Griz too raw for a finals appearance.

They won't beat the top teams in the west.

Andre Drummond 24 points and 25 rebounds on 11-13 shooting filling in for Vucevic in a win over the Hawks last night. I'm surprised but it was against the Hawks.

Happy to see him healthy and helping his team win games (team-high +9 in a 1-pt win). Now 4-0 with Ja back.

If Gordon previously didn't have a dog in him, now he does.

21 stitches to his face and shooting hand sounds pretty gruesome.

KG was right.

Anything's possible.

So no matter how hard the Cs try to prevent injuries, there will be something like what Aaron Gordon is dealing with.

Jaylen Brown got injured watering his plants last season.

Great for him. He's probably a better fit on that team than the Cs.

Boy the Magic have been useless lately. About to lose to Phily without Embiid.

I still hate the Lakers the most but man, my hate for the Heat is nearing those levels. We have to bury these guys in the playoffs.

Nice try. Too late

Bucks can't seem to put away the Nets' C-team. Magic can't win against Embiid-less Sixers.

Nets have no chance of winning that game, can't match Bucks shooting.

The East teams that might give us trouble in the postseason are, in no particular order: injury to Tatum, injury to Porzingis and/or injury to White.

It's a 6-year window.

If not this season then next season.

Injuries are part of the game.

If Jaylen can get injured watering plants then nobody is safe.

Nets trying to lose on purpose?

Why?

Accusing the NBA of game fixing is a big accusation.

This Red Sox offseason is a drag.

Mavs about to lose despite leading by 20 at home to a Cavs team missing everyone. Luka can’t be feeling great about this team.
