Mukhang matatalo na nga Kings, meron ng fan/s na nambabato ng chicken wings sa court eh 

Naibaba naman ng 8pts yung lamang ng Pelicans from 25pts but Zion to the rescue

[synchro_01]

Patas na standing ng warriors at lakers.

Lamang Warriors sa ranking though because they own the tie breaker.

The Kings own the tie breaker as well sa LAL.

LAL needs to end up with a better record than those two teams to move up

[synchro_01]

Eto yung version ni Zion na kinatatakutan nila when he was drafted. 

He wasn't even challenged by the bigs of SAC.  He got every shot that he wanted all night.

[VenoM_Unleashed]

Dating tumitira sa tres si Zion, lately hindi ko na nakikitang mag tres, kahit mid-range parang isang beses ko lang nakita tumira kanina. Na isip ko parang nagiging Ben Simmons na eh. Pero malakas talaga sa loob, parang si Thanos nga

yes. he plays the point sa offensive schemes nila. When he attacks the basket and sucks the defense in, he then passes the ball to their legit shooters.  Ayun they got 66 points from three kanina.  If you don't double Zion he will get the bucket or worse...an And1.

usapang MVP na.....

Luka
Joker
SGA

I think SGA will get the vote this year.  Parang may umay na sila kay Joker eh.  Normal na sa kanya yung ginagawa nya na nightly triple double.

[lithium_deuteride]

Should be Luka for me.

[synchro_01]

Should be Luka for me.

iyak ang Hawks fans pag nanalo ng MVP si Luka.

Oo nga pala...PHO as well.  They got Ayton instead of Luka.

they already robbed Joker of the MVP award last year. for me, it should be him this year but ok din ako with either Luka and SGA hehe. how about JT? they have the best record this season, yun lang it's because of the new players added to their team.

[synchro_01]

good games for tomorrow. Each game is meaningful to the teams

NOP vs GSW
PHO vs SAC

on a lesser note, we have LAL vs MEM game. 

[synchro_01]

How ironic.....

Lakers having a hard time against the Grizzlies' bench. Buti pa Celtics, pahinga na mga starters hehe

"We talking about practice?"

[synchro_01]

sana ma eliminate ang Lakers. They have no business in the playoffs if they cant beat a MEM team that fielded a bunch of bench players.

The way they are playing tonight, ma eliminate nga talaga sila nyan sa play-in.

basura na naman laro ni D'Lo. 

eto na malapit na sila matalo hahahaha

May contribution naman si D'Lo, sya tumira kay Pippen Jr kaya nde na naka balik sa game hehe

[VenoM_Unleashed]

^ hehe, hirap na hirap LAkers sa Memphis kahit 8 lang active players nila, nasundot sa mata si Pippen Jr at fouled out pa yung isa. 

Trade D'Lo na ulit, 22.2% FG ilang games na ganyan laro nya, medyo malapit na kasi play-in at playoffs

[synchro_01]

NOP is punching back. This will be a good game

It's payback time for those teams that were beaten again and again during their run to championships.  Ganun talaga sa NBA.

We're down to the last day of the regular season on Monday with several playoff positions still to be determined.

In the East, BOS is locked in as the top seed overall, while CHI and ATL will be battling in the 9/10 play-in game. The rest of the EC playoff picture is still unclear. MIL has an inside track on the second seed and holds the tiebreaker over NYK if they both win their final game (vs ORL & CHI). However, if NYK wins and MIL loses (likely scenario: road game with Giannis out and Lillard probably out), then NYK 2 and MIL drops to 4, with CLE moving up to 3. CLE goes all the way up to 2 if all three teams end up tied (i.e., MIL & NYK both lose, and CLE wins), with MIL 3 and NYK 4.

ORL, IND and PHI currently have the same record, with ORL owning the tiebreaker. Likely for all three to win their final games (vs MIL, ATL & BKN), in which case ORL 5, IND 6, PHI 7. MIA is likely to settle for 8th.
 
In the West, only the 4th (LAC) and 5th (DAL) seeds are locked in. Assuming OKC, MIN and DEN win their final games, they will be seeded in that order for the WC playoffs. OKC will face DAL at home with Luka & Kyrie confirmed to be sitting that game out, so the Thunder are expected to win this. Costly loss for DEN earlier against SAS, but they should take care of business against MEM. MIN will face a tougher opponent in PHX, which also has a lot to play for. Assuming OKC & DEN win, but MIN loses, then OKC 1, DEN 2, and MIN 3.

The rest of the WC playoff contenders in the bottom half are also going to play important games on Monday. NOP needs to win over LAL to lock in the 6th seed and avoid the play-in. But if they lose and end up tied with PHX (if it beats MIN), it's PHX which gets the 6th seed. PHX will be seeded no worse than 7.

The Lakers got lucky earlier not only with the escape win over MEM, but also with NOP and PHX winning on the road vs GSW and SAC. If the Lakers win their final game vs. NOP, they will be the 8th seed for the play-in. If the Lakers lose, they can drop to as low as 10th. GSW & SAC are expected to beat their final opponents (UTA & POR) and own the tiebreaker over the Lakers, so the Lakers can't afford to lose and end up with the same final W-L record as GSW & SAC.

The Spurs just derailed the plans of DEN in finishing at the #1 seed  in the West.  That loss awhile back relegated them to #3 with OKC and MIN owning the tie breaker over DEN.

This will be a good match for round 1:  DAL vs LAC.

[at_sunset_blvd]

Tatang wild card! don't count him out, baka abot pa ng third round yan if makapasok sa playoffs 

[synchro_01]

Will the Luka-Kyrie tandem prevail against the Kawhi-PG13-Harden-Westbrook Super star bandwagon?

Feeling ko kaya ni Luka and Kyrie.  Big handicap if Kawhi doesn't play due to injury.

[lithium_deuteride]

I know that Denver and Boston are the prohibitive favorites to win their respective conferences but I’m rooting for the Mavs and the Knicks to come out on top!

My mind though tells me that Denver will win it all again.  I still can’t trust Tatum and crew on big moments yet.

[stevesonk]

Sa upcoming rookie draft, my eyes stuck at matas buzelis.. a 6'10 small forward who handles like a point guard, mukhang future star sya, kumpleto galaw loob at labas, sana sya ma draft ng detroit..

[thebat]

I believe this is already the time of Tatum and his Boston Celtics power crew to win it all. And if they win it, this could also be the start of a new Celtics dynasty (wish ko lang).

Well sana nga.....with the money that they are paying for Tatum, Brown, Holiday and soon Porzingis....its as if the core already won 3 championships sa taas ng sweldo nila.
