| Title | Can the Nuggets or Clippers crash the party? | ||||
| Description | The Los Angeles Clippers and Denver Nuggets sit at No. 9 and No. 10 in the West with 34 and 10 percent chances, respectively, of making the playoffs, per BPI. If that seems low given the compact standings, it's worth keeping in mind that both teams have tough roads ahead. Each of Denver's final seven games are against teams with winning records, while the Clippers' only game against a team with a losing record comes in the season finale against a Lakers squad that ranks 10th in net rating since the All-Star break (and has zero tanking incentive).
The good news: Both teams get several shots to knock off current playoff teams. Denver faces Minnesota twice in the final week of the season, while the Clippers have games against the Spurs, Jazz and Pelicans. The term "must-win" is overplayed, but if you're looking to circle two big dates in the race for No. 8, look at next Thursday (April 5) and Saturday (April 7). On Thursday, the Nuggets play the Wolves and http://www.authenticsharksjerseys.com/Authentic-Joe-Pavelski-Jersey the Clippers play the Jazz with head-to-head tiebreakers at stake. Then on Saturday, the Nuggets and Clippers face off. If both take care of business leading into that matchup, this could essentially act as a de facto play-in game to determine who has a real shot to sneak into the postseason.
Since the Nuggets play the Timberwolves twice, including in the regular-season finale, if Denver makes a run it could come at Minnesota's expense. The Wolves are trying to end a 13-year playoff drought, the NBA's longest active http://www.lionsnflofficialprostore.com/YOUTH+KERRY+HYDER+JERSEY streak and second-longest in league history. Unless Towns is going to erupt for 56 every night, Butler's return could give Minnesota the jolt it so desperately needs amid concerns of its tank running on empty with Tom Thibodeau's insistence on relying almost exclusively on his starters.
If the drought continues and the Wolves collapse with tired legs, it will be easy to point to the fact that the Butler-Towns-Wiggins-Taj Gibson-Jeff Teague lineup still leads all five-man lineups by more than 100 minutes, despite the fact Butler has been out since Feb. Cory Littleton Womens Jersey 23. "The s--- I'm wearing tonight, they ain't never been seen before," James told media just before the game.
Upon adding a few pregame images to his Instagram story, the unveiling of his "South Beach" themed LeBron 15s instantly took the internet by storm. Styled in a Miami Vice-influenced teal, black and pink palette, the new sneakers took inspiration from the LeBron 8 model that Nike launched in the fall of 2010, just as James was set to begin his first season in a Heat uniform. Unfortunately for everyone watching, the pair was made just for James and isn't expected to be released.
After pouring in 41 points against the New Orleans Pelicans, Portland Trail Blazers All-Star guard Damian Lillard jetted home to Portland in time for the birth of his first son, Damian Jr. Upon returning to the court Friday, Christian Yelich Womens Jersey Adidas surprised its signature athlete with a batch of baby editions of the Dame 4 awaiting Lillard at his locker. As the crib pairs each featured "Dame Jr." and "Lil' Dame" custom text, it's safe to say baby Dame will go on to have quite the sneaker collection as he grows older. "My boy gone represent," Lillard captioned on Instagram.
Around the league, as expected, Houston Rockets forward PJ Tucker continued his streak of wearing rare models, breaking out the "Business" LeBron 6 from 2008. Utah Jazz wing Thabo Sefolosha returned to the court, fittingly in his beloved Nike Air Max 90 retro running shoes, just as the brand was celebrating its annual marketing-driven pseudo holiday, Air Max Day. Golden State Warriors wings Patrick McCaw and Nick Young both turned heads as well, with McCaw paying tribute to teammate Kevin Durant by wearing a 2012 edition of the KD IV that was originally made to commemorate his second scoring title. Swaggy P once again donned a former Kobe Bryant Adidas signature model, wearing The Kobe in a white-and-yellow makeup at home.
So, one might not be too surprised to learn that two Timberwolves players were ejected Mark Scheifele Womens Jersey from this game -- big man Karl-Anthony Towns late in the first half for arguing with the referees and guard Jeff Teague late in the game for hip-checking Jazz guard Ricky Rubio into the courtside seats. Jazz forward Jae Crowder was also ejected after jawing with Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau, who also received a technical foul in a heated game that featured five of them.
But if the Timberwolves were a bit frayed and thus on edge, well, you can't blame them. They lost to the http://www.authenticcardinalsbaseball.com/Authentic-Randal-Grichuk-Jersey Trail Blazers in Portland the night before, a nationally televised game which naturally ended later than most games. Then the Timberwolves flew out immediately after -- losing an hour along the way -- for Salt Lake City, where they would close out a back-to-back against a Jazz Lee Smith Womens Jersey team that had been off for three ... whole... days. So the ingredients added up to a Jazz win, right? Especially with this being a red alert affair?
Jazz coach Quin Snyder tried to temper such talk before the game, according to the Salt Lake Tribune, when he said, "I think back-to-backs are overrated. Obviously it's a factor, but we've had, on our end, back-to-backs where we've played well and won. So I don't think you can say, 'A team is on a back-to-back, they're going to be tired that way.' I don't think it's the best way to prepare yourself for the game." cheap jerseys china cheap jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale nfl jerseys from china wholesale jerseys |
