Per NBA Communications - "With three days left in the regular season, no team has clinched its seed number in the top six of either conference for the 2021 NBA Playoffs. Only two teams have clinched their seed number for the State Farm NBA Play-In Tournament (No. 7 BOS in East and No. 10 SAS in West)." Going to be a fun 3 days

Well, 2020-21 Toronto Raptors now have the NBA record 10 different players score 30 points in a game. Not sure if it's crazy because a shortened season, or that they've cleared the record by 2. I'm exhausted with this Raptors season.

Wizards have the 2nd best record in the league since April 5th Their reward will be 2 win or go home games, and a series with the Sixers if they survive.

Big 3 back for the Nets Harden - 5 points in his return
Kyrie -
'If you want to ask me about that game - that's OK - I really don't care about it......'
This is after looking disgusted and depressed during the post game press conference going on one of his depressed tirades/sad rants where it looks like his soul has been sucked out of his body talking about how he's upset babies are dying, war, race and how he's more into helping humanity and that's what's important and not basketball
What a shocker and slap in the face that these reporters are doing their jobs and asking about the game.
You know - basketball.
I don't know how this poor guy continues to keep his chin up and trudge on in life. What a warrior.

Instead of him just walking Free Agency (probably to Miami) - rumors were swirling there could be a 'Sign and Trade'
At least you'd get something for him
Unless the plan is to try and re-ink him; I thought it was a foregone conclusion he was gone though and moving on
I just don't comprehend letting him walk for nothing which is why I was shocked he wasn't dealt at the deadline.....

I think he passed Oscar Robertson recently for most Triple Doubles of All-Time
He had a stat too I saw where he set a mark for most games in a row with over 15 assists
Beal kills the Sixers - as does Bertans

Knick looks like they're going to beat the Cs Need the Hawks to beat the Cavs tonight to solidify Knicks (4) Vs. Hawks (5) In Round 1 Not sure what the tiebreaker situation is between the Heat and Hawks - but if the Hawks win they solidify #5 and Heat get #6 no matter what they do tonight vs. Detroit
Want -
Bucks (3) vs. Heat (6) 1st Round would be sweet (for me) - need the Heat knocked out early and then hopefully the Bucks by the Nets

What if the Hawks lose tonight and the Heat win?
They have the same record
Hawks won that tiebreaker?
So it's all set?

Knicks clinched 4th seed. What a job by Thibodeau! Happy for them
I want to see them land a legit superstar though - packed MSG would be fun with Nets, Celtics and Sixers in the division where we're all relevant again

Knicks clinched 4th seed. What a job by Thibodeau! The Knicks are everything the Celtics SHOULD be, but aren't. It kills me to admit that, but it's the absolute truth. They play harder and care more. The Celtics have the All-Stars, the Knicks have the heart. And there are people who say that coaches don't really matter......

Wasn't long ago people were talking about him being one of the top coaches in the league
Situation where the players just stop listening to a coach and tune him out?
This happened with Ken Hitchcock on the Flyers. Legendary coach who obviously knew how to coach - players just started tuning him out and it was time for a change/new voice to be heard....

I would think his job may be in jeopardy, to me it should be. This is a team that took a big step backwards this year, got to be the most disappointing team in the NBA. I'm not sure what Danny Ainge is gonna do. I don't live there, and honestly don't really follow them enough to really gauge the temperature in the room. Personally, I think Brad Stevens has taken this team as far as he's gonna take them.

The Nets just waits for the star players to make the play. The Knicks has a lot more team work, and exciting ball passing. I attribute that style to the coach. Thibodeau's Bulls played very similar.
