    Warriors-Nuggets tonight is a win-win for the Rockets. Nuggets are closer behind the Rockets but they have a tougher schedule than the Warriors. Warriors have an easy schedule so it's possible they could win out. They already own the tiebreaker over the Rockets so they would just need to tie to bump the Rockets. I would be worried if 2nd seed is decided in that last game vs the Nuggets. Pros and cons to either one of them losing tonight. Rockets just need to win 2-3 of the last 5 and it won't matter what the other teams do.

    Jazz are such trash. They were up by 1 at the half and lose by 28 to the Pacers.

    If they go play like this every game, they would be a 60 Win team and go to the Finals.

    Is it me . . . or does Jalen Williams (OKC) get SGA type foul calls

    QUESTION: SGA threw the ball to someone and the person was hit in the hands but just missed it.
    Commentator says SGA put too much pepper on it
    -- Who's Turnover is it . .. SGA or the Guy that missed the pass?
    -- Football logic is . .. if it hits your hands you catch it -- So I think it was on the receiver

    I am not going to leap to conclusions of anything but
    OKC better be careful
    Cause it feels like they coasting or something

    Letting the Lakers get up 20 . . .
    I don't know if they are good enough to coast until the playoffs
    and then turn it back on

    Feels like old Denver colors maybe?

    More like... Welcome to playing against the Lakers.





    The Lakers are good. Doncic had a fantastic game. He controlled the game and demoralized the Thunder. He could carry them. LeBron is still on that new juice. Reaves is in the perfect spot as the third-best player on a team. Hachimura, Finney-Smith, and Vanderbilt are ideal for that team. Hayes is not an NBA starter, but no one has been able to take advantage of their lack of height either in post-ups or drives. I'd like to see someone figure it out against them before the playoffs. As of now, teams beat them playing their game.

    It will be tough if they are allowed to get away with so much low-key dirty crap. When they are playing hard on defense, their aggression is not legal. They push, hold, grab, body, and even trip. Once they see that the refs will let them get away with it, they get carried away with it, and their opponents know that it ain't even worth it to complain.

    LeBron pushed SGA on one drive, which was a clear push, but there was no call. No complaint from SGA either. LeBron tripped another player on a screen, and the player just got up to watch an open three splash. No complaints. Hachimura, Finney-Smith, and especially Vanderbilt do the same crap which leads to opponents getting frustrated and retaliating. Williams did it against Vanderbilt today, and Eason did what he did the other night.

    They've looked good going into the playoffs in recent years, only to collapse, so we'll see what happens with them. Seeing them dominate and demoralize OKC is an ugly development
