It’s a relatively small gap one way or the other.


This is true but the magic had a very small chance of playing in the play ins especially with such an easy schedule remaining.

One of most important wins of a season for sure. We shot 40% for 3, Franz made 3 threes.

Tnx to Nets and Suns for beating Cavs & Pacers.

Bucks lost. Again?! I don't know what's going on there, aside of Lillard missing games.

Kinda crazy Gary Harris played 32 minutes and scored 0 points.

Yup but he did the most damage by accidentally slipping and made Zion shook

Another excellent win. We were locked in throughout. The defence on Zion was really impressive all game long. Great to se Franz finding his stroke from 3 and Paolo having an excellent game.

We match up really well with the Pels largely because Paolo does a solid job on Zion and when he sits there's Isaac who does a great job on anyone. If they were in our conference I'd have hoped to get them in the first round.

Solid win. A win in a game both teams found as relevant is a big win.

Feels like Paolo takes that Zion matchup personally. He really demolished NO.

Such is life for a catch-and-shoot player sometimes.

Harris only got 15 touches in the front court last night. He took 3 shots (missed them all) and turned it over once.

So really his usage was pretty high given how little he touched the ball :lol:

Because Ingram slipped on himself? Weird reason to get mad at Suggs. Also convenient that he cut out the angle that clearly shows that Ingram just slipped, unfortunately.

I saw Zion jumping into players that were going straight up and down and begging for calls.

On the other end, they were trying to strip Paolo and caught him several times on the arms.

Now, a lot of the Pelicans fans are complaining today about the refs. The Locked-On Pelicans guy was talking about sending tape to the league.

Looks like we are in the heads of the Pelicans players and fans lol. Ingram made a move and just stumbled on himself, there was no dirty play. Suggs was just defending normally. What they want us to part the seas to the basket so they can get open layup? Salty lol.

One of the games where you could see the benefit of WCJ. Even Zion bounced off of him 2 or 3 times on drives. :lol:
