Man Anthony Davis a beast

 

Eagles won the Super Bowl.

 

Anthony Davis in New Orleans is such a waste of Anthony Davis.

 

Win and you’re in let’s go!!!
NBA is stupid for not being able to flex games Nuggets/Wolves should absolutely be the ESPN game

 

Both teams fighting to make the playoffs is prime entertainment, I’ll turn it on tonight

go wolves

 

I want the Wolves to win just bc I think Houston will have less trouble with them. But I like Denver much better, and just the way they’ve played lately makes me feel like they deserve it more. Plus the Joker.

 

my heart will break for minny if they dont get in. even with dbags teague and jimmy

 

Butler is a dbag now?

 

Assuming Philly wins tonight, my guess is this will be Lue's plan. Play LeBron 15-20 minutes, let him get his 10+ points then sit him and other starters for the second half and bank on Philly winning out.

The only thing is, this team STILL has not played a game with a full roster, so if Hood is healthy, may not be a bad idea to use this final game as a run through with the entire team to at least try to get a game of chemistry before the playoffs and an idea of what the playoff rotation will be.

 

no

edit: to Butler

 

lol yes

they are both punks but its okay im not mad cause we got ricky.

 

I'm just glad to be in this position at the end of the season. This team will make huge strides next year if they can learn to play some defense. A healthy Millsap playing more than half the year will certainly help.

 

anyone who ever do anything to ricky rubio is my mortal enemy

 

If the Nuggets lose tomorrow, that'll be two straight seasons finishing 1 game out of the playoffs. Ouch.

That's what happened to LeBron his rookie/2nd season. Although 2nd year Cavs were tied with 8th seed, but lost tie-breaker. I remember being heartbroken.

 

Robert Williams come to Milwaukee daddi

 

This article was really fun / interesting.

 

And so, Simmons said, he's developed a routine for handling those moments.

"They ask me if I'm going, and I usually say 'No' then go for the rebound," he said. "Maybe after that they learn their lesson."

I love Ben even more.

 

The gamesmanship part of it is fascinating.

I also love when Spencer Dinwiddie says that some guys will press him and be like “no worries, I’m just doing it for the coaches.”

The whole dynamic is really intriguing.

 

Definitely. Very interesting.

 

love tyler

 

Hard to argue with that I guess

 

Has the player been collecting NBA checks for >1 league year.
Solved it

 

Heh, I mean ... these kids been getting checks for a looooong time.

Stepping on the floor to play is far more indicative of a "rookie year" — by the NBA's own rules — than getting money.
