Denver needs to win this. This game could be the difference between 7th seed and 6th seed with Dallas and Minny playing tomorrow. Aaron Gordon or some one of these role players need to have an anomaly game and put up 30+ points tonight.

Memphis would win at least 50 games WITHOUT Ja. This team is **** loaded and deep.

Jjj and Bane are the new Draymond and Klay.

This Blazers team... I don't even know who these dudes are. I guess Simons is out today and aside from that I know Josh Hart and I think Kris Dunn might be on the bench? That's all I can come up with lol.

Simons been out for a while. Blazers might be the worst team in the league without him, Dame, Nurk. They should be winless since but Josh Hart had that comical 40 piece.

I think our team sometimes gets too lackadaisical when Ja is around since they expect him to just take over the 4th quarter and win it for them. When he is out, they are locked in because they know they don't have that safety net.

As for today's game Porter is disrupting Houston more than any Grizz player.

I hate to say it but all the John Collins naysayers are finding out how important the Hawks 2nd leading scorer and rebounder is. His absence could very well send them out of the play in or to a play in loss.

How come Jalen Johnson is not getting minutes for the Hawks? I know he is a rookie but he is a decent player.

Alright, I'm going to say it...

Pelicans have looked better without Ingram on the floor.

I’ve seen at least 3-4 times this quarter where Trae missed a layup or thought he got fouled and did not run hard back on defense.

This was a nice play

So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Its just the way Nate is with rookies. Last season it was Okongwu not getting minutes until really late in the season. This season Okongwu is getting consistent burn in his 2nd season. Something else to note, Gallinari is only two seasons removed from averaging 18.7 for the Thunder in 2019.

Edit: Gallinari will never hit the boards like Collins; but I would not be surprised if he averaged 16 plus points a game if given starters minutes.

Tough loss. Pelicans getting CJ seems to have made them play in worthy.

Good game Pelicans.
