Warriors control their own destiny
after Memphis loss.

Behind Cade Cunningham's 36 pts, Detroit beats
the Knicks, 115-106. Pistons win season series
3-1 in a potential 1st round matchup.

Mavs were tied to Malik Beasley in the past. Was that this offseason or a prior offseason. He signed for 6 million. Made 305 threes for the year. In retrospect, signing him and maybe still signing Grimes may have been the better option than signing Klay for three years.

He was a great signing for Detroit at 6 million. I'm sure they'll re-structure his deal in the off season.

He'll be a UFA, free to sign with anyone. DET has no Bird Rights, so has no real advantage other than being the team where he had some success.

The 6M was actually a sizable raise, as he was paid about minimum prior to that.

Thanks for the heads-up.

the scenarios on Sunday

Thanks for sharing.  I would be fine with any outcome besides Memphis in the top 6.  It looks like that can’t happen.  I want them to get 8, if they win it.  They need to be pick work by OKc.  The rest of the series should be fun.  Houston and Minny would be a fun watch.

Well I would have preferred warriors cs lakers in round 1, but lakers and Minny will work. Get to see another Gobert sacrifice. Ha ha.

Hopefully Warriors take care of business in playin because them cs Houston after latest trash talking will be tasty. I don’t think Denver gets out of round 1.

I think I will be pulling for golden state and Cleveland as my teams. Knowing how my year went in sports, I expect both to lose in the first round.

Lastly, I just hope for limited injuries in these playoffs. Last year was too many injuries and made most of the series boring.

I'm rooting for the Lakers and Knicks for obvious reasons 
the Lakers couldn't have asked for a better track to the WCF. Gonna take an injury or a chokejob not to get there

[omahen]

I am also satisfied with playoff seeding for the Lakers. But, none of the series will be easy.

[F Gump]

Lakers suck. Always have, always will. Hope they get swept.

Luka's 77 Laker jersey is NBA's best seller.

Visiting family in Asia only to find out their 11 year old son is a big basketball fan now. And then to find out his favorite team is the Lakers. Ugh. Can’t get away from it

The clock is ticking on the Jokic situation in Denver.

The clock is ticking on the Jokic situation in Denver.

OKC grabbing him would be the most terrifying scenario. With all the defense and shooting around him that could be a mini dynasty

[FireNicoHarrison]

Knecht+Hayes+FRP for Jokic. Book It.

[Haynes] "League sources told me that earlier in the season, Coach Budenholzer met with Bradley Beal and he told Bradley Beal that he wanted him to be the Jrue Holiday of the team. And to tell a player of Bradley Beal's caliber that... it wasn't well received"

Agree, Jrue Holiday is 10X the player that Beal is.

Jrue is a true winner and a leader, Beal is a empty stats loser.
