If the Suns sweep the bubble and still don't make the playoffs, I feel like that's not fair lol.

I think they should have atleast made an incentive that if you go 8-0 in the bubble...you are assured of a play-in spot.

Tbf..no one probably expects any team to sweep but the Suns certainly made this a worthy expetience.

Porzingis will probably be an All-Star next season. Knicks can't ever help themselves.

Waiting to see them trade Mitchell Robinson so they can max DeRozan.

lol Melo putting in WORK down low........

Dude has gone through 2 or 3 defenders from DAL...

They've NOW dusted off Michael Kidd Gilchrist to defend him.

Look LeBron James is STILL probably the best player in the game BUT ask him to defend Melo for an ENTIRE series - in the event PORT gets LAL in the 1st round.

This isn't MIA LeBron.

Do some people around here still think Brown will end up better than Lillard?? On track to have back-to-back 50 point games

Hard to compare the two but our Brown reminds me of The Klaw.

Our winning percentage equates to 55 wins on a full 82.

He might end up that good (although Kawhi's offensive developmental leaps were really enormous), who knows. But he's definitely not the defender Kawhi was.

It was more in reference to the thread about trading Kemba + Jaylen for Dame + CJ McCollum. Some were saying in that thread that they think JB will be better than Dame. I'm not sure I agree with that - Dame will be the best Blazer ever when it's all said and done, barring a trade

I probably would if we didn't have Kemba. For me Dame is the best PG in the league (only counting those healthy - have to see how Curry comes back). Alongside Smart & Tatum he'd be unstoppable.

It's shocking sometimes. For as good as he could, and frankly should be on defence, Whiteside is such a non-factor. Always going for blocks over good defence

Doncic is approaching Larry Bird-level craftiness.

I find Dame's jersey message - 'How Many More' - borderline ironic. Seems to be not only a comment on social injustice, but also almost a question to the front office in Portland. "How many more years do I have to carry this team?"

Lillard is a bad man.

I want that LAL-Portland matchup in round one so badly, haha.  I don't think Portland defends enough to win the series, but with somebody as incendiary as Lillard, anything can happen.

If he can carry them for FOUR games against LAL I'm good.
