NBA Season 2021-22

Comparing Langford in any way to guys like Curry and Embiid is a new level of ridiculousness for this board.

Unless it's Joe Embiid and Dave Curry...

Just thinking injury trajectory, obviously Romeo tops out maybe a role player at this point.

But read into it what you want I guess.

Heat getting crushed by the Suns right now. Think Butler is out, but so is CP3. Oladipo is back.

4 behind Miami!

4 behind Miami!

With just 15 games left I doubt getting to 1st place is in the cards given the schedule and need to leap over 4 teams.

But I do think 2nd or 3rd place is in play if the team can go 10-5 or better.

Well they have gone 17-3 for their last 20.  Granted the schedule will be tougher, but they know how to win.

How about Timelord as a comparison?  32, 29 and 52 games played in his 1st 3 seasons with similar minutes played.

Do we really want to finish 1st or 2nd and risk getting the Nets in the 1st round?

Nice. More of these in recent years - could be because of improvements in sports science? Or maybe I haven't been a fan of the NBA for super long (since the mid-2000's).

4 would be ideal right?

I’m good with the 4 seed. Home court for the first round and then Miami. I want no part of the Nets early on.

Rockets pouring it in on the Lakers in OT

Lakers look worse than their 2018-2019 season

[SparzWizard]

I just hate that a team who is a 9th seed can still make the playoffs by winning the play-in games, even if they're like 5 games behind the 8th seed
