Re: Wednesday 3/27 NBA Game Thread
Brooklyn look stupider by the day rejecting the Jalen Green for Mikal Bridges trade (plus the rockets throwing in a few futures too)
Rockets fans should send Sean Marks a massive bouquet of flowers.
Oh man is this non trade going to be a huge sliding doors moment for both franchises in years to come
Green Pretty much untouchable trade wise now
And yes, he and Sengun can co-exist as a terrific tandem/duo going forwards, Ime will figure it out.

Just watched the closeup of Steph's reaction to Draymond's ejection. I'm not even kidding: I almost shed a tear with him. That **** was powerful.

In March 2024? Green's like a top three player. Giannis, Jokic, Green.
Maybe Doncic.
For this NBA season, Jalen Williams is the much better player. And that’s before we get to defense where the disparity is much greater.
Clearly. But Green has the best month of the two. (And he's done it on both ends this month.)

Jazz's tank has found another gear I never knew existed. I think the trick is just not to contest shooters.

Never seen a player go from trade bait to untouchable in like 2 months like Green has.

Are they playing philosophical defense on the 3?

How they don't call that backcourt violation is crazy.

Unless I don't know the rules, that was the most obvious uncalled backcourt violation I've seen in nearly 35 years of watching NBA basketball.

Re: Wednesday 3/27 NBA Game Thread
With the MIN win and OKC loss, the two teams are tied for 2nd with OKC at 50-22, with ten games left.
For tie-breakers, MIN and OKC split the season 2-2
The next tie-breaker is Division Record. MIN is 11-3, OKC 12-4, but MIN’s last two Division games are @DEN, OKC is done.
If MIN wins one of those games and both end up 12-4, the next tie-breaker is Conference Record. MIN is 34-12, OKC is 32-16.
For the record, DEN is only 1 game ahead of both (before results of Suns game), and their Division Record is only 8-5.

Yeah.
I have no idea if this March stretch is who he really is, but if it is, then I'm maxing him happily.

He will be aggressive in the second half. He better be

Lakers are making their move now in the West.
I am sure no one would want to play them in the first round (well maybe aside from Denver)

Even Denver. There are no easy series in the playoffs this year, even for the defending champs. People really discount it, but i can definitely see a hot Suns or Lakers squad beating them in the first round

Jalen Green reminds me of a young gohan turning SSJ 2. He’s always shown flashes of his potential but he was too inconsistent, but now it seems like Jalen Green has awoken.

It's gotta be hard playing for Utah right now. Playing for an organization that wants you to lose every game.

Re: Wednesday 3/27 NBA Game Thread
Interesting how the Suns are defending Jokic tonight. Basically doubling him any chance they get, not letting him get any free looks and forcing the rest of the Nuggets to beat them tonight even if Jokic is getting them good looks. You think they would want to force him to be a scorer this game but maybe no Nurkic plays into that.
