I bet he plays most of the guys for the game in San Antonio.
I hope so. 41-0 would be really cool. I guess either way a Spurs-Warriors series will be the playoff series featuring the best teams to ever meet in the playoffs, but it'd add to it if one of them were 41-0 at home and the other were 72-10.
Yeah, that would certainly add to the narrative. Man, the first round of the western conference playoffs is going to be a snooze.
Yeah, probably. The West is loaded at the very top but then falls off a cliff. The East is pretty consistently good with nobody great.

The battle for 3 through 6 in the East is insane right now.

Yeah, I'm excited to watch the Eastern first round. Didn't think I'd say that at the beginning of the year.

I love the playoff seeding jockeying that goes on at the end of the season. I also have my eye on the 6th-8th spots in the west.

Yeah, I would have liked to have him posting after that GS/Memphis game Friday night with that questionable non-call at the end of the game.

It was certainly questionable, but not the worst late game no call I've ever seen.

I know. I was just saying it in the context of it leading to the Warriors getting the record and what verb would have said about it.

Yeah, he would have been throwing a fit. Last night's perfect storm of the Bulls clinching the 9th spot and the Warriors tying the record would have been good for at least 2 or 3 solid posts.

So that selfish choking turnover machine has a lot of triple doubles this season. Definitely not a guy you want on your team, though.

Guys, if we all agree to agree that Reggie Miller is the greatest of all time, verb just might come back.

Reggie Miller is the greatest basketball player, basketball commentator, and actor of all time.

this is getting ridiculous...neither me or spike were saying he was the greatest player of all time, just in the top 3 of his era and unarguably the greatest clutch shooter of all time
And they say that a hero could save us

Tonight will be fun. Lots at stake, seeding wise, in the early games and then 73 wins/Kobe in the late games.
