Playoff Positioning

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Biggest choke job I've seen in years... Wow.

Clear path foul, give up a 3, turn the ball over, and allow an offensive rebound/put back dunk.

This is choking on an epic scale.
 
Should have won that Pacers game. Cavs did it to themselves

Damn it sucks that we don't have like 30 more games to make up some ground...

I was out on a date (still technically am), checked the phone to see that the Magic were about to put them away so I put away the phone. Ordered dinner, enjoyed and to top off the enjoyment, wanted to see that final score.

I went to NBA.com and saw 98-97. In the restaraunt, I yelled out, "What in the GODDAMN MOTHERFUCK?!" I checked the play-by-play and couldn't believe that choking bullshit and seethed, "Those stupid fucking choker bitches. Fucking goddamn hell." Thankfully, I have been out a few times with this girl so she knows my passion for the Cavs.

Lastly, fuck you, Orlando, you stupid fucking choker bitches. I'll be so pissed if we finish a game behind these Bulls who are playing like shit.
 
Spurs looking like they are about to lose to the Raptors.. just not getting help tonight. But like it was pointed out.. tons of basketball left this season.

Meh.. think of what it took for the Bulls to beat a terrible Orlando team and it should make you feel better. Honestly, the Bulls are not going to keep pace with the Cavs over a 30 game stretch. Nor is Washington. Toronto is our real goal and that won't be so easy to catch them IMO.

I coudnt resist but lmao, iv done that a couple times but on first dates lol, anyways wtf with the magic man they are becoming the laughing stock of the nba. First firing their coach, and now with this shitty play, thats weak but like others have mentioned this bulls team aint shit they are struggling and believe it or not i do think tim is losing the locker room at some extent.

I've BEEN that guy...
 
Dont worry peeps after the all star break, this pretenders will fold and the real beast will eat them for lunch :)
 
And now the Raps came back to beat the Spurs, who were up by 3, with 1:32 and went cold...

The end of this night turned out to be crappified.

Spurs looking like garbage on offense way too many times this year. And Tony Parker...holy hell. He's never been a great defender but right now, he's as bad defensively as it gets.

The Spurs are NINE points per 100 possessions BETTER when Parker is off the floor. They are 7 points better defensively when he's on the bench.

And Duncan. In the last 20 games, he's been a net negative in 12 of them, something you don't see from him although it was like this a lot of the time last year, even in the playoffs.

Damm they are struggling hard and with kawhi in and out of the line up that doesnt help.
 
Warriors will come out of the West. They'll probably have to play 50 playoff games to get out, but I think they have to be the pick.
Do not count out Memphis, they already beat the Warriors and just beat Atlanta Sunday.
 
I haven't run the numbers but it almost seems like 1 seeds do worse than 2nd seeds in the playoffs, perhaps because they overextend themselves in the regular season.

See us over Detroit in 2007, Miami over rest of East in 06, us losing in 09 and 10, Chicago losing in 11 and 12 (and they would've lost the latter even with a healthy Rose,) Dallas/SA/Sac losing as 1 seeds, Miami over Indiana last year, etc.
In the last 20 years it breaks down like this based off conference seedings;
11 number 1 seeds have won it all.
4 number 2 seeds have won it all.
4 number 3 seeds have won it all.
1 number 6 seed has won it all and that was Houston 20 years ago.
