    I thoroughly enjoyed the beat down of the Clippers. And they pulled Luka with about 6 minutes to go. 

    Then you would of enjoyed last night's game. Clippers - Mavericks were tied at 52 at halftime & then Kyrie pretty much took over the 2nd half. He got 28 of his 30 in the 2nd half & basically put away the Clippers with ease 114-101. 

    Another year. Another Playoff dud for James Harden & Pandemic P (Paul George). I can't wait to see another Playoff dud from these 2 losers next season.

    Kawhi Leonard didn't play last night with his knee soreness & Im starting to think he is just about done. He can't seem to stay healthy at all like he did in his 1 yr in Toronto. 

    As for Cavaliers - Magic, they're going to be a Game 7 tomorrow afternoon at 1pm after the Magic won Game 6 last night. Yay. 😒

    The 2nd round in the WEST will have Mavericks - Thunder starting Tuesday Night. Timberwolves - Nuggets will start tonight. Any casual NBA fan worth a damn will seek & check out these 2 potential very entertaining series. Hopefully, nobody will listen to Mike Greenberg & ignore these 2 series while he's still pissing & moaning about Lebron, Steph, & KD currently being out of the Playoffs.

    I'm interested to see if Lillard can light it up tonight. I didn't think he'd play. 

    He light it up all right. Scoring 28 points. Sadly for him & the Bucks, they're in Cancun right now because they got their butts kicked in the 2nd half & went down to the Pacers 120-98. 

    And Pat Bev was being his usual self. He only got 6 points & showed more energy & effort in doing this than what he did on the court last night.

    Chuck reacts to Pat Bev throwing ball at Pacers Fan

    in conclusion, Doc Rivers failed again & I can't wait to see him fail again next season. 

    As for the Knicks, they won last night. Yay. 😒 The Knicks - Pacers is really going to bring some excitement. 😒 Orange & Blue Skies, Orange & Blue Skies. 😒

    BTW, Tobias Harris got 0 points last night. I don't think he did very much against the Knicks. Also, thanks to that loss, Joel Embiid is now currently the only MVP in NBA History who hasn't reached a Conference Final.

    James Harden adds another to his collection of playoff duds.

    I'm sure that he has another playoff dud in him for Game 6 or in Game 7 if the Clippers get there.

    As for the Celtics, they won last night with ease to put away the Heat. Yay. 😒

    If that game was on ESPN last night, I would of taken a nap at halftime.

     

    Is there anyway possible that the Knicks will lose to the 76ers tonight?

    How does New York blow that?  And I shouldn't have to ask that question but prior to Game 5, the series has played out in a way that wasn't something I'd bet big on

    I don't know how the Knicks choked away a 6 point lead with 28 seconds left & a 5 point lead in Overtime. But, I absolutely enjoyed it. Hopefully, we will see more of that from the Knicks in Game 6. That ending really put a smile on my face. 😁

    I know that Mike Greenberg was very sad about that ending this morning. But frankly, he can get bent & get lost.

    BTW, the Cavaliers won last night & they're up 3-2 on the Magic. Yay.

    Should Boston beat Denver, it'll be due to the better team winning, I believe.  OTOH, the opposite outcome probably is a slightly better bet.  Finally, if anyone other than Denver wins the West, it's either Boston's title to lose or it's a very good NBA Finals (especially if New York gets there.  Not sure about Indiana).

    It'll be a root for the Western Conference winner all the way in those Finals. There is no way in hell that either the Celtics or (especially) Knicks are remotely rootable. Now, I don't mind somewhat rooting for Indiana.

    As for LeBron, him & his team are going away for the season. But, LeBron is not "going away." I'm sure that ESPN is find a way to invoke him in some way in the Playoffs. Whether, if its by showing us his Social Media (which they do all the time sadly) during the rest of the Playoffs, talking about possibly leaving the Lakers (I think he's somewhat of a Free Agent this offseason), and/of that very stupid stomach-turning, migraine-inducing legacy-GOAT debate nonsense.

    Denver has a tendency to play with its food, much like GSW in its glory days. And with a team as old as the Lakers, sure, why not let them tire themselves out before getting serious?

    Hopefully they will not do that against Boston, or they will be in trouble.  That should be a series, but if they end up being lazy, the Celtics really only need to win one out West.

    I will take Denver over Boston if they meet in the Finals. I'm very certain that Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown will find a way to fall flat on their faces just like they did against those Warriors. Besides, why would anyone want to root for the Celtics over the Nuggets (or Timberwolves, Mavericks)?

    As for the Suns, does anybody really feel sad for them after they got swept & got their asses kicked by the Timberwolves? Because I sure don't. And I didn't realize till yesterday that they're really going to suck for a while. HA HA HA!!

    Phoenix Suns Offseason Guide: TRADE Kevin Durant?! The Suns’ options… | NBA on ESPN

    Kevin Durant can go enjoy rotting for those losers. I really wanted to feel "very sad" for him being involved in a very crappy & expensive team with a bleak future like the Suns. But then I get remind of his 2 NBA Titles & Finals MVP from those scummy Warriors beating the Cavaliers twice (🤬) & my sadness for his current situation with Suns instantly evaporates. He made his bed & he better lay in it. Jerk.

    BTW, it was very funny seeing the Suns going fishing last night.

    As for the Lakers, DLo actually gives a damn in Game 4. Now, we need to see if he keeps giving a damn in Game 5 tonight. I know that ESPN is really hoping for a Lakers win tonight so they can really have something to talk about tomorrow.

    Good riddance. Maybe now Lebron will finally retire and they can dump DLo because he’s just trash at this point. Zero points in a must win game and scrolling on his phone during a time out. Why did they sign him yet again? He was trash the first time around as well. 

    Here is DLo showing us how much he gives a damn last night while the Lakers are about to get swept on Saturday Night at The Crypt.

    As for LeBron, he's not going to retire. But, the Lakers would suck even more if he leaves.

    I want to say no because I strongly dislike the Lakers but is there an alternate universe where they could have been competitive or won a game against a team that wasn't Denver?

    Maybe. Thankfully, we won't have to worry about that.

    13 hours ago, Carey said:

    I hate to sound like a legitimate villain, but I think it's best that the Lakers produce self motivation in advance for their next game.  So if they win Game 4, they'd be playing for yet another meaningless banner that states, "We Found A Way To Beat Denver One Damn Time".

    That is harsh, but they already earned a meaningless banner earlier last autumn.  So while winning Game 4 and nothing else isn't the top goal, that would be their ceiling.  OR?  They still lose as is the tradition, but they cover whatever the total is since Denver will be favored, and then they can say at least they covered against the champs.

    The only self motivation the Lakers should have right now is win a game in the series to get a little of their pride & self-respect back. Even if they somehow win tomorrow night, it still wouldn't bring back much of their pride & self-respect. 

    As for tonight, hopefully the Suns will join the Lakers in being down 3-0. The less we see KD & those crummy Suns in the Playoffs, the better. 

    Besides, I'm not going to lose any sleep at all over LeBron (who I still really like) & the Lakers, and the KD (🤬) & the Suns possibly being sent home after the weekend joining Steph & those Warriors (🤣) in Cancun. I know that ESPN will sad as hell about it, but it wouldn't bother me one bit over that outcome

    Sorry for the Carolina Panthers Kip.  However, it doesn't change the fact (at least IMO) that the once respected NFC South franchise is an NFL section, or the NFL section of Hell on Earth

    Since when has the Carolina Panthers ever been a respected franchise, especially since Cam Newton was gone from there? And there is nothing respectable about the NFC South. At least, its not overhyped all the time like that wretched NFC East. 

    As for the Draft tonight, (yay 😒) it doesn't matter who the Chicago Bears draft (1 & 9 in the 1st round) tonight. They're going to find a way to mess it up like they usually do & those 2 players have absolutely no chance to turn around that piss poor NFL Franchise. 

    Speaking of piss poor NFL Franchise, sadly Jerry Jones had to open his big mouth this week about why his sucky team hasn't done anything in the offseason. Of course ESPN has to talk about it. 😒

    Philly was up by five with under a minute left, and then proceeded to give up 8 points in 27 seconds to lose and go down 0-2. Not sure how they come back from that.

    And Joel Embiid giving it his all & it was pissed away in those last 30 seconds. It probably won't go past 5 games. 

    The other bad thing about the Knicks winning in that fashion last night is seeing all the joy from those Knicks fans. 😒 Hopefully, there won't be much more joy coming to them in these Playoffs. I can't stomach them winning an NBA Title. It'll be just as bad as those Warriors recent titles.

    Lakers were up fifteen at halftime and led for 98% of the game. Jamal Murray hit the buzzer-beater and called game 😁

    That was very nice to see. BTW, the Lakers were up by 20 & threw it away, so I'm sure that the Refs caused them to do that. I know that the jackass on ESPN Morning Show (Mike Greenberg) was sad & distraught this morning because of this & the Lakers possibly getting swept. The Lakers have now lost 10 in a row to the Nuggets.

    Good news: Steph had six turnovers of the Warriors' sixteen, Klay went 0/6 from three and 0/10 from the field, Sabonis outplayed Draymond, and Sacramento won by 24. GSW is eliminated from the playoffs.

    That was definitely good news last night. Seeing those Warriors, Dub Nation, & (especially) Steph & Klay going down in a heap in the 2nd half really put a smile on face. 🤣 Its like seeing a double rainbow. It makes me very very happy. 😁

    I'm very surprised that ESPN & some people on FS1 wasn't wearing black clothing or black armbands today over their Warriors & their "Golden Boy" Steph going down & having their season ended very early. The Steph Curry Fan Club on ESPN & FS1 was very very sad today. All of that talk during the past 6 weeks about those Warriors being a threat in the Playoffs despite them being in 9-10 place throughout that time was for absolutely nothing. Also, it'll hopefully put an end to that constant hero worshipping about Steph being Steph & putting him in that very stupid GOAT conversation. 😒

    Overall, I hope that Steph slept very well last night because I sure did. "Night Night, Steph!!" "HA HA HA HA!!!" 🤣 😂 And BTW, they better pay Klay Thompson his money in the offseason. Joe Lacob can flat out get bent.

    Bad news: Lakers win by four in the last minute of the game after Zion left with a quad (?) injury. But at least they are 99% likely to get swept by the Nuggets in humiliating fashion just like last year.

    I have to give the Lakers some credit. They didn't listen to that idiot Mike Greenberg & tank the game to avoid the Denver Nuggets like he suggested them to do. The Lakers did what they're supposed to do. Win the game by any means necessary. No wonder he sucks & roots for a sad excuse of an NFL Franchise like the Jets. I know that he was also very sad about his hero Steph & those Warriors losing last night.

    As for the Lakers, maybe somehow they can at least win 2 games on the Nuggets. I'm sure that LeBron will be ready as always. I'm not sure about the other Lakers, especially Street Clothes.

    As for Pelicans - Kings, I really hope that Zion is ready to go on Friday Night. It was downright sad seeing him hurt his hamstring in a close game like that. Zion was doing very well last night with his 40 points before the injury. It was too bad that his other teammates (especially Brandon Ingram) didn't give a damn last night & give him some help in that game.

    Edit: Damn, now they're saying that he's out for Friday Nights game & possibly the 1st round if the Pelicans somehow win Friday Night. How very very sad indeed.

    As for the East Play-in, I don't know who is going to win Sixers - Heat & I'm only here for Trey Young in that absolue "meh" of a 9-10 game.

  12. The Kings had to mess it up for us wanting to have the 9-10 game between the Lakers - those Warriors with their crappy performance in the last month of the season. They can redeemed themselves tonight by doing what they didn't do in the Playoffs at home last season. Defeating those Warriors, putting an end to their season, & (even better) bringing absolute sadness to Steph & (especially) the Steph Curry Fan Club all over ESPN & FS1.

    Worst-case scenario is in play: both Lakers and GSW advancing out of the play-in ☹️

    Why is that the worst case scenario?  If you hate the Lakers and Warriors then why hope for a quick end when you can watch them get bludgeoned by OKC and Denver over the next week?

    Because we want them gone ASAP. The sooner, the better. We don't want the  Lakers & those Warriors playing next week & sadly, it might happen. I'm sure that ESPN is very happy about this. 😒 They're breathing a sigh of relief having both LeBron & their "favorite" Golden Boy Steph Curry possibly in the Playoffs. 

    Thanks to the Kings being absolute crap for the last month & the Pelicans laying down & playing dead yesterday, we didn't get that 9-10 game that I was really hyping & excited about for 2 months. Damn it!! 🤬
     

    Frankly, I can't even get remotely excited about the Pelicans - Lakers 7-8 game & the Kings - those Warriors 9-10 game. I don't even know what will be the best outcome in the 7-8 game. Lakers winning, getting the 7th seed & having to play the Nuggets, which they can't seem to beat & despite LeBron's best effort as always, I'm not sure if it going to be any different. Or they lose the 7-8 game & somehow finding a way to win the next game to get the 8th seed & basically everyone giving the Thunder next to no chance in that series.

    BTW, the Knicks got the 2nd seed in the East. Gee, how exciting indeed. 😒

  14. Well, thanks to the Kings going down to the Pelicans last night 132-125 (freaking idiots), the Kings, Lakers, & those Warriors are now tied for 8th place with 2 games left for each. It makes me sick to my stomach that either the Lakers or those Warriors might get the 8th seed & the epic 9-10 game between them that I've been hyping about for 2 months is not going to happen. The Kings have been very bad lately & their defense is absolute crap. Tonight, they play the putrid ass Suns at home & there better be a Kings victory tonight. We all know who ESPN really wants to get that 8th seed so that they can root for the other team they shill & root for to win the Play-in.

    In other NBA Play-In news, the Bulls are hosting the Hawks in the 9-10 game in the Eastern Conference. Gee, how exciting. 😒

  15. For once for a change, those Warriors didn't screw me over & bring me lots of agony like they always do to me. Those Warriors won the game last night 134-120 over the Lakers to keep alive & well that 9-10 game between them. I was very happy with that result even though there was plenty of Steph being Steph (😒 23 points with him making all 6 of 6 3 pointers). Klay Thompson (😒) also played well with his 27 points. BTW, those Warriors made 26 3 pointers last night. Yay.

    Overall, that 9-10 game between them is still in play thankfully & hopefully on Sunday Night, I'll be licking my chops in glee over this epic 9-10 game. 

    Also, LeBron got his usual 33 points & Street Clothes didn't play at all last night because of "flu like symptoms." Awwww.....

    Speaking of Play-in, hopefully, the Suns can get dragged into the 7-8 game. I will be just as happy about that if it happens.

  16. The good news is that the regular season will end in a week from now. The bad news is that right now thanks to their current 4 game win streak, the Lakers are in 8th place. 😒 That 9-10 game that I've been hyping & being very excited about for 2 months is in serious danger. The Kings & those Warriors 9-10 game is not going to bring much excitement & fun to me like the Lakers - Warriors 9-10 game will bring me. Now, there a chance that both the Lakers & those Warriors might get in the Playoffs. ESPN will be very very happy about that & I will be absolutely infuriated about that. 

    As if this season couldn't get any worse for me. First the Raptors ruined everything. Then the Jordan Poole Wizards started to suck less lately. And now, there is a good chance that both the Lakers & those Warriors might get in as 7 & 8. That will be downright horrible if that happens. 

    Since, the Lakers - those Warriors play each other one more time on Tuesday Night on TNT, I'm now forced to have to suck it up & root for those Warriors that night. 😒 Its making me violently ill just thinking of having to resort to that. 🤢 But, I really need that 9-10 game featuring the Lakers - those Warriors by any means necessary. The NBA owes me after the Raptors screwing me over big time costing us NBA Infamy Immortality.

  18. Damn, what is up with the constant big leads of 15, 20, 25, even 30 points not being safe this season?

    Last night, we have another big lead (19 with 8 1/2 minutes left in the game) thrown away. This time by Doc Rivers (not very shocking coming from him) & the Bucks. 

    The Lakers got a very impressive win last night coming back from 19 in the 4th Quarter & to win the game in 2OT, 128-124. LeBron James did not play in this game because of that ankle (nothing to see here, nothing to worry about) & the Lakers making that miracle comeback without him was downright astonishing. Street Clothes helped out with his 34 points & 23 rebounds. Austin Rivers was excellent in that game & he made that game-clinching 3 pointer in 2OT. After that, the Greek Freak missed both free-throws & that was pretty much a wrap right there. 

    Overall, the Lakers may still be in 9th place. But, last night proved that they won't go down without a fight. That makes that upcoming 9-10 game even more exciting.

  19. The Hawks were down by 30 points to the Boston Celtics tonight (68-38 with 4 minutes left in the 1st half) & the Hawks made a miracle comeback to win the game 120-118. I hope that improbable miracle comeback win from the Hawks is a sign of things to come in the Playoffs for the Celtics. 

    In even better news tonight, the Suns lost to the Spurs tonight 104-102 with Wemby not even playing in that game.

    As for the Lakers, they're still in 9th place with 11 games left in the season. They're playing another must-win game tomorrow night against the Bucks. That upcoming 9-10 game is going to be so much fun to watch. They're 3 games behind to the Suns to get to 6th place.

    Don't look now, but the Rockets have won six in a row and are only 2.5 back of GSW for that 10th spot. Even if we don't make it we can at least make the Lakers and the Warriors work for it. Lol.

    I was so looking forward to that 9-10 game between the Lakers & those Warriors that I didn't even realize till now that the Rockets are not that far behind.  Of course, I wouldn't know that from watching ESPN's NBA coverage. 

    The only bad thing about the Rockets trying to catch up to the 10th spot is that stupid ass Dillon Brooks is still around. I was hoping that he would shut the hell up for a change & go away while he's sucking for the Rockets this season. Sadly, that is not the case. 

    The complete opposite of suck like Dillon Brooks is Anthony Edwards of the Timberwolves. Here he is a few days ago with the slam dunk of the year. 

    Anthony Edwards UNREAL POSTER on John Collins 😱 DUNK OF THE YEAR?

    The only bad thing about that marvelous dunk is that it was Josh Collins on the receiving end of it & not Jordan Poole or Dillon Brooks.

  21. Last night in a preview of the 9-10 game in the Western Conference, those Warriors (sadly) beat the Lakers 128-121. Street Clothes got elbowed in the eye in the 1st Quarter & it swelled up pretty good. He left the game in the 1st Quarter & didn't return. 

    Steph was being Steph with his 31 points. Yuck..... 🤮

    Even more Yuckiness is that Kim Kardashian, Bad Bunny, & that tennis player (Djokovic) was also at the game. Like we really need their presence at the Lakers game. 😒  It would of been even more unbearable than it already is if Connor McGregor was at the game.

    The Lakers lost the game & quite possibly got screwed by the shot clock not working during parts of the 4th Quarter. Oh well, last night's games makes that upcoming 9-10 game even more intriguing. I wonder who ESPN is going to root for.

    They are just a crappy team this year so I don’t get why there should be any energy aimed at paying attention to them, unless it’s laughing at how bad they are.

    First, they can't beat the Nuggets (losing 8 straight to them). Now, they can't seem to beat the Kings (losing 7 out of 8 to them & losing all 4 games to the Kings this season). The Lakers lost to the Kings 120-107 & Street Clothes got outplayed by Sabonis. They're still in 9th place & they play those Warriors at home on Saturday Night. It'll be a great preview of that 9-10 game that were probably going to get next month. BTW, Steph might play in the game, so seeing him being a part of a (hopeful) loss on Saturday Night will make me very happy. I need some happiness right now in this NBA Season since the Pistons & Wizards both reached 10 wins status.

    The Charlotte Hornets showed us once again why they suck & are an absolute dumpster fire of an NBA Franchise by falling flat on their faces against the Jordan Poole Wizards 112-100. I shouldn't be surprised by that result since I had bad feeling about this game. But, I'm still very infuriated by the result. 

    Overall, thanks for absolutely nothing Hornets & especially the Raptors.

    Now, other than Wemby being Wemby and the Lakers & those Warriors possibly meeting in the 9-10 Play-In & hopefully, those Warriors will lose that game, there is not very much to look to look forward to in last 5 weeks of the NBA Season.
