Guys think the Clippers can make a run at the three seed? It will take magic, but with GS hurting right now, maybe we can make a run at it.

Doubt it. But could happen. Clips would be 3 back in the loss column after tonight of Houston, provided they win and have a much favorable schedule to end the year than Houston does. I think Houston may have the toughest schedule in the league starting tonight while LAC off of eye test has the easiest, if not one of the easiest for sure.

If they lose tonight then it's over for the 3 seed dreams.
 
Who the hell is "PG"?

There's a guy on the pacers that used to be called that if my memory servea me right.

Black Gordon Hayward? BGH13? [emoji]129300[/emoji][emoji]129300[/emoji]
 
Kawhi's defense has gone way south this season though. Compared to his last two seasons, at least:

2014-15 defensive rating: 96
2015-16 defensive rating: 96
2016-17 defensive rating: 102

2014-15 defensive box plus/minus: 3.5
2015-16 defensive box plus/minus: 2.8
2016-17 defensive box plus/minus: 1.2

Obviously, this is because he focuses on offense way more. His current season is a testament at how amazing players like Jordan and Olajuwon were back in the day for truly dominating on both ends of the floor.

I'll admit I haven't watched much of the Spurs recently, but is "Kawhisolation" still a factor in his lower defensive rating?

OKB, who was it that was all aboard the Burke train when he came out, talking about there was no way he failed and how handsome he was :lol:

I'm thinking Buc Em but it might be someone else.
 
This is the least talented playoff team Dantoni has had.... ya'll gonna see the real end result of pringles squads come playoff time. Adding Barnes to this team was a Nice pick up also, he's gonna be valuable while KD is out.
 
I went to the Warriors Wizards game last night, it was my first time attending a Wizards game even though I been here the past four years lol. My friend and I copped thru student discount tickets that went on sale Monday, and we saved a good amount that way, although we were literally in the last row of the arena lol. The traffic on to the game was ******* TERRIBLE, we took a Lyft and was 3 blocks away for like 15 minutes, causing us to miss the first half of the first quarter, and when KD got injured. 

Got there, it was so many damn Warriors jerseys around it was despicable. Then went to Chik-fil-A in there, the damn food was $15!!! They're taxin' up in there man lol, I know to slide to the cafe next time I slide thru there. 

The game was lit, even tho we were all the way up lol. The players really are faster in person, John was gliding at times man. The Warriors shot poorly compared to what they can do, and yet the game was still close. So I'm glad this was our last time playing them this season, shame KD got hurt tho. He would've went off in the Phone Booth. Anyways, here are some pictures from the night

Lmfaooo, ****** will talk down anything man. I got the tickets thru student discount, which wouldn't allow me to see where the seats were until the day of. Normally I could get 100 level seats thru the program, but since the Dubs were in town that wasn't going to happen. So that's what I ended up with. It was still live af and the atmosphere made up for it. So no, it was better than being at home sir, especially for a first time at the arena to see the "best team in the league" play my squad.
 
Do people still use the eye test when it comes to defense or is it all plus and minus now?

Probably +/-, cause people were really on the "Curry is a very good defender" train not too long ago just cause he steps in a passing lane to recover a ball once every month
 
The people who try to eviscerate Curry's D are far worse.

He's a serviceable, average defender at PG. He's definitely not a complete turnstile like the anti-curry crowd loves to make him seem.

that's pretty much it, he's average on Defense & if you have good/great defensers on the perimeter like the W's your gonna want him expending the least energy.

Also the Cavs gotta have a record for most Lottery picks on 1 squad right?

Frye - 8th Overall
Kyrie - 1st Overall
LBJ - 1st Overall
RJ- 13th Overall
Love - 5th Overall
TT - 4th Overall
Deron Will - 3rd Overall
Derick Will - 2nd Overall

New levels of trusting the Process here :lol:
