4. "Julius Randle still has a low BB IQ" In response to Reply # 0 Wed May-12-21 12:20 AM by allStah
Good lord he focked up that game. Knicks was rolling going through Rose. Thibs pushes the offense through Randle in the second half, and dude kept putting up trash after trash. That allowed the game to go into OT, where he committed a costly TO by traveling.
Randle went 11/26.....Rose was 27/7/6 ,3 steals ...made a great steal towards the end of OT, for the Knicks to close the show ...and that’s when Randle traveled. Lakers hit a big shot after that.
Randle has improved this year, but the stupid ISOs, taking tough shots, just trying to do too much.

gotta give the ball to the very clutch point guard who can create his own against any defender (not talking about barret here). a 6'10 guy trying to bulldoze his way to a game winner generally ends in failure.
but i did see rose back off and let randle do his thing (or lack thereof). i expect derrick to be a bit more assertive from here on out.

hoping they would finish the job with the Pacers. Denver took care of Charlotte. The 8th spot is still within reach, for the Wiz…but it’s getting late, early (c)SVP

8. "Loving how the Warriors are closing things out so far" In response to Reply # 0
Beat the top 2 teams in the West on back-to-back nights, while fielding only eight players. And last night Steph didn't have his stroke at all.
Interested in seeing how this all plays out. Had hopes for sneaking into the 7th seed, but that seems doubtful as the Lakers have a pretty winnable schedule the rest of the way out (as do the Warriors). Hell, the Blazers might end up falling to #7.
Should things go well in the play-in games, I'm hoping we can mix it up with the Suns and Jazz and push them a bit. Give the young players some confidence moving forward.

41. "It's about as interesting as it usually is. Maybe even less so" In response to Reply # 33
For example, the Warriors and the Grizzlies play today for who gets the eighth seed. In previously years, it's the difference between play-offs and no play-offs. This year, the Warriors win... and instead the Grizzlies get to play again. That pretty much lowers the stakes and the impact of the last game.
Then the play-in games are b.s. I'm sure ESPN is creaming themselves over Lakers/Warriors, but why should the Warriors have a shot at getting the 7th seed over a team that finished 3 games ahead of them? And if the Lakers were to lose that game, they'd have a chance to lose their play-off spot to a team that finished 4 or even 9 games worse than them.
The eight team per conference thing worked in the past, and would have turned out just fine this year too. As said above, play-in games are for the NCAA. As a make sure fewer at-large teams make the Tourney. Leave the NBA where it is.

But imma stick with my original point fam: we need him to take those shots.
Yesterday it was clearly the difference maker as rhe Grizz were tough and came bAck on us. Iont watch them that often but Dillon Brooks is a two way junkyard dawg. Sigh of relief there when he fouled out earlier than expected.

They were up 11 when I checked and I said to myself:
“I wonder how much they end up losing by”
they went from a 7 to a 10.
Had the nerve to have promos for home tickets all week too. smh.
