Grizz were 4-9 coming off a 36 point loss to Boston before Edey returned to the lineup. They are 5-3 with him in the lineup. Still no Morant, no Jerome, no Clarke and no Pippen Jr. Without him, the Grizz probably would have lost four more games. His work on the glass alone and his plus/minus numbers are ridiculous.

West has a lot of disaster so that might be enough to get them into the play-ins

The bottom dwellers of the West have been really bad this season.

It's pretty much anyone's game to get into the play in spots.

It needs to be said. The Grizz are only two (2) games back of the Warriors in the loss column with 61 games to play and a much younger team. If Morant can pull his head out of his arse and the rest of their guards get healthy, they absolutely can leapfrog (g)Olden State.

Rooting for Portland to make it past the play in, Deni and Cling Kong are so fun to watch and deserve to be in the playoffs.

Ayton has been so much more impactful than the naysayers on this board claimed he would be a net negative.

I see no reason why he shouldn't be averaging 20 ppg this season with Luka and LBJ giving him easy lobs.

Why the hell is Luka still in the game in a blow out ?

Haven't the Lakers learnt anything from running Lebron into the ground in the regular season, leaving him gassed by the time the playoffs start ?

Get him off JJ, the MVP/stats padding shouldn't be Luka or The Lakers focus here.

Lakers might finish the season with the best offense and a bottom ten defense at this rate lol.

Not a very good 2nd half from The Lakers against basically a G League Pelicans outfit.

I think all this talk of them being the 3rd best team in the West/NBA should be put on ice for now.

On the positive side, Austin Reaves will make his first all star appearance as long as he doesn't ger injured.

Reaves is a demon, man. Continues to get better, at least on offense.

Lakers will be a fun playoff team. Could go really well, could go really poorly.
