The Bigfooty Week 25 thread. The Lakers have made the post season!

[scaryness]

I think we're getting a 2021 finals rematch. I would pick the Bucks again I think.

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

The Dallas Mavericks could shut down Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving for the final games of the season if they completely fall out of the play-in picture.

If Dallas can’t make a 10 team cut off in a fairly even West, then both team and personnel deserve a fair clip. Yes, even Luka.

They need to tank the rest of the season and hope their first round pick drops into the top 10, otherwise it goes to the Knicks.

Play In Tournament:

West:
(7) Clippers v (8) Lakers - Clippers to take 7th seed
(9) T'Wolves v (10) Thunder - Lakers to take 8th seed

East:
(7) Heat v (8) Raptors - Heat to take 7th seed
(9) Bulls v (10) Hawks - Raptors to take 8th seed

I bet Cuban regrets letting Brunson go.

Very fitting that their final game is against San Antonio - who are so close to the worst record in the league.

Which team wants it more? The loss that is.

Personally, I'd love for Dallas to miss out on the play-in... if for nothing else, the fact that OKC will make it. SGA deserves it.

I have a feeling Cuban will do all he can possible $$$$ to get the Mavs into the Play In

Just take a look at the game v Atlanta where they received 4 FT's in the last few secs LOL

That said, if OKC beat Golden State tomorrow then I reckon it makes it almost certain.

Dallas only have 3 games left and OKC have the tiebreaker over them.

Yeah, that's why i have them finishing on a tie and OKC taking 10th

Can Philly beat Boston tomorrow? Or does the Boston domination continue?

With 1st spot locked up for Denver IF they beat Houston tomorrow, I can see us resting a few players in our last game vs the Kings (we would also be on a b2b)

Fair call

Tbf i don't rate the Kings at all so i think you will still win at home, they might also rest blokes

If they do win then they they take back 3rd place

Interesting next few games

 

[ferrisb]

Yep

NBA draft profile survey:

What kind of player are you?

Are you the type who is a threat from outside and can help with spacing?
Or the type with outrageous handles?
Or are you more of a threat in the post?

Wembanyama: Yes (Oui)

Could probably get 50 to 1 on Sac falling to the 4th seed. Go make some money!

Not sure why but i had them losing to Spurs, which they won't at home

They take 3rd by a game

 

[peternorth]

Jokic no assists in the first quarter!!

 

[peternorth]

if the Lakers somehow get over the THT led Jazz, they will be on the same win-loss as the Clips and Warriors

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

This is looking like the game from JoJo that wins him the MVP.

What can I say, even without Time Lord and Jaylen, he has been bloody incredible.

Sometimes you got to put aside your own biases and acknowledge greatness (against your own team)

Officially on board the #EmbiidVP train

Pelinka saved your season with those mid season trades.

See you in the Finals against The Celts

 

[Borough Blood]

Embiid mid range is automatic. A joy to watch.

 

[Gak Attack]

Lakers take the first 9-0 to continue that free throw form

 

[Look2Me4Guidance]

Donovan with 4 40 pieces on the bounce.

After the fiasco in Boston, the refs have done their best to help the Lakers. Assholes.

Worst officiating ever this season (not just talking about the Lakers either, seems like every team has been screwed over by the refs this season on a few occassions)

Definitely firming for MVP now.

Would enjoy a lot more if he didn't play for probably my 2nd most hated team though, but good luck to JoJo, he deserves some success!!!
