I can’t believe the Grizzlies can score 51 in the third quarter, then 17 in the fourth, to let LAC escape.

We get the 76ers and Nets on back to backs at home. Have to take advantage.

76ers are pretty good, no? Gonna be hard to take advantage though maybe Gobert can slow down Embiid a bit.

It will be a hard game no doubt. But we beat them earlier this year in Philadelphia, though that was without Harden (Embiid had 32/9 on 6-15 FG).

It's going to be the 2nd game of a back-to-back. Their 5th game of a 7 day 5 game road trip. Normally I see a win but not sure after what happened against Wizards.

I don't know. The Sixers are pretty good, Embiid is playing at an MVP level and we know he gets a million calls. I would schedule that game as a loss but, especially because they are an eastern team and we have been trash with them, but who knows. Would be a big win.

Embiid skipped the first game of the road trip (the first of a back to back), with foot soreness.

He’s playing in a close game tonight against IND, but no guarantees he’s playing here tomorrow.

Aigne a happy man tonight. Jazz just drop like 4 spots and is now third worse team in the Western conference. On top of that Wolves loss. LAL wins tonight, the will host a play-in. The standings now looks like what it will be at the end of the year.

What do you mean?

5-8 are separated by 1/2 game.

Yes, it is a tight race between 5 to 13. It's my opinion the final season standing will look like Tuesday’s standing. It’s opinion stated as fact like Fox News. Come to think of it, there was a massive fault in All Star voting. Numerous bags of Target center all star votes were thrown into garbage trucks. Dominion was flipping all the Towns votes to LeBron. Towns actually had the most votes. :D

There is definitely potential for some items to fall off. If the Mavs and Suns start dropping games that will be big time for us.

How many expected that Dallas would start 4-7 after that trade?

I actually haven’t been surprised. Kyrie is great but way too unreliable, and they traded away DFS, who they need.

I posted in 2/25 that Dallas would be in the middle of the pack, so, not surprised given Kyrie's history. Maybe 6-5 instead of 4-7. They will with adjustment but still be in the pack fighting from 5 to 10
