    I just hope the game doesn't get to intense.

    Will there be more eye gouges or neck chokes or nut kicks?

    The Lakers are the Best in the In Season Tournament after 2-3 Games. Who would have thunk.

    Cinch up your In-Season Tourniquets folks - it' s going to be another bumpy night.

    West Group B is a goddamned roller coaster with roulette wheels instead of actual wheels.

    As a result, we have an exception to my “two-and-toast” rule that says the second loss is a de facto elimination. Despite a 1-2 start, the Mavericks and the Clippers are very much alive — in fact, Dallas may control its own destiny when its next game tips off! Meanwhile, here’s the bigger picture ahead of Tuesday’s slate. By my count, 22 teams still have reasonable prospects of advancing.

    Eliminated (three losses): Detroit, Washington, Memphis, San Antonio
    Functionally dead (two losses): Charlotte, Chicago, Portland, Oklahoma City
    Still breathing (two losses, West Group B): Dallas, LA Clippers
    Very much alive (one loss): Atlanta, Cleveland, Philadelphia, New York, Orlando, Toronto, Brooklyn, Utah, Phoenix, Denver, New Orleans, Houston, Golden State
    In control: (zero losses): Indiana, Milwaukee, Miami, Boston, L.A. Lakers, Sacramento, Minnesota​

    Folks - West Group B - last known for being FeldMarschall Rommels temporary Sturm reserve brigade prior to the Ardennes offensive in 1944 - is within our grasp.

    How sweet it is

    Would winning this be placed higher than those comets championship trophies Les didn't bother to steal?

    You're a bit confused, you're talking about the dive through the Ardennes in 1940, in which Rommel commanded the 7th Panzer under Army Group A, because Rommel was dead by the time of the Ardennes offensive in 1944.

    Army Group B did conduct the Ardennes offensive in 1944, so that's correct.

    With the Pelicans winning it means we can only go through by winning.

    PHX has the lead by 18 points for the wildcard and since we can't increase our Point Differential by losing it's pretty much a do or die game against Dallas.

    Which is great tbh, that Dallas game will feel like a playoff game.

    Believe it or not, the Rockets were 12 minutes + 3 wins away from their first Major Title since 1995, the inaugural NBA Cup

    Then it all ended.

    Wait Till Next Year

    Run it Back

    Blah blah blah repeat
