Adam silver needs to have Ja Marant fill that spot

Does it have to be from the west? Beal? Wizards are back in the playoff hunt!

I think you mean SGA.. Ja will deserve a spot soon but SGA has been better this year..

Unless he's already filling in for someone and I missed it, that spot better be Booker's. He got robbed.

Yes it does,booker can fill in for both

[Rollie]

It's crazy to see a team get hit with as many injuries in a short period of time as Portland has.

Dion Waiters will be LeBron’s pick.

I wish I cared about the playoffs. I just hope he's back on the court when games that matter resume!
