Just watched the 2nd half of the Celtics/Pacers game. Incredible game. Textbook execution on both sides. Dipo was a beast and led a great comeback.

Then Bojan blows the game with one of the dumbest plays i have seen in years. He is going to be miserable for the next few days.

A good day for the Wizards in the standings. Indy, New York, Philly and Miami all lost.

And from that incredible game I'm just now watching the Lakers and the Golden State Warriors!

It is fun as hell to watch other teams play!!!

The bottom line is all the Wizards neede is a lucky horseshoe at the end of the season if they make the playoffs.

I don't even care if they just make the 8th seed.

They need to get their s*** right by the playoffs and peak in the playoffs. Tonight's good night in the standings does help with the seedings.

Ideally, the Wizards can be a 4 seed or better.

But right now they're playing like they could end up anywhere from 8 to 10...

--Guys who can make athletic shot blocks at the rim are on both the Lakers and the Warriors.
--Guys who can run down and throw down serious dunks in traffic are also on both of these teams.

Washington may have some of those type of guys but they play such an isolation game that you never see them do it.

--Jason Smith Never plays.
--Chris McCullough never plays.

Took forever to get Satoransky in games and he doesn't get enough dunks because Wall and Beal hold the ball so long. I get the feeling that the Wizards never try to tailor their game plan around the skills of their individual players.

I saw on Twitter that Bojan pulled a Michael Ruffin.

It was horrible. He is a good foul shooter. All he had to do was hold the ball and get fouled. He had a panic attack.

Can't imagine how he would feel walking into the locker room after that.

Watching the Wizards defeat the Pelicans felt like I was watching another team tonight.

Scott Brooks did a great job of getting all the players involved. He used his bench very well. Loved the minutes distribution and the way the ball moved among all the players on the team.

Philly just lost to the lowly Kings. Philly is in a free fall now. They've lost 7 of their last 8.

The Bucks just pulled out a win against the Cavs.

Kelly Olynyk just played like the player I thought he would be coming out of college.

Dropped 32 on his old team the Celtics. Miami won in that had to be sweet for him. He did a dunk that I'm sure you're going to see on SportsCenter it was nasty.

Yes, Kelly Olynyk's dunk did make Sports Center.

Today I am watching the Knicks so far beating the Celtics. The most obvious thing to me is how much the absence of Jaylen Brown means to Boston.

Weird Knicks vs Celts game, Porzingis goes 0-11 but the Knicks win big.

With the Wiz playing on ABC, no NBC Sports Washington broadcast.

I think Kara is going to continue calling college and NBA games when those circumstances occur. I think she was on ESPN radio during the postseason.

Crazy finish

Spurs basically went 23-11 without Kawhi.

Now he's back. Scary sight for the West.

Vince Carter drops 24 and the Kings blowout the Cavs.

Another bad loss for the Cavs to a sub .500 team!
