Count how many posts I’ve made about Steph that were unrelated to the conversation. You comparing me to someone like drob shows you’re out of touch and based on your activity you’re not even involved on the forum to have that opinion. I must have hurt your feelings one time. Drob is a big boy, he can defend himself.

Dude was talking to himself for 2 weeks straight

Edit. This was the 21/22 Lakers thread FYI. And there's way more. Talk about unhinged.

the question is, why would drobfan8 put a reasonable poster on ignore? This only tells us about drob's hyper-trigger-happy criteria for ignoring posters

the least he could do is provide a link to the original thread, for context, as opposed to looking like someone trying to smear someone else. Not a good look, and not caring about such a bad look is also a bad look

Amongst the NBA news today - "Iverson statue unveiled at Sixers practice facility." Kinda ironic in that I remember Iverson wasn't a big practice guy, intentionally did not go to practices saying he didn't need them.

It's the wild last day of the season.

How do you figure?

OKC win they get the 1 spot. Or does Minny get it if Denver lose and Minny and OKC are tied?

Edit. Minny would get it due to conference record.

OKC aren't losing to Dallas' bench.

[ninjabum87]

Esepcially cause if I'm the Mavs I'd much rather play OKC than Denver in the second round. I'm gifting OKC a win if possible.

[ninjabum87]

Prolly Mavs v Nugs if I was a betting man for WCF.

If OKC wins, MIN wins and DEN wins ... OKC gets #1 spot.
If OKC wins, MIN wins and DEN loses ... MIN gets #1 spot.

OKC only has the tiebreaker in a 3-way tie. MIN has the tiebreaker in a 2-way tie. Thus it's Denver that decides the #1 should both OKC and MIN have the same record at the end of the season.

Lots of rediculousness going on here.

Wasn't intentional, he'd just be out late partying and then late to morning practice. And I'm sure he missed a few too.

All the 76ers statues: Wilt, Erving, etc are at the practice facility.

Sixers are 31-7 with Embiid and Maxey playing, should be 32-7 after beating up on the Nets today. Can't imagine whatever top 4 team draws them will be remotely happy about it.

Can't wait for Boston to beat up on Philly in the playoffs again. Time is a flat circle.

front-running fan, nowhere to be found when embiid was out

the internet-was-down excuse obviously won't cut it

I really don't get why Atlanta is playing hard, yeah Trae has the diss tracks on repeat, but they gonna be tired injured for the play-in game in Chicago in two days as a result. And another play-in right after, if they make it. Even if Indy loses they have three more chances to make play offs.

myles playing out of his mind.

go Bucks! really like to see Knicks take 3rd and Indy take their fancy footwork to Madison Square Garden.

[Nomad]

So I guess its down to the Knicks-Bulls game, from a pacers perspective. The way Cavs lost that game they definitely didn't want to wind up facing Indy (last game was a dog fight). I don't think Knicks do either, so they will be gunning to win and kick Bucks (assuming they lose) down to third. Which is supposedly the softest opponent.

But it currently seems likely (8 minutes left, Chicago 92-86, DeRozan in), that we will see a Pacers-Knicks first round. Prime time.

Cavs vs Magic Rd 1.

Clown comment.....

Cavs would have wound up risking being in the 2 seed playing Philly/Miami.

Nobody worries about Indy.

[Nomad]

Did you watch last game? That was one of the hardest fought games. Despite benching Nesmith early for a single foul and falling back 15, Pacers clawed back to within 2 in last minute, putting a hurt.

Can't even remember the last time Miami or Philly have posed a serious threat to Indy.

Dang, down to overtime of last game to decide a critical matchup. And its only on ESPN and actual TVs. Guess I'll watch the Play-by-Play feed. Good job NBA.

Thank God that Doris doesn't have a vote for the All-NBA teams. She is insufferable.

LeBron is having his best season since the bubble

[rustywest]

Unfortunately, I like this Lakers team

[rustywest]

D LO was the Lakers gamble at the deadline. If he can be the x factor instead of crapping the bed come playoff

[rustywest]

Rui and Reaves, my 2 favorite Lakers with the connection. AD 3rd

[rustywest]

LeBron is playing no where near as selfishly in 24 as he did with Westbrook
