2017-2018 NBA Season Thread [Archived] Basketball • Page 505

From an NBA fan standpoint, I'm happy with either team winning. From a location standpoint, I want the Nuggets to win because I want to see some playoff action in person and Nuggets tickets are pretty cheap.

 

bucks keep the pick as long as the 6 seed stays green

 

May the best Nuggets team win

 

Don’t really care who wins, both teams are young and fun. Just hoping for a good game.

 

I can't decide if I want the Nuggets to win and protect the Kings from owning the longest playoff drought, or the Wolves to win so we can finally be #1 in something

 

I see what you did there

 

Honestly don’t care who wins though, prefer the wolves obviously, but the nugs are a good alternative.

 

i want wolves to win so ricky can knock them out of the playoffs

 

7th seed here we come!

 

Shit. That’s where I’d wanna be

 

Agreed - I hope the bucks lose tonight

 

Philly will beat us in the first round - at least against Boston we can push it to 7 games

 

George hill we need this d in the playoffs please

 

I think the Bucks beat Boston. Probably in 6/7.

Philly depends on what Embiid is doing

 

I think anyone *wanting* to play the Celtics is getting a little ahead of themselves. Remember Brad Stevens?? Remember the team he took to the conference finals last year, with a broken IT? I get it, but ehhhhhhhh

 

Lol

 

Bucks really should have rested Giannis Khris and Bledsoe tonight

 

Lol I love Atlanta’s social team

 

Lol Bucks fully healthy for the first time all season and naturally are getting their asses kicked lol

 

Whew we match up terrible with Philadelphia - they are heads and shoulders better than the Bucks - thank god we don’t have to face them in the first round that would be a quick five games

 

League Pass needs to stop using Flash. Bastards.

 

Tyronn Lue

Tyronn Lue said he spoke to LeBron James about resting, but acquiesced to his desire to play in all 82 games for the first time in his 15-year career. "I mean, it’s hard to play 82 games. I was in the league 11 years. Never had a chance to get to 82. Everything has to go absolutely right. He wants to play and I guess in his 15th year to get to 82, it really says a lot," Lue said. "It says a lot about him." That said, Lue plans to cut James' night short once he extends his all-time record streak of 872 games straight with 10 points or more. "Once he gets his 10 points, don’t be surprised if I yank him out," Lue said. "He might get mad but I don’t care. I don’t care." James also needs five rebounds to average 8.7 rebounds for the season, which would be a career high. And, the Cavs can clinch the No. 3 seed with a win, plus a Philadelphia loss to Milwaukee. Still, Lue wants to limit James. "Bron’s health is more important than anything," Lue said. "If he was to tweak an ankle or anything, then we could be in some trouble. So, we’re going to play to win still. It’s just we’re going to play to win without LeBron. ... Since I’ve been here, we always preach health over positioning and we got to go from there."

He's at 8 right now. I bet they sit him soon after. Haha.

 

Just bench Giannis the rest of the game it isn’t worth it this game is meaningless

 

Lol this team is fucking terrible
