@MikeVorkunov: James Dolan says players & their agents have told Knicks they want to come to NY. Says Knicks' young players won't be team centerpieces next year.
"I can tell you from what we’ve heard I think we’re going to have a successful offseason when it comes to free agents."

1) Is tampering still a thing?
2) DSJ "illness" incoming.

It was so obvious when they cleared out their longterm contracts attached to KP. All they wanted is to clear out THJ and Lee and get a couple of picks.

Smith out v. Spurs with a 'back' injury.

@wojespn: Milwaukee's Malcolm Brogdon is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks with minor plantar fascia tear in his right foot, league sources tell @malika_andrews and me.

LeBron mathematically eliminated from the playoffs... GOAT in the East, JAG in the West.

Looks terrible but in the end better than an achilles tear....bones heal back 100%

@ZachLowe_NBA: That Jeremy Lamb shot completely changed the East playoff race. Charlotte has a chance to win tie-breakers over Nets, Pistons, and Orlando. Last day of season: Heat @ Nets, Magic @ Hornets. Yowza.

Giannis is the Dirk of this upcoming generation

sefant77 · 03-29-2019, 04:14 PM

Yeah...and i think he is going to re-sign in 2021 for sure...

@espn_macmahon: Kemba Walker scored 47 points, including 22 in the final 5:04. The rest of the Hornets’ starting lineup scored 6 points in the 111-102 loss to the Jazz.

Killer instinct or ball dominant player who doesn’t trust his teammates?

@IraHeatBeat: TNT bypasses Dwyane Wade's final home game, instead will air Celtics-Wizards on Tuesday night.

sefant77 · 04-05-2019, 11:10 AM

Wade is going to be so butthurt about this.

Melonhead · 04-09-2019, 12:23 PM

I am so fucking excited about the thought of Wade missing the playoffs after his whiny ass look at me piece last week throwing shade at Dirk.

Underdog · 04-10-2019, 10:55 AM

Gary Payton, who won a ring with Miami against the Mavs in 2006, did not attend Wade’s final home game last night... He attended Dirk’s instead.

Well, having his old Sonics guys Detlef and Kemp there was a big part, i guess

I think it boils down to Dirk... The guy’s personality is just magnetic.

Loved Gary Payton. What a great player.

Melonhead · 04-10-2019, 02:09 PM

Nice to see Wade get no home treatment like Dirk did last night. That was so surreal and Ill always remember it.

From what I saw -- and admittedly, I didn't spend much time watching it -- I thought the tributes that were done for Wade looked really forced and unnatural. Especially the players. Looked like his teammates were tired of it all. Such a contrast to Dirk's last game at the AAC.

Can’t blame the teammates. It was literally an entire season of jersey swaps. It was all forced love. All about me, me, me.

mavErika · 04-10-2019, 05:21 PM

although scoreboard watching is low on my list of priorities for tonight,
there is stuff to watch for, as only two teams are locked into a certain seed in the west:

West seeds entering Wednesday night

All eight playoff spots are clinched in the West, but six seeds are still up for grabs. Here's a look at the current breakdown:

1. Golden State Warriors
2. Denver Nuggets or Houston Rockets
3. Denver Nuggets, Houston Rockets or Portland Trail Blazers
4. Portland Trail Blazers or Houston Rockets
5. Utah Jazz
6. Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs
7. Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs or LA Clippers
8. Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs or LA Clippers

more: https://www.nba.com/playoff-scenario...-19-nba-season

OKC needs to win in Milwaukee and hope Denver wins against Minny, if they want the Rockets in the first round. Still a lot of movement possible.

edit: unless Portland wins, too (vs. Kings). Then they jump to #3, provided DEN still wins.

sefant77 · 04-10-2019, 06:40 PM

Wade trying so hard and desperate to make him bigger than he is for the game.

dirt_dobber · 04-11-2019, 04:52 AM

This weekend Playoff schedule

Saturday, April 13
Brooklyn vs Philadelphia 1:30 ESPN
Orlando vs Toronto 4:00 ESPN
LA Clippers vs Golden State 7:00 ABC
San Antonio vs Denver 9:30 ESPN

Sunday, April 14
Indiana vs Boston 12:00 TNT
Oklahoma City vs Portland 2:30 ABC
Detroit vs Milwaukee 6:00 TNT
Utah vs Houston 8:30 TNT

(all times are Central Time)

Melonhead · 04-11-2019, 04:32 PM

Wild that Houston slipped to the 4 seed in a 24 hour period.

Now were almost guaranteed GS/Hou second round. One team doesnt make it to the WCF.

On the other hand, one of these four (Nugs/Spurs/Blaze/OKC) will be in the WCF.

I’m not sure which of those 4 I think makes it to the WCF. Probably Portland? I haven’t watched a lot of any of those teams, but I feel like Den lasts a star outside Jokic. OKC is trash and the Spurs just don’t seem like they have enough thisbyear.
