Also, 7 and 8 aren't 7 and 8 until 9 and 10 get beat.

Sucks for the Bulls the East is so good this year. They're the number 1 seed currently but they're also only 5 games up on the 7 seed/play-in. One bad stretch can really fuck them over.

Generally, when an awful shooter, shoots less, the team does better.

What if a good shooter decided to stop throwing up prayers?

Here's the highlight reel of Trae demolishing so called Trae stopper Ayo. Ayo looks good on skates, should try out for the Blackhawks.

And he does it on good efficiency. Best offensive player in the NBA.

At this point it appears that the only thing standing in the way of Trae becoming the only player other than Tiny Archibald to lead the league in total points and total assists is Derozan and 8 points.


Total points
Derozan = 1937 ( 7 games remaining)
Trae = 1929 (7 games remaining)
Tatum = 1923 (6 games remaining)


Total assists:
Trae 665 (7 games remaining)
Paul 646 (7 games remaining)



Pretty amazing accomplishment if he can pull it off.

_________________

I'm guessing Derozan has logged a lot more minutes and Tatum has been averaging 30+ in the last couple months.

3rd time this season

_________________

4 games between Trae and an achievement so rare only one player in league history has pulled it off, Tiny Archibald in 1973.

Only Derozan stands in his way.

One more Atlanta loss and you lose the bet Shakes. I will let you know about the avatar of my choice

yea not looking good for 6th place, but at least the team is playing well now heading into the play in.

I'm hoping they win tonight at Toronto (toughest game they ahve left) and then they move up to 7th and get home court vs Cleveland. Win that and I hope they face Boston in round 1. Hawks can beat Boston especially with Timelord out.


I might need some help placing the avatar, my computer skills being what they are.

why is shakes riding the dick of a guy leading his team to a barely above .500 record and the play-in? If you're gonna swing from a guy's nuts, at least pick a player on a successful team

sorry dude, we can't all be front runners.

I've also read a book past page 1.

big game tonight against the washington basketball team. pordingus couldn't do squat against a celtic team with no center, then scored 26 last night against KAT and minnesota. you figure that out.

i'm probably going to take the hawks tonight, the hawks at -10/-10.5. at home, the hawks beat another desperate team in the nets the other day.

you sure do gamble a lot. You might want to get that looked at.

well, i did look at it...and decided to play them with brooklyn.

I like the Marlins over 76 wins. Book it.

another day, another milestone for Trae. Joined some pretty exclusive company last night.

someone's getting warmed up for the post season. Hopefully they are around for more than the play in game(s).
