Also, how about that dude George in UTA? Highest scorer with a 25-5-5 statline?

What could have been. Lol

Pelicans have 6th best points differential in nba and just beat Clippers, who might be their playoff matchup.

BK-IND
NYK-SAC

Two games to watch tomorrow, Indy prob wins and 50/50 for NYK-SAC but slight edge to SAC.

Guy was best player outside nba for two years. He is crafty and very , very, very good passer. Stop gap PG who can play off bench for 25-ish min, he would be big addition for most of teams. OKC gave him up too easly, but ofc, their roster construction really does not require ballhandler , given Giddey, SGA; Wallace, J Will all play with ball.

Bamba had such an opportunity to prove he is not usless after Embiid got hurt, instad he averages 4 points and 4 rebounds as starter.

Pretty much book is closing and he'll be out of nba in very short period of time. What a waste.

The Bucks and Cavs both have tough schedules. Hopefully, one of them has a little losing streak. We're tied with the Cavs 2-2 in the season series but hold the edge vs the Eastern Conference 28-17 compared to 27-17 by the Cavs.

We have 2 games against the Bucks at the end of the season.

I'd much rather play the Pacers in the playoffs, although we've been much worse with Wendell playing against them.

I'd add Cleveland vs. Houston to keep an eye on. The Cavs have a hard West Coast trip coming up that includes 2 b2bs

The Pelicans, Kings, Warriors, and Clippers are all in must win games when they play us during this home stand. Both the Warriors and Kings will be playing us on their 3rd game in 4 nights on the road. Remember how tired we looked against the Knicks on our 3rd game in 4 nights?

We should try out our 9-man playoff rotation soon. Fultz will likely be the odd man out, and Franz will play some SG in the big lineup. Wendell, Isaac, Banchero, Franz, and Suggs.

I like this idea. Going to get teams at their best and need to bring it.

He'd be the best point guard on the roster by a mile.

Cleveland down big to Houston right now. I think I'd rather play the Cavs than the Knicks. Knicks are 3 games back of the Cavs but it could be 2 games by the end of the night.

Also Mitchell prob just broke his nose too. Wonder if he's missing more time from that. Rough go of things lately.

If he broke his nose, he could be out for weeks. They have a really rough West Coast trip coming up.

I think that shipped sailed with the two big losses. Knicks are only 3 games back in the loss column (may be just 2 in 30 minutes) and they hold the tie-breaker against the Cavs. We're 4 games behind the Cavs and they own the tie-breaker.

Depends how bad. He's back in the game but looked a bit rough when it happened.

If only they didn't have two miracle wins...

How do the Cavs hold the tiebreaker over us? The series is 2-2 and we have a better conference record.
