127.3 offensive rating is just ridiculous :lol:

They should do weighted one of this. DeAndre Jordan has some playoff experience but isn’t really playing for the Nuggets. Also make sure Heat didn’t include Udonis Haslem or Alonzo Mourning.

Rockets are up 25 on the Cavs right now. If Houston holds on it will be their 5th win in a row and they'll finish the night only 2.5 games behind whoever loses between Lakers and Warriors tonight for 10th in West. (Is Houston better defensively without Sengun? I'm not sure yet but I haven't ruled it out.)

Anyway, It would be pretty funny if the Rockets end up bouncing LAL or GSW completely out of the play-in, is what I'm trying to say.

(In other news from Rockets-Cavs, Donovan Mitchell just left the game after getting elbowed hard in the mouth by his teammate Tristan Thompson.)

Haliburton now 9/53 from 3 in March. 17%!!! Should've sold my Hali stocks back in mid-December.

There’s more to it than just the injury, but the hammy really messed his season up. I know I wasn’t as high as some on him, at least not yet, but he’s better than he’s shown, obviously lol.

Same, my Haliburton is not an MVP/title favorite stance from the fall is holding up well. Elite shooting is hard to do permanently.

Pretty much out of the realm but rooting for Houston to knock Dallas out of the playoffs. Selfishly means the Celtics’ second rounder would jump from the high to the low forties, which is a nice spot to be in. Plus Dallas has gotten pretty annoying (though that’s some real competition in that dept with the teams in front of them).

Lottery Warriors beat irrelevant Lakers.

Laker fans should first talk about beating GSW before talking about beating the Nuggets.

Unless the Suns and the Celtics screw up, magic number about to go down to 5 after today.

Just noticed the Pacers have a whopping 9 players averaging double figure points on the season and 2 more averaging over 9.

Not sure I can think of another team in NBA history that was equal-opportunity to that extent. 11 players over 9ppg is crazy. (Plus I got to type "whopping" which was pretty fun.)

Giannis just holding back Portis, who has 27 pts in 10 mins in the 1st half (not over yet). Bucks should trade Giannis as soon as possible.

zoyathedestroya · Post #1293 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Sun Mar 17, 2024 6:03 pm

Suns an unserious basketball team. Giving up 16 threes in a half? Bucks are without Giannis.

The Suns are so useless.

Suns, you suck! Let’s go Mavs!

Cade's an idiot. Why shoot early? Worst case scenario, you go to OT. Or maybe they really wanted to lose?

Mavs are my only hope for a happy day.

Dallas was up 13 at one point in the 4th.

Denver just seem inevitable at this point. Team is locked in.

That Denver Luka/Jokic/Murray big 3 is tough
