OFFICIAL AROUND THE NBA: APRIL 2023

In the article it said both women wanted to press charges.

“A source confirmed the incident and said both employees wereinjured and asked to file charges.”

 

yikes!

Edwards will be sharing some of his salary with those two women

 

I heard the headline of him throwing a chair and thought he was an idiot.

But watching that it looks like a non event. Ridiculous to call the cops or file charges.

NBA may need to better protect their players from frivolous shit.

 

The Heat are the first play-in team to win a playoff series. Looks like the play-in tourney has been a huge success for the NBA. Maybe the mid season tourney will be as well.

 

The Lakers have two more shots at making it happen for the second time.

 

I read the women were employees of the Nuggets which is why they were on the concourse. Don't know if it's true

I guess the NBA could enforce a wider exit aisle for the players so they can swing around chairs during tantrums without fear of hitting anybody

 

Erik Spoelstra showing everyone why he’s the best coach in the league. Period.

 

You call that "swing around chairs during tantrum"? It look like he started to pick up a chair and dropped it.

I've bumped into random people in crowds more forcefully, guess I'm lucky nobody has called the cops or pressed charges.

 

Maybe just don't throw chairs?
Is that really asking too much?
Punch the wall like his teammate.

 

Oh my. That was such a barbaric act. Suspend him one season without pay

 

Does the winner make the playoffs?

 

Yeah this year the Playoffs are just solidifying my thoughts on tanking. I really don't ever want to read another poster tell me "Why make the Play in and just get swept in the playoffs?".
Great moments and great plays happen in the Playoffs. One of the greatest series ending shots happened in front of my eyes and twice it's been done by one of my favorite players in Portland.

If the trade deadline comes around and you have the means to make a run and get into the playoffs by all means get there. Anything less is just losing.

 

Harden has expressed interest in returning to Houston.

 

But Heat would’ve made playoffs if there was no play-in tourney.

 

Hawks have a chance too.

 

The 8 seed lost to the Nuggets in 5. We would’ve have done better. Wait til we see who we get in draft and then tell me you’d rather make play-in.

 

He didn't really throw a chair.

He swung a chair and then dropped it.

Pedantic, I know...

 

We aren't the Heat. They have a much much much much much much much... much better team.

And they're still probably not good enough to win the championship this year.

Would you feel the same way if you were Brooklyn? Swept by the Sixers.

How about the Wolves? Gentleman's sweep by the Nuggets.

What if we were the Clips? 4-1 series loss to the Suns.

The only series that are competitive right now are the Kings/Warriors, the Lakers/Grizz, and the Hawks/Celts. I'll be shocked if the Celtics don't close them out in the next game, but the Kings/Warriors/Lakers/Grizz are significantly better teams than us. We would have been on the same path as the Wolves, the Nets, and the Clips. And if you look at those three teams rosters, they're all more talented than us (with the exception of maybe Brooklyn and they just blew it up.)

Tanking was the right move. 10 out of 10 times.

 

agreed

and it's not like the Blazers didn't do everything Dame could to make the playoffs 8 straight years. And when they did, the result was always the same: once they faced a legitimate contender in a playoff series they got curb-stomped all 8 of those years. Portland's record in those close-out series was 1-4/1-4/1-4/0-4/0-4/0-4/1-4/2-4....that's 6-32; that's a .158 winning percentage which would equal a 13-69 record over an 82 game season. There was no real progress over the decade of olshey-ball.

 

It wasn't even necessarily running into a contender. It was running into any team that understood how to trap Dame lol.
