Hey I'm onboard, but knowing my luck, I've cursed them. The last basketball game I went to was 6/19/16 which we don't talk about. The only game I went to that entire season :laugh:

I put $100 on them at the start of the playoffs at 10:1 to win it all, and the possible finals game 7 day is 6/18 which is the due date for my first kid and also fathers day.

In the ideal world, I'm streaming Dubs/ECF in my left hand, holding my wife's right, and Steph nails the game winner as I hear our son come out, winning me $1,000 on fathers day, screaming for all kinds of reasons.

A better one would have been “Kobe should have been in prison.” Or, Lakers somehow attempted 37 free throws while making 27 shots in game 7, somehow winning a game with .349 eFG%. Joey Crawford and Scott Foster as two of the refs.

All i got out of that whole thread.

"Willis Reed was out with a knee injury before the series began, Knicks big man Dave DeBusschere was forced into limited minutes due to an injury while guarding Wilt which led to no one left on the Knicks being able to content rebounds, and guard Earl Monroe was playing injured for the Knicks. Fun fact, Wilt broke his wrist in game 4 and still played game 5 posting a stat line of loving 24/29/8/8."

This right here,everyone was f'ing injured but Wilt still played! So current players not playing get some freaking uppers,ludes and 20,000 forget-me-nots and get in the game!

Honestly, yeah Reggie is probably growing on me more than I initially thought. Probably a Bill Walton-esque scenario where
1) I grew numb to the stuff I absolutely hated about them
2) They leaned the gently caress into whatever hokey lane they feel most comfortable in

I don't have access to all the stuff (or know how to use it like some of you here) but IF the warriors finish the Kings and advance and IF the Lakers finish the grizz and advance, that'd be the first time in my 25ish years of paying attention to basketball that I can remember a 6 seed having homecourt.

Others?

That's a good question. The lowest I can find is 5-seed Utah in 1994 when they played 8-seed Denver in the 2nd round.

I should also add that the Kings fabled DHO offense has been largely nullified with both the Warriors scheme and Huerter and (formerly) Keegan shooting like hot garbo

Didn’t they lose the last game by 1 point and score 125, on the road? that doesn’t seem like a neutralized offense or a super worrying development

Fox put up 38 and Keegan finally busted out of his slump. The offense definitely isn't firing as well as it did in the regular season and Fox has been putting up some stellar numbers in some of the games to compensate. If Fox is out for game 5 or even hampered they don't have the free flowing Sabonis hub offense to compensate. Or maybe Brown can scheme it back into existence but those DHO points haven't been there so far

Life, friends, is boring
Grant Hill without injuries would have had an amazing career. At least as good as the one Kidd had. Best guy on a team that can make it to the finals. He averaged 20, 10 and 7 in freaking 1995-96 when games were played in quicksand compared to today. Awesome dunker too.
