The Official 2024/5 NBA Week 10-12 Thread incl. Christmas Day

Well it seems to be the only thing they care about? It is that or just accept the games going to suck. They need an incentive to try or we will just keep copping that crap.

I'm happy to just have a week off

Like the americans wanting $$$ to play in the ryder cup.

Not sure I like that, imagine the Celtics for example go on to win 65 games and don’t have home court and the thunder do who win 55 for example just because of an All star game.

Win the All Star game then, you will have players in it. Prepare and make sure your conference wins

Call was terrible. Particularly 3 seconds after someone jumps on Payton's back.

Not blaming it for the loss btw, our play down the stretch was horrendous.

Come on now, if we want to talk about seconds then let’s talk about how long it took Podziemski to inbound the ball…

Are you talking about a call that didn't end up impacting the game?

Anyway, take the good call. NBA calls are swings and roundabouts. Some times it works for you, some times it doesn't.

But maybe that's actually the reason why, reward for the stronger conference. Over the last couple of decades often there's inflated records for the top East teams because they feast on a shitty conference while the West often goes 10 or 11 decent teams deep. The top team then normally get round one off because they're playing a team that has a losing record. They then get home court against the West team who has played a lot more games against better teams and had a fight since round one in the playoffs. The argument is often that this is unfair.

I don't remember a lot of times where the Eastern Team got home court in the Finals where it wasn't deserved.
.
Maybe Toronto v Warriors. Only one I could quickly see in the last 10 years.

One might argue that whoever gets finals home court deserves it

Hartebstein vs Wagner. German on german

Wiggins can’t win with these cats

 

[peternorth]

Pistons on a 7-0 run.....or is it 10?

anyway, jazz up by 8 with 1.26 to go.


meanwhile chicago doing all they can to lose

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Cant believe they want to start Schroder and Curry together. Doncic will score 80 pts if they verse them

 

[peternorth]

Randle is starting strong against his former team

 

[srobbo]

Nice work Boston dropping that one at home. **** me.

 

[peternorth]

Let that sink in

 

[hamG]

Starting Looney with Draymond amounts to basically tanking unless you have Curry with an off the chart scoville rating.

 

[Nicho50]

Randle playing well V us was always on the cards.

 

[hamG]

Oh no, Trae is usually really clutch in late free throws. Mini disaster.

 

[Nicho50]

Towns and the Knicks are ragdolling the Timberwolves now. My god what as happened to Divo he was great for us off last year always provided a spark..

 

[Satan]

Steph curry worse game ever? Is he sick?

Checked out? I wouldn't be shocked if he left and went elsewhere soon.

 

[NSWCROW]

Denver, What the **** campaigner ?

We are horrible but this chick ref is f****** atrocious
