Fat ass? That’s what happens when you have to carry a team. Lebron looks tired too.

I said he looked tired - which wasn't wrong at that point. As for the fat comment, it's not really new when it comes to him. It's more of an joke in reference to his teenage pics and drinking a gallon of coke after practice.

Funny how this Kawhi-less Spurs team just beat Portland, Houston, and OKC.

Wrong on both accounts. Wow.
Spurs are the easiest match-up for the Warriors tbh. Unless Kawhi checks in, then I'd probably favor Spurs. But that isn't gonna happen. The talent gap is too big atm - even without Curry.

If Butler didn't get hurt they would have been easily top 5 in the West.

No excuses with all the talent that team has. Especially compared to who they were competing against tonight and some of the teams ahead of Minnesota in the West.

I only watched the 4QT and OT and it was as if neither team wanted to win. Horrible decisions after another.

That's what happens with mediocre coaching.

Nice to see Fultz finish the season with a triple double. Off the bench at that. Its been a rough year for him but could be perfect timing for him to find his groove. I'm intrigued to see how he does in the playoffs

Happy for the Wolves but can't help but wonder if the Nuggets wouldn't have been a tougher matchup for the Rockets in the 1st round. I think Houston murders Minnesota. Also think GS is going to sweep the Spurs, with or without Curry. Spurs don't scare anyone.

Really, really hoping the Sixers can come out of the East and Embiid gets healthy enough to play consistently.

Looks like another shakeup coming for the Knicks, eventually that team will figure it out.

Some playoff predictions:

Raptors over Wizards
Celtics over Bucks
76ers over Heat
Cavs over Pacers

Rockets over Timberwolves
Warriors over Spurs
Trail Blazers over Pelicans
Jazz over Thunder

Pretty crazy that in the history of the NBA, Russ is the only player to average a triple double twice.

I honestly didn't think he'd do it this year with PG & Melo in the lineup.

Vogel is a good coach is he not? Confused why Orlando fired him considering there isn't much talent to work with there. Unless the GM who inherited him last year wants someone else?

They are crazy talented, Joel, Ben, Dario and Fultz make for a great core of the team.

Bingo. He isn't the new GM's hire, so naturally they don't feel any loyalty to Vogel.

I have no worries about Vogel, though. He'll get snatched up in no time.

My hope for the Clippers offseason

1. Draft a PG and a C with their two 1st rounders. My suggestions for PG would be Young, Sexton, or SGA and at C Williams or Robinson

2. Trade DJ for whatever we can get

3. Sign a center in the offseason such as Cousins (long shot), Monroe, Noel, Nurkic

Depth chart
PG: Beverly/new PG/Teodosic/Evans
SG: Rivers/Lou/Sindarious/Wallace
SF: Gallinari/Johnson/Dekker/Williams
PF: Harris/Harrell
C: FA C/Boban/draft C

An interesting milestone happened this regular season. For the first time in NBA history more than a third of all shots attempted were 3-pointers.
