More like Flippers choked, ddint score any buckets the last 3 minutes of the game.


Well yeah, but Giannis was the primary defender on at least half of those possessions. It was an impressive 4th quarter by him either way.


He defended all the flippers players?

Not sure if the Lakers or Clippers will catch Utah unless they get some injuries to the key players. The Lakers and Clippers could end up with the #2 and #3 seeds. We would play them in the 2nd round which wouldn't be the worst thing (no travel).

Whatever it takes to keep them out of the WCF.

Only 4.5 games gap between us and the 8th seed... We need to go on a win streak. Another losing streak might get us out of top 5 quick.

Assuming suns, blazers, flippers, spurs and blazers have a winning streak too. Lakers had 4 game losing streak and they're still #2 in the west.

We were fortunate those teams lost when we were losing and didn't really lose any ground. But we can't rely on that to keep happening.

Also when I checked the standings after the Nets game. I believe the gap was 6 games between us and the 8th seed. So we did lose some ground. The race is a lot tighter for all the teams between 2-8. Next 3 games is very important to create a bit more of cushion before ASB.

Fortunate?? As if those teams bound to win every game. lol
The league is so competiive now that you seldom see multiple teams (maybe a team or 2) having big winning streaks.

Clippers play at Boston on Tuesday. The good news is one of them is going to lose.

Is Luke Kennard out of the lineup now? He’s gotten some DNP-CDs recently. He got a pretty hefty extension.

Put TNT a few minutes into the game and was wondering why I was seeing Reggie Jackson early in the 1st.

Edit: “back spasms” for Kawhi.

Pulling hard for the Celtics on this one. We need all the help we can get after the 4 game skid. I honestly couldn't care less about the rivalry in a regular season game against another team besides us. It's all about what benefits us the most and that's far and away a Celtics win. They're still heavily struggling regardless and barely a .500 team this year so we can still laugh at them

Might not be for the rest of this game though

He has though, massive turn around from the Bubble for sure. I've even been seeing Lou play a little defense lately.

As good as Tatum is he def. does not deserve to be talked among the best in the NBA at all ever since the bubble last season he's been mediocre to awful in crunch time especially nearly every time i've seen him. A lot of it is just poor decisions on top of missed shots too.

I'm always a fan of the close late game situation where Tatum Isos against the best wing defender and takes a 96 foot step back three with his eyes closed.

Barring some sort of changes, looks like the case.

C'mon No Gasol, Kuz and more so AD. He's top shelf and is M.I.A. If they all return and get rolling, which I expect, we'll be fine.

Why? Kawhi was out and even then they still almost pulled it out.
