Steph shouldn't have any problems tomorrow. BGOL says Ja Morant is washed and worse than his teammate Desmond Bane, so this should be an easy win at home coming off a tough loss on Sunday.
 


The first big game winning shot I ever saw was MJ passing to Kerr to win a championship.

I think you have a better chance of getting a good shot from Buddy or Podz than Curry in that situation, with how they were defending him. Trusting Buddy in that situation is the whole point of having him on the team.

It was a terrible shot but I don’t think it was a bad play call.
 


I demand that the top teams make the postseason regardless of conference!!!!!!!!!!


And I demand that you actually look at the standings. If they just took the top 16 teams regardless of conference, Orlando would be the 15th seed.

We finished 41-41 instead of 42-40 because we rested our starters since the last game was meaningless.

My point wasn't that the Pistons shouldn't be in the playoffs, it was that the teams ahead of them certainly should be!

And the fact that you were able to rest your starters because the last game was meaningless speaks to the point because there are two teams within a game of you so you didn't deserve that luxury-- Y'all are lounging and passing on a winning record while you have nearly 50 win teams fighting for life!
 

Are they coming out with more Luka slander

Two years ago the Heat had to fight for their lives in the play-in even though they had the same record as the Warriors who got a playoff spot.

Sometimes being in a given conference helps, sometimes it doesn't.

That's why I'm advocating for the fairest system, with the top teams included every year!

It isn't an argument against any particular team. Just that winning the division and not having a winning record does stand out as far as the unlevel playing field. But the most important thing is who makes it and who doesn't.
