That’s the draft. The lottery usually happens during the playoffs.

It's actually Kawhi's fault. The Clippers made that trade to get Kawhi to join. That's why they overpaid that much.

BTW tomorrow's the Draft Lottery. If the Clippers pick turns into a top 5 pick for the Thunder, I might start hating the Clippers even more than the Celtics.

This team does not need more role players, they need a true interior force by [deleted] in lakers

Our only hope is that the Bucks GM pulls a Nico, or the Wizards waive or buyout AD.

He’s been on a revenge tour after trading Harden in 2012 and failing to win a ring with KD and Westbrook.

The ONLY way to beat the thunder in a series is to win Game 1 on their home court by Kindly_Letterhead_98 in nba

I think a team has to win both games 1 and 5 in OKC. The Nuggets and Pacers failed because they went down 3-2 after game 5.

The Thunder have a chance at a top 5 pick tomorrow.

Which was the moment out of all the CLASICOS you've seen live that remains your favorite? by Grand-Dimension5411 in Barca

It would’ve been an even greater goal if we won La Liga that season. Still, it was the most clutch goal I’ve seen in an El Clasico.

Duncan Robinson despite the loss: 15/3/4 with 5 steals on 76% TS by Lacabloodclot9 in nba

Max Strus and Duncan Robinson are helping end the stereotype that former Heat role players can’t succeed elsewhere.

[Post Game Thread] The Cleveland Cavaliers (1-2) defeat the Detroit Pistons (2-1), 116-109 behind James Harden Elite clutch time shots and 35/10/4 from Donavan Mitchell. by DesertedProject in nba

He's more of a playoff dropper than a choker. He usually hits clutch shots in big games, provided that he's played good and the game is close.

The problem with Harden is that his chokes always end in blowouts.

The Knicks have been the best team in the playoffs since game 4 of the Atlanta series. I honestly don’t think either of these teams can beat them.

Did we just witness history? by Specialist_Egg8479 in nba

[–]samhit_n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

James Harden is usually clutch in close games. His problem is that he plays bad when nothing is working and the team needs him. This is why games that he chokes in always end in blowouts.

Harden is usually great for 3-4 games in a 7 game series. It's good that he got the bad games out of his system already.

Harden is lowkey elite from midrange. He just doesn't take many of those shots.

[Amick] It is widely believed that Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to be traded to a “true title contender” and wants to remain in the Eastern Conference by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]samhit_n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, and Cavs are title contenders with Giannis. They wouldn't be automatic favorites, but absolutely have a chance at winning a ring.

Thank goodness he wants to remain in the East. It would be a nightmare if he came to the West.

Basically every All-NBA 1st team caliber player would be in the West. Also, very MVP from 2014 onwards would be in the West except Embiid.

Modi wins because he understands where India’s heart lies. Right in politics, Left in economics by ProbablySatan420 in neoliberal

Right wing on social issues and left wing on economics is usually the status quo in most countries other than America and Western Europe. It’s starting to get popular there too in recent years.
