Fun part is that PG13 had just an ''ok'' half for his standards

Re: 2/11 | G56: Portland Trail Blazers at Oklahoma City Thunder - 7PM CST
I'm trying to remember the game that started this all off. Was it the Brooklyn game?
PG has been on another level ever since that time. In a quarter he can destroy a team by himself. Only players this season that have been able to do that are Giannis, Harden, and him. When you add in defense at the level that he plays, he is honestly by himself. Harden scores more. Giannis' team has more wins. Those are slowly becoming the only arguments in their favor.
Huge props to Ray and DB. They came in and delivered big time. Deonte even got a chance to play down the stretch and made some good defensive plays. As soon as his game eligibility is up, he needs to be converted. That question has been put to bed.
To win without a starter and 6th man probably isn't a great as the Houston win, but its pretty damn close.

I believe techs reset when the playoffs start. He is still coming dangerously close for how much of the season is remaining. He only has 3 more unless the one today gets rescinded.

Russ setting out a game and getting some rest might not be a bad idea.

PG13 had his first incredible offensive game against Brooklyn but just after that he played trash against Chicago. Now almost 20 games in a row being elite on offense.
We missed Grant but Felton was great. I love big fatty Felton.

Historically Adams struggles with Nurkic. One of the few bigs he canāt physically push around.

Well Nurkic used to kill Adams like no other big does. I think Blazers are facing some issues lately and the last two games were very close. Only good thing about that match up is that they don't have anyone great to defend on PG13, but Adams/Nurkic is a terrible match up.

Same here. We really need to stay out of that 4/5 first round matchup. I don't want any part of the Blazers or Rockets in the first round.

Well Utah is one game behind Rockets/Blazers for the 5th spot now so...it will be close
Best case scenario would be to play the Spurs, then I will go with Utah again even if they killed us last year and are still a great team.
I mainly want to avoid finishing 4th or 5th for us to have a shot to go to the WCF
