This man is literally describing my wife's dream home situation.

This would be great content for the poop thread....

76ers on the verge of knocking BOS to the third seed. This is quite the late season collapse. They should have never lifted the interim title from Mazzula and kept him temporary.

Team needs some hard love from a vet coach.

lol

I'm not hitting the panic button just yet, but yeesh if you watch these guys every night you would be shaking your head, too.

The regular season is really long and every team has highs and lows.

[Coach]

Oh yes, and I know it's hard to get up for certain match-ups.

I just question some of the coach's decisions (he is way to late to call timeout during another team's run) and there's always the injury concern w/ Williams. I also think that White should be playing more than Smart at this point.

[Coach]

Oh my, what a pass. Larry Bird-like.

[spike]

Hoping Milwaukee can wrap up the one seed tonight.

You are welcome - BOS really shit that away

[Monkey_Driven]

The Lakers/Clippers game tonight is absolutely huge. Go Clips.

[Bammer]

The 6th Seed vs. 7th Seed game tonight is absolutely huge. Go Clips.

FTFY

You serious?

[Monkey_Driven]

Yes, because it has major implications on who will avoid the play-in between the Warriors, Clippers, and Lakers.

[4/5]

You'd rather the Warriors potentially play the Lakers in the play-in than the Paul George-less Clippers? Or is a tiebreakers thing where a Clippers win helps the Warriors stay in the top 6?

[4/5]

Just looked at the standings, I guess you're probably not worried about the Warriors falling into the play-in.

Ideally, I want the Clippers to win 2 out of their 3 last games to secure the 5 seed and the Warriors to get the 6. A loss would drop the Lakers down to the 7 seed. It may come down to some convoluted tie-breakers.

It's a possibility, but they will likely win at least one of their last two games (against the Blazers).

Right, but would it really matter to you if the Lakers got the 5 instead? Agreed that the 6 seed is the sweet spot, but that's tough for anybody to finesse.

No, not really. It's more of a preference based on how annoying I find the hype around them to be.

I say this fully acknowledging how many share the same sentiment about the Warriors.

The real question is would you rather the Warriors get the 5 or the 7 seed?

I'd rather play the Grizzlies as a 7 seed if given the choice between those two options.

The second round matchup would theoretically be easier too, assuming the Warriors won the first series.
