If his oldest son has a shot at the NBA, i think he will stick around. 
First father/son in the league at the same time i think will motivate him.
Yep. Would be awesome

so tomorrow's most meaningful games:

1. denver @ minnesota - obvious.  play in game.

2. utah @ portland - winner is the 3rd seed in the west.

3. milwaukee @ philly - a philly win gives them the 3 seed and the inside track to the ECF.

4. spurs @ pelicans - playoff positioning battle.

5. memphis @ okc - russ goes for 16 rebounds and back to back triple double seasons.

 

should be a fun finale in the association. 

It's going to be interesting to see how the Mbah a Moute injury affects the advanced stages of the playoffs. His defensive versatility was exactly what the Rockets needed against a Golden State. I think the Rockets can safely get to the WCF without him, but it's those kind of things that tilt a series adversely when you're going against a superteam.

Figures. There's always a loophole... 

This loophole being, “find a vet pathetic & desperate enough to spend a whole season in the G league.”

Anyone watching this rockets / lakers game? Lakers have a guy named Ingram playing on a 10 day contract. He's 32 years old and its his first career, NBA game. Played over 380 games in development and minor leagues. Dude drilled his first three pointer. Good for him. 

I saw on IG the moment when they called him up. Awesome stuff, made my day.

With the injuries to the Warriors this season, I wouldn't be surprised if the don't make the WCF...

I'll take the Rox against the rest of the west, even my Thunder team that is at best very bipolar in nature this season...

He's said he wants to stay until his son gets to the league.

I think Tristan Thompson broke the Kardashian curse. 

Only 12 hrs away and I have zero faith anything good would happen for a Minnesota team.

I'm guessing Jamal Murray with some game winning shot or free throws

Even if Minnesota does make the playoffs, I’m not sure how getting swept in the first round is going to help their long term development.

Them, along with Milwaukee, are probably the two most disappointing teams of the 17-18 season.

Just don't look at our away losses to all of the eastern conference lottery teams

 

 

The goal is to avoid Houston but whatever. They haven't been to the playoffs since my senior year in high school

I submit Washington to the discussion

My man has been raw dogging girls on the side. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer family. I fully expect him to average 20 and 10 in the playoffs.

Watched a bit of it last night, great story and loved the Bench’s reaction when he scored. 

FYI, the Wolves-Nuggets game is now on NBAtv at 7pm cst.

yeah, that was great all around.    They were having a ball when he scored.   He got a lot of opportunities too.  Scored 19.   Even some of the Rocket players were congratulating him before and after the game

This should be TNT tonight.  Biggest game of the year for about 5 teams.

I doubt it was contemplated in the tv contacts. ESPN has a game tonight, I wonder if they even had the option.

TV contracts always amaze me.  You'd think major sports leagues would build in the ability to swap in a marquee game that wasn't on the radar a month ago.  Reminds me of when CBS was the only station to play NCAA tourney games.

Agree, but to be fair, this game wasn't a certainty until late Monday night.  NFL does it very well with the Week 17 scheduled flex game.

I doubt that a game, between the two traditional hoops hotbeds and major media markets of Minneapolis & Denver, to determine who gets swept in the first round is the biggest game of the year.  

For one team, their season ends tonight; for the other, in about 2 weeks.

Yeah but it has implications on 3 other teams.  Everyone in teh western conference is watching this game tonight.

I'm most interested in the Portland/Utah game. Don't care about either team, but I think it will end up being the most entertaining of the bunch.

Well one ends when the other begins so why not both

Its not about the gms as much as it is about the day.   TNT has Tuesday/Thursday gms.   ESPN has Wednesday/Friday gms.  Simple as that.

 

 

feels like espn could have picked it up and put it on espn2 if they wanted to.  a couple of years ago they picked up either kobe's last game or the game where the warriors went for win #73 relatively late in the process.

love the effort so far from the Wolves...Denver getting some offensive rebounds...limit those and keep feeding KAT

Westbrook with 11 boards and 12 assists at half. 1 point.

Sixers are fucking smoking hot

gonna be a ton of fun to follow in the playoffs.

Westbrook gets it with 9 minutes left in the 3rd. 

God, I fucking hate Russell Westbrook’s stupid bitchass. I hope you never win anything of consequence, you stupid, stat padding, wannabe fashion whatever the fuck you wear, moronic asshole. Go fuck yourself.

We are all shocked and stunned.

Okc game is a blowout. Philly game is blowout... really would be nice to see that denver/minny game...
