That was a monster performance from Damian Lillard to keep blazers playoffs hopes alive! 61 points! Great 3s, Flawfless free throws.... Not to under value his teammates efforts and performance, but he literally carried them today, imho

Nobody's getting eliminated yet. The battle for 8th turned out to be more intense than what I was expecting Grin

Crazy stuff! I still strongly believe it's going to be Blazers or Suns, I'd rather have the former, though but Suns are just super hot, the best team post covid19-break!

Blazers and spurs still fighting for the 8 place to get the into the play offs. Yes, it could be more interesting but when you will going to compare the players then pretty sure there could be some changes in the options. My bet to rank into 8th place between blazers, grizzlies, suns and spurs then pretty sure my chose will goes to blazers. I am a big fan of Carmelo Anthony with his talent and skills in playing basketball that he could carry the team. And there are other good players too in blazers too like Lillard and Brown.

Blazers with a close win, 134-131 and Dame was on fire, as he drops a 61 point performance and gets the last spot.

He and Wilt are the only two players with 60+ point games in the same season.

Still flawless, suns won again.. the streak is still alive as they continue to climbed, they beat the Sixers at a score of 130-117.

Booker led the team again with 35 points, this is insane, they'll make history in the bubble as this only happened once. Grin

Tied with the Blazers now, https://www.espn.com/nba/standings

if Blazers will lose, they might have better chance than the Blazers.

Keldon Johnson is just having his best game ever probably, Spurs are definitely winning this one up, lets see what the other teams will end up doing, tonight is one of the best nights to watch NBA in a very long time, we are talking about 4 teams even 5 teams fighting for 2 spots, and 8th seed is even more important because if you win just one you go to playoffs, if you are 9th you need to win 2 in a row.

Suns and Sixers is about to start, and I think that could be end of Suns chances as well, they have come thus far incredibly and nobody gave them any chance at all but at this point I think it is quite possible for them to just end the streak right here. However I should remind that Embiid might be out, so that means the best player is gone and Suns could still continue to strike.

All in all there is a HUGE chance that 8th and 9th will be decided on the very last game of the season.

^ Well, all four teams will end up playing once again today, which will make things change a ton in the next 10 hours or so (or whenever all 4 games ends). Spurs playing rockets, suns playing sixers, grizzlies playing celtics and portland playing mavs, all four teams have a chance to be in the playoffs right now, it is super exciting to watch however if you tell me that all four teams will lose today I would totally believe you.

Not that it will happen, I am sure at least one of them will end up winning, however it really looks like all four are facing teams that are better than them, closest one looks like blazers versus mavs, but even they have a difference. I don't know how "fun" it will be, but it will be interesting for sure. And I call an end to Suns streak, sixers will probably get this game.

Back to my crazy opinion. Suns will be playing against OKC.
Melo and CP3 are good friends right? Really close.
Do you think CP3 will do everything to stop this Suns from getting another win?
I mean, that could mean a lot for Melo right?

OKC doing everything to lose, haha.. Suns won by 20+ points. You have a point man but I think even without that friendship, their job is to win, but they lose in this game, which makes the race more interesting.

Hahaha. Well, now my craziness is over.
That was just yesterday.
Luckily, Suns will never meet Lebron in this whole 8 games. I hope you know what I mean and it connects with my craziness again.

Suns and Blazers might have the difficulty to win this game this time.
Blazers against Dallas and 76ers against Suns.
But both those teams are already secured. Could they just let the two win this game? Huh

OKC was once a great team with KD, westbrook.and harden but they are persistent in getting titles that resulted to part ways and join other teams that has high potentials in getting championship titles. KD has already won championship but Harden and Westbrook still playing for it. If ever they get the chance to team up again in OKC high chances that they can win a championship game that if the three guys are in good shape.

It will be difficult to achieve by now.
They part ways. They now have new teams on their own.
I bet OKC fans will also hate WB now, just like what they did with KD even though it should be their own decision of whatever team they will choose.
Since they are stars, a lot of offer will come in.

Maybe this is also the best chance of Harden and WB to get a championship.
Harden is in high amount of focus now. I think the WB addition gave a large boost for them.

Suns continue to played solid and the quest to the next round still open for them, there's no friendship that can stop Suns to win and it shows from the result after this game, Booker solid game has been backed up by his entire squad, they are really collaborating and the blends of each players are very nice to watch.

Article was made April 15, 2020. After lockdown before NBA restart.
I don't know if something change the mind of those names who voted for them.
PS: I can only cut thru that part. Use the link for the full list.

With this results coming from staff (former NBA players) we are seeing a glimpse of who might be winning the award. Remember that NBA awards are voted by a panel of sports writers and analyst and not all of them have played in the NBA so showing these kind of picks coming from staff of people working in the in the NBA media industry. And judging on where it stands I think Giannis is the one the media is favoring to win the MVP however all of this will change during the playoffs and if Giannis fails to perform I think they might shift their heads towards Lebron.

They are great but their coaching staff didn't facilitate them well as they didn't succeed when those 3 big names mentioned are in one team. But for now westbrook and harden in new team seems promising as they can possibly get the champ if they will help each other and they will let the ball rotate on their teammates.

But I don't think those 3 will join in 1 team since provably their salary cap will be a burden for that matters, but things will change if one of them will give way and accept a lower compensation.

There is an intriguing part here. (After I read stadus bet for the Suns, that bulb of idea popped out of my head)
It's a bad one and just my own opinion, okay? You can call me crazy afterwards but for now hear me out.
Blazers is at 33 wins with 2 more games.
Suns is at 31 win with 3 more game.
If you look at it, its actually unfair. Suns is at perfect wins when we just count the restart of the season. Blazers already loss 2 games.
There is also a bad calculations with the games played.

Blazers 33-39 +2 more games = 74
Suns 31-39 +3 more games = 73 (correct me if I am wrong)

That extra game by Blazers will probably help them clinch that last playoff spot if they win their 2 remaining games. It does look unfair but the teams also agreed to the current format so Suns and Spurs (71) can't do anything else but try to win all their games and hope for the best.

Every team is looking for their own interest so it doesn't matter I guess. Suns will always go all out to win regardless if CP3 and the rest of OKC will try their best to stop them. That's the way it should be - competitive.

Unfortunately things look not really that well for Spurs and their streak. Right now, they are half a game behind Portland and Spurs will be playing against the rockets which I think will not be that easy for them, they have to win that game no matter what and I think they will not be capable of winning it.

The ball is round and anything can happen. Who knows what kind of Harden will show up in their match.

I personally don't like the current Spurs team. I prefer the Suns to go through because of their perfect record so far but I don't think they'll have a chance against Lakers. If there's any team that will give them headache, it will be Dame's Blazers.

However let's assume that Spurs will win that game with some luck somehow and that still leaves Portland to lose against Mavericks as well, which I know that Mavs are looking like the better team but it is certainly not as big of a gap as Spurs versus Rockets, so there is a chance Portland could win. In order for Spurs to go to playoffs and that is with 9th seed, spurs needs to beat Rockets while Portland losing to Mavs which I do not see happening at all.

Who holds the longest playoff streak by the way?

For a team it was Spurs with 22 playoff streaks, hope they'll make history and a miracle to claim they have the longest for 23 and for the active player it was JJ Redick tied with LeBron at 13th streak but ended as well this year, LeBron was the last year.

Quote

John Stockton and Karl Malone hold the longest all-time playoff streaks at 19 years with the Utah Jazz. Tony Parker has the third-longest at 17 years, a streak that was broken last year with the Charlotte Hornets, which helped Redick claim the longest active streak.

This stat was from the last year but I think we've got Kyle Korver with 12 then turns 13 this year because Bucks undoubtedly clinched that playoff spot. The article was from Parker but you can glance there the stats. James Harden was next to ranking to have 10 streaks. See below:

Zion can't do it all after all. He did well but getting eliminated early probably does more good than harm to him as he can start shredding those extra pounds before next season starts. He needs it.

JJ Redick's 13 year playoff streak has ended too. Not that important but it's still impressive. I remember Zion telling the press before the season that JJ told him not to mess up his streak Grin

Who holds the longest playoff streak by the way?

This will be the 14th consecutive season that Kings missed the playoff. It's a long time rebuilding for this organization. I guess they can no longer replicate the success they once had with Chris, Mike, Peja, Vlade. That team used to give the likes of Lakers and Spurs real headaches.
