We better be ready to play when they come here, the following Tuesday!


Rockets up 79-51 with 1:30 left in the half. They are on a mission. GSW better watch their backs.

This Rockets team has all of a sudden made things interesting. Keep it up.

Jamal Murray sprained his Ankle in the game against NYK. He missed tonight and I found this on hoopshype, “ Chris Dempsey: #Nuggets coach Michael Malone said he hopes Jamal Murray’s ankle injury is a short-term absence but could be longer.

Without Murray and Jokic, DEN still handled POR with ease. POR only beaten top 10 west teams twice this year. Really should kick them down to the G league. Without Murray, DEN is very beatable.

Portland didn’t exactly start their starters. Honestly, not one of them. That was a G league team that Denver barely beat.

OKC getting that one seed handed to them on a silver platter at this point.

People under rate OKC all year. SGA, Holmgren,J Williams are the new big 3 since KD, Harden, Westbrook. We already know SGA is MVP, top 5. They will go as far as Holmgren can hold up at center. So far he has been great.

Full strength Clippers get rocked by the struggling 76ers.

They’re no threat.

Milwaukee leading OKC by 6 late first half. Cleveland down 98-59 to Miami early in the 4th. Takes some luster off beating them.

103-77 Bucks over OKC in the fourth. Bucks really woke up after the ASB, and never went back to sleep.

First bad game by SGA all year. Holmgren is off too.

SGA with a bad game damn it. I was hoping he would save his one bad game this year for when we play them in the playoffs.

Spurs hosted the Suns without Wemby. They won 104-102 on a buzzer beater by Sochan. Go figure.

Also, Rockets won their 9th straight. They are now .5 games behind GSW, but GSW has the tie breaker.

Pacers up 20 over Clippers. I am calling it a win. Wolves up 5 with 11 games to go, so will at least get the 3rd seed.

Clippers really need some size and toughness. I think they will be very willing to trade PG13 for Towns this off season. Would you do it? We also save some money too. What about Kawhi for Towns (but will spend more)?

Clippers and Suns are falling apart at the seams. This is the worst time of the year to be sliding. They are looking play in bound at this rate. Lovely to watch from our ivory tower of a top 3 seed. I really wish the TNT guys weren't doing NCAA games right now because I would love to see what kind of excuses they would be making for these teams playing like absolute trash while they refuse to give teams like Minnesota and OKC credit.

I think if this was February then maybe the Clippers end in the play in. But being late March, I think the 6 seed is where they end up. As it stands now the Pels and Clippers are tied, and the Pels have the season tie breaker 3-1. I think the Kings catch the Clippers and take 5. Dallas and Phoenix will compete for 7 and whoever sucks worse will be on the road.
