Monzanator 3,641 Posted April 4, 2023 #21 Share Posted April 4, 2023 After Lakers got rid of Westbrook they predictably got better. The Kyrie Irving experiment in Dallas is a complete dumpster fire (also predictable) and Mavericks could even miss the play-in Three games to go and they can only finish 40-42 IF they win all three... Sacramento Kings made the playoffs to snap the longest post-season drought in all US major pro leagues (since 2006). The new masters of futility are NY Jets of NFL (last playoffs in 2010).

Monzanator 3,641 Posted April 8, 2023 #22 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Mavericks will miss the playoffs. They didn't even want to compete for the play-in as Doncic played 13 mins in a must-win game vs Bulls They still needed to win their last game and count for Oklahoma loss but why bother? Kyrie Irving can and probably will leave after the season so this mini-experiment turned out to be a complete failure. Zero defense still means minimal chances for success in modern NBA, just ask the Rockets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Liu 1,620 Posted April 9, 2023 #23 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Chinese media reported that China is making effort to neutralize Kyle Anderson and he is also willing to accept the offer. Kyle Anderson has 1/8 Chinese blood heritage and that’s the reason why he’s selected by Chinese association. If everything progresses smoothly, he will play World Cup for China and the ultimate purpose is earning Olympic berth on World Cup with his participation.

owenp_23 559 Posted April 12, 2023 #24 Share Posted April 12, 2023 NBA Play-In Tournament began last night with Atlanta beating Miami and the Lakers toppling the Timberwolves to clinch the 7 seed in their respective conferences. Despite the losses, the season is not done for the Heat and Wolves. They will get one more chance to advance on Friday against the winners of today's games.

Monzanator 3,641 Posted April 27, 2023 #26 Share Posted April 27, 2023 #8 seed Miami Heat take out #1 Milwaukee Bucks 4-1 in East Round 1 It feels like Giannis needs a new team around him and maybe a new coach... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always said he will stay at Milwaukee for his entire career, so we will see. He does not have the arrogance of Lebron James to "take his talents to South Beach" for example and create a super team in a "nicer" city like Los Angeles. I mean they had a bad series against the Heat now, but they still finished the regular season as #1 in the East, it's not like they were horrible all year long or something (like the Dallas Mavericks were).

Monzanator 3,641 Posted April 29, 2023 #28 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I didn't want to imply Giannis needs to move into another team, just bring in new guys to Milwaukee. East is still relative easier than West IMO even though Heat or Celtics look legit overall. Sixers are a coin toss again. Nets have blown it up and nobody should take Knicks seriously. Obviously LeBron was frustrated during the first time with Cavs. It was just him and a bunch of goons. Even worse than some of the Allen Iverson Sixers teams.

That's one name I haven't heard in years. Probably one of the few Europeans big who were actually worse than the legend of Zan Tabak This being said Cezary Trybański aka the first Pole in NBA was even worse Makedonas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
