And Beal missed the entire overtime due to injury. He could've dropped close to Tatums 60 point game.


That sucks. Serious injury?

He tweaked his hamstring.

Wow, Jaylen Brown out for season. I hope this doesn't happen to us with a key player...not worried about it happening due to not resting other than more so a freak injury happens because you play more, though that could happen at any time.

They may have had a chance to beat Milwaukee but not now.

LeBron not playing tonight, if they lose to NY it pretty much ends their chances of finishing 6th. Especially when you consider Denver won't have anything to play for that final game against Portland. The only real path is Jazz and Suns beat the Blazers and the Lakers win out.

I think i'm desperate for us to have a great chance to win a playoff series, but in a funny way, us getting lakers in the first round gives us the best chance to make some noise in the playoffs and win the west because we have to beat them at some point and rd 1 seems like when they'd be most vulnerable.

I think if the Lakers played the Clippers in the first round there would be a good chance the Clippers win. Then you wouldn't have to play the Lakers (though the Clippers scare me just as much).

Yeah I get the theory that round 1 is the best shot to beat LA... But I'm with you that I'd rather the clippers test that theory. :)

I thought LeBron was coming back tonight. I guess not. AD isn't playing either. They are barely beating the Rockets, though it probably doesn't matter since Portland is beating Utah by 10 late.

Apparently AD woke up this morning with soreness in his groin and LeBron still had some soreness. They must be scared of the Clippers. I really hope they somehow lose 2 in a row in the play in tournament. I know the NBA wouldn't want that to happen but it would be great if the opposing team just got really hot from 3 in each game.

We're in the longest stretch in NBA history without expansion so figured this was coming. Curious how they adjust the conferences. If they keep East/West I'd guess Memphis moves East although I think there's a strong case that the Wolves should instead and set up the natural rivalry with the other Midwest teams.

If Vegas and Seattle were the teams 2 would definitely need to move to the east. The 2 you mentioned make most sense. Only other possibilities might be New Orleans, OKC or maybe Houston but that’s pushing it to me

It would actually only be one team moving east. Take the remaining west 14+ 2 = 16. Current East 15 +1 = 16.

I think TWolves probably should based on natural rivalries in other sports. Seems like they are alway competing with Milwaukee, Chicago and Detroit in other sports leagues.

I consider myself a pretty big NBA fan and I've litterally never heard of this Brissett guy who started for Indi today.

Me neither. I was just looking at him and had to look at how he had been doing prior to that.

I only new him from closing the season in one of my other fantasy leagues he was getting like 35 fantasy points a night.

On another note watching that game I would like to submit Sabonis for all winer team considerations.

Does Dillion “not marshon” Brooks make anyone else hate the grizzlies?
