Too bad for the Knicks they hit the injury bug hard now.

They are in serious danger to drop to the play-in.

I also love the parity in the league right now...makes it way more interesting.

Who would have thought the Durant/Booker/Beal Suns, the Steph Warriors, the Lebron/AD Lakers and the Luka/Kyrie Mavs would all be in the play-in right now?

And then the East is razor close all 1.5 games apart between the Knicks, Sixers, Magic, Heat, and Pacers in the 4-8 seed slot.

It's amazing how many of his blocks stay in-bounds and how he gets possession of the ball immediately afterwards. I wonder if anyone tracks that. If so...he might have already broken the season record lol.

His blocks are more than just blocks. They are half-block, half-steal. It's actually worth adjusting the stat tracking for that because the practical outcome is significant. Blocking the ball and taking it away from a shooter is far more effective than swatting it into the fourth row.

You’re right, there’s definitely a lot more value in a block that gets recovered by the defending team . I alway said it was stupid for some guys that block the ball so hard that it goes out of bounds when they could have grabbed or tipped it

Yeah the Knicks were in second place end of January before the injuries hit, and were likely to stay there. They may get it together for a playoff run, otherwise next year should be very strong.

Mark Jones said Kawhi, Norm and Fred were talking together pregame tonight, and 2019 reunion. Clippers are really slipping lately, although they may come back in this game. Sengun is really good

WaltFrazier · Post #530 » by **WaltFrazier** » Thu Mar 7, 2024 3:00 am

Sengun pushes Kawhi down, trips over Kawhi's legs, and they call a foul on Kawhi.

This ESPN crew are they the Clippers crew because it sure sounds like it.

The Rockets foundation looks pretty good in my eyes. Segun, Smith and Thompson is nice in itself. Despite all the summertime jokes Steady Freddie and Brooks were nice signings. Good coach

Grizzlies come from down 12 in the fourth to win. Thanks to the 6ers and Nick Nurse. JJJ with a 30 piece and 6 blocks. He could be an MVP type of player in a couple years.

Kawhi still great. 28/7/6 in a comeback win. Fred had a late ill-timed technical that lost the Rockets any chance to win

Go check Jeff Dowtin's numbers for the Sixers today. Seemed like he played great.

Jrue made the Bucks more likeable.

LAC player had his arm all over Segun. I thought he should have got the foul not Kawhi.

Damn hope Biyombo is alright. Dude collapsed during a timeout but he’s alert now.

Hopefully it wasn’t something with his heart.

Giannis is so good he makes this scrub line up look good. Fire the GM not the coaches lmao
