  1. The Mavs will be out-matched and out-classed by their first round opponent regardless of who it is.
  2. My playoff preference is based on whichever team cannot play small ball. Geez do we struggle with that.
  3. Nobody else watching us send the Lakers to the play-in?
  4. Good 3 pt shooting in the 2nd. Let’s hit the gas and pull away here in the 3rd.
  5. We have bad Timmy in the first quarter. Need to find him some easy buckets to get him going.
  6. This is why I try to stay out of the noise and try to look at things at a macro level. This is why all these voting restriction bills are running through state legislators at an amazing pace. The writing is on the wall for the GOP and they know it. This is also why I'm not as concerned about 2024 as many. Trump running again is not going to make these splits better. In fact, it will be a bigger beat down because the base continues to dwindle. I'm starting to believe Trump isn't going to run again and the GOP will try their best with DeSantis.
  7. I'm not sure I prefer one or the other to be honest. I don't think the Clips are as good as they were last year. The only other benefit to moving up to 5th is the Lakers would be on the other side of the bracket if they end up the 7th seed.
  8. I think tonight's result in the Portland-Phoenix game will dictate the plan for the last two games. If Portland wins tonight, you just go for the win on Friday against Toronto to clinch the 6th seed and then rest everyone Sunday. I think being rested and being able to get several practices before the playoffs is the better plan. If Portland loses, do you go all-out trying to move up a spot? I'm not even sure it matters at that point unless you like the matchup against Denver better.
  9. They’re playing the Rockets. They should be able to handle them.
  10. Nice run here in the 2nd. Would like to be able to rest everyone in the 4th.
  11. We only get the 5 seed in that scenario if Portland loses twice.
  12. All signs point to us winning, which means we'll probably show up and let some guy we've never heard of go off for 40.
  13. I would say the 5th spot is looking tenuous at the moment. They have to the win one more game than Portland in the last 3 and even though Portland has tougher teams, it's likely those teams will be resting their starters. At this point, I just hope they win tonight, beat Toronto on Friday, and then rest everyone the last game.
  14. I get that, but their net rating has fallen off a cliff.
  15. Was just coming to post this. Awesome visual to see. I also had no idea LAL had been that bad.
  16. No help from the teams around us last night. Really need to at least split this back-to-back.
  17. Yep. Magic number is 3. And I think it’s 5 to clinch the 5th seed. With Denver falling to 4th, I really want that matchup.
  18. Good first half. Let's get this lead to 25 and start resting people, please.
