Game 40 : MEM vs BOS

Steph, Zion, And What The NBA's Play-In Needs To Succeed

A do-or-die game easily billed as "Steph vs. Zion" is on the table, here- and if that happens, it could easily be enough of a cultural success for the league to validate whatever other junk occurred along the way.

The NBA's Scoring Boom, Part 2

by Jack Tien-Dana

The explosion of individual scoring has actually highlighted the importance of lineup cohesion. The surplus of scoring has made the most valuable players those who reconfigure the geometry and geography of the court, opening corridors of space on offense while bolting them shut on defense.

The Title Chase Denver Has Had To Put On Ice

by Colin McGowan

If Jamal Murray returns right, and nothing too drastic changes during this spell he's forced to miss, they can pick up right where they left off: in the thick of a championship hunt they just might come out of on top.

Isaiah Thomas And The Struggle To Let Go

by Micah Wimmer

It does not appear likely that Isaiah Thomas will be a vital cog on a winning team again, but knowing something and accepting it are two different things. The awareness that all athletic glory is inherently fleeting does make its passing any easier to bear.

We're not getting blown out, that's progress.

Boston has hit 12 3's, yet Memphis are only down 5 at the half. If Boston can't keep up their hot 3pt shooting they're going to lose.

Choked away regulation but nice to see Memphis beat a team they have really struggled with over the last 2yrs.

All things said, Memphis could have has an extra 10-12 pts, at least, on all the non calls they had driving to the rim.

Melton’s 3pt shooting mechanic keeps exciting me.

Dillon looked legit. He somehow has gradually turned into a quite decent SF, though I thought he got stuck at SG. Bearing in mind where he started, I am impressed with the distance he has covered in terms of his development.
