Indy just keep on winning... surely their schedule amps up though as they always seem to play at home?

Brutal stretch with a West Coast Trip in March:

@MIL
@PHI
NY
OKC
@DEN
@POR
@LAC (B2B)
@GS
DEN
@OKC
@BOS

Brutal.

No way they survive this with home court still intact. This stretch will solidify celtics and Sixers in top 4.

Kevin Pricktchard really screwed us over by not trading Paul George to us. It was reported we already had a deal in place but he reneged on his word. PG has been a beast this season.

Mvp is between giannis/jokic/george.
I don't like what harden and westbrook are doing.
Harden was in game, up 14 with 1 min left and shot 3s to get his 30pts streak alive. He made it on 9/23 shots(6/17 from 3)
Westbrook bricked everything as usual(5/19) but got his 10th consecutive TD(21/14/11) and surpassed wilt's record.
Westbrook's mvp in 2017 was a disaster. These two are ugly to watch. Effective for sure but ugly.

Philly would have to climb the rankings a bit, but Embiid..27 and 14, 49%fg..dude has been a monster.

Giannis should get it though.

Yes, forgot about him. He certainly deserves to be in the convo. Curry too.
Basically, anyone but harden or westbrook.
If one of those two wins it again, it will be a travesty.

I've been silently suffering with this knowledge. We were both pretty hard on the get PG train if I remember right.
Only consolation is that Hayward follows a similar trajectory (assuming he picks up that player option....).

Yeah, was even doing cap calculations to see how everyone would fit. Among all the second-tier stars we were after, he's the one I wanted most. He's playing like a top tier star right now.

I even came up with a new position called super swing, that only consisted of LeBron, KD, Kawhi and PG. Changed my name to 3D Chess because I thought Danny had figured out you needed one of these four guys, and he was gonna throw everything at getting PG. Was so mad when they traded him to okc lol, literally couldn't believe it.

Avery Bradley was amazing last night. A Career high 33 points with Memphis. The majority of the buckets were long mid range jumpers. He had some really good pick and roll passes as well with 6 assists. He looked like a star point guard. Pretty crazy after he couldn't buy a bucket in LA.

Loved that gamble for Memphis because Bradley was clearly slumping.. but he's never scored 33 before?

I was surprised by this, apparently his previous high was 32 in Dallas in 2014 with the Celtics.

I don't think it was really a gamble for Memphis. It had nothing to do with on court play. It just helped the Grizzlies duck the tax this year.

Next year, Bradley has a 13 million salary, but only 2 is guaranteed now. The 2 million is gone. Maybe Bradley somehow plays well enough to feel paying him an extra 11 million next year is okay. It is pretty unlikely at this point though.

Lin is a good pick up for the Raptors. If he is able to stay healthy that is. Are the Celtics planning to add someone? Did anyone hear anything?

Wouldn't mind signing him next year on a 2 year deal maybe. Depending on what happens with Rozier.

Franchise is due for some luck. Maybe Carmelo Anthony and JR Smith can sign with them for the max this summer.

Love Bradley. Wish him only the best as long as he stays away from the Lakers.

[KevinGamble34]

I hope he gets back on track and another contract.

Maybe nobody seems to notice, because the Knicks haven't won anything in 40 years and suck as a franchise. But, that's just my opinion.
