    To be objective about this, according to basketball reference these are the teams he had had his 10 highest game scores of the season:

    Lakers(twice)
    Hornets
    Nuggets
    Suns
    Pelicans
    Sixers
    Grizzles
    Blazers
    Hawks

    So seems like there really isn't a pattern here. It's a well rounded mix of good, mid and bad teams.

    Didn't watch. Knew it'd be a boring win.

    Rox have won 5/6 games and doing it without Alpi, Cam and Tari.

    How crazy would it be if they win 40 games this year?

    Coming in to the season, the goal for me was to win 32 games, that’s a 10 win improvement over last year.

    They’re 31-35 with 16 games remaining. They could’ve easily won 35-37 games by the end of the season if sengun and cam were healthy.

    If Tari was somewhat healthy this team would be in the play-in.

    Umm...theyre probably going to surpass that margin. Lots of winnable games left.

    Two thoughts.

    1. Jalen Green's ankle breaker was SICK. He didn't even wait to see if it fell before he ran back. That was manslaughter.

    2. Halftime was embarrassingly bad.

    Beating bottom feeders consistently is the first sign you've graduated from that group. Team has taken care of that for the most part this season.

    The good Jalen stretch continues, hope he can drive through to the finish line at this level. We've seen plenty of short spurts of greatness from him, they've never stuck.

    Jabari lost his mind and went at the ref.

    Calls like these are absurd and are based on the refs' unwillingness to blow the whistle in favor of a young player. In Jabari's case, the official assumed any NBA player can block Jabari's shot. That, or they just flat-out don't like him.
