It's hilarious that they expect people to be happy paying for that **** product.

*edit - just checked the standings. Is this a case of wanting to avoid Nets at 8? Although the Nets could still jump to 7 through the play-in

No, this is just preservation for the Play-offs. Both teams flying in for the second of a B2B where both teams went to OT yesterday. I also don't believe that the Bucks care who they play. It's more teams jostling to avoid the Bucks than the other way around.

Also, not sure how you can predict where anyone in the play-in will finish atm considering 3 of the teams right now have the exact same record.

Kinda hilarious that the mighty Lakers are so salty about the lowly Pelicans.

Rushing AD and Lebron back.

Turned the lights all the way down while Pelicans were doing shoot around and wouldn’t put them back up.

Nah ... Almost all of the Grizz starters and heavy rotation players are listed as doubtful today. Basically the Dillon Brooks show featuring G-League and the 2ways.


Memphis' bench is deep but not beat the Suns deep.

I totally missed that AD is supposed to play tonight. Figured I'd mention it in case anyone else was unaware.

Oh LeBron is playing in that one after all? You know Brandon Ingram thoroughly enjoyed clowning the Lakers in their last couple of meetings

This is the most recent tweet I can find about them. I would guess they both play.

Suns-Grizz is a bust tonight...Even if the game is close, all of the good Grizzlies players who would be playing in a series are all out.

Giannis at some point tonight:

"At the end of the day, our team want to be gllllate. I want to be gllllate"
"And always remember: one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish, knick knack, paddy whack, give a dog a bone, two thousand, zero, zero, party, oops! Out of time, my bacon smellin' fine."
