i personally could care less about the pelicans. they just do nothing for me as a fan for some reason. Thunder are an exciting team to wtch led by durant and westbrook. Granted durant is out for the season, but it doesn't matter they are a big time team and the way westbrook has put them on his back has been amazing. I'd like to see russel get a chance to do that in the playoffs.
If Spurs win they clinch #2 seed. They have head to head tiebreaker over Houston. As the Division winner (if they win last game) that would give them the tiebreaker over the clippers.
If they lose and the rockets win, grizz win, and clips lose. Rockets would win division, Memphis has conference record tie breaker over Spurs, clips have conference record tie breaker. Spurs would be #6. Crazy!!!
Everyone... and I mean everyone should be doing a ML 2 teamer... or adding these 2 plays to your parlay...
Wednesday....
OKC ML
San Antonio ML
OKC will favored by at least 10 vs the T-wolves. That ML may be -800 or more, no value. Plus as a Pellies fan, NBA would rather see NO in the playoffs than half of the teams in the East who are sh*tty
Money Shot, I was actually thinking of the same thing. The minute they reversed that technical, I knew the fix was in. Anthony Davis is a gigantic star on the horizon, but Russell Westbrook will bring much better ratings against Golden State. Pelicans are screwed.
OKC is a one man show right now. Does the NBA just want to see RW throw up 45 shots a game and get swept by GS?
The Pelicans have scorers to go along with AD, they can play with anybody.
The one man show though is one of the most popular guys in the game right now. Your normal ham and egger basketball fan has probably heard Russell Westbrook in the news more in the last week than they have heard news on the Pelicans since they changed their name.
I lost all respect for Tim Legler today listening to him say OKC would be the tougher out between them and the Pelicans. Love me some Westbrook but Pelicans are by far the better team. Complete nonsense smh..
