how else to warn ya. I knew this. Blazers don’t got it. But rebuilding will be fun. Atleast there’s hope to find a “Luka”.. Regardless it’s Better than rooting for this shit franchise going nowhere

    Tatum another 50 points against a super team without Jaylen Brown. I bet Campazo can guard him

    Richard Jefferson might take the cake as the whitest brother ever and things are getting chippy in this Dallas/Clips game and he says “might wanna take that back witchyu”. It easily restores his street cred.

    haha I dunno. Maybe had to be there but it was hilarious
