Of course the Bucks are getting the Jazz without Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson. Okynyk is doing his best, but Jazz are down 14 at half.
We can dream on Philly at GS though.Of course the Bucks are getting the Jazz without Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson. Okynyk is doing his best, but Jazz are down 14 at half.
GS at home (29-7) and with Curry playing should have at least a fighting chance.We can dream on Philly at GS though.
He's been amazing honestly. He's also mastered the "bring the ball up under the defender's arms and go for an and-1" move. You can see him purposely doing it and it's very effective. Seems like his final achilles is just being able to sustain the effort through 4 quarters against teams that play fast - seems like that has also improved a bit this season, but it's not quite Giannis level.Embiid looking a lot like the best player in the world against the Warriors. 37 points with 7 minutes left, about to shoot his 20th free throw. +26 in his 31 minutes.
Tatum is getting better at that, do it properly and it's almost impossible to avoid fouling him.He's been amazing honestly.

The Warriors are just great closers at home. Philly is losing this one.
It was stunning how sudden embiid hit the wall tonight. Not a great sign for their title hopes. Really fun game though. If they can get that Poole consistently I wouldn’t want to see them in the playoffs.Embiid runs out of gas down the stretch, and the rest of the sixers were unable to help out. The Sixers other than Embiid have shot 4-14 so far in the 4th quarter, pretty lousy considering how defensive energy the warriors are focusing on Embiid.

Curry/Poole were 9-13 in the 4th quarter. Just too much without Harden.
He's like an Old School #5 starter that gives you 200 innings. Veteran in the locker room that for $10MM, he's going to show up every night, play D, & not bitch about how many shots/pointz he got/deserves.Good thing the Sixers signed PJ Tucker to a three-year deal.
That's Tucker on a good night. He's had a lot of bad nights this season, most recently against the Warriors. He was 0 for 5 on 3s, and the ones I saw were open looks from the corner. To me, he seems to clearly be in decline.He's like an Old School #5 starter that gives you 200 innings.

Over the last 11 seasons, PJ has averaged over 76 games + 2200 mins every season. He's the very definition of a lunch pail player.
As much as I hate to admit it, Morey has done a really good job over the last 2 years with this group. Unloaded Ben Simmons.
Added Harden, Melton, McDaniels, Niang, and PJ for not much.
For sure, he'll be 38 next month, the decline has been/is happening.That's Tucker on a good night. He's had a lot of bad nights this season, most recently against the Warriors. He was 0 for 5 on 3s, and the ones I saw were open looks from the corner. To me, he seems to clearly be in decline.
Morey has built the second best percentage team from three in the league, at 38.8%, with seven rotation guys above 38%, including Harden, at 38.4%, his best percentage since become a volume shooter from three. They are only 16th in volume.He's like an Old School #5 starter that gives you 200 innings.

It's just one game, but a 29 point beatdown at home to the team you're fighting for the 6 slot isn't a good look.Are the Heat actually any good or am I afraid to face them because of PTSD from last year
64-31 BKN in the second half, MIA was actually winning at halftime.It's just one game, but a 29 point beatdown at home to the team you're fighting for the 6 slot isn't a good look.
AD was the last guy to turn down a supermax, right? 4 years ago now.Dallas is struggling against Charlotte, again (down 8 halfway through the 3rd), but even worse, Luka just picked up another tech and will be suspended for their next game.
Not to worry, Kyrie is digging deep -- when the going gets tough, the tough get....oh, wait...he's playing like he's checked out? Never mind.Dallas is struggling against Charlotte, again (down 8 halfway through the 3rd), but even worse, Luka just picked up another tech and will be suspended for their next game.
I believe their pick is top 10 protected (to the Knicks if it's worse than that), meaning their shot at Wemby is no worse than 4.5% (the odds if you have picks 8-10).In the end, a 3-6% shot at Wembanyama might be Dallas’ best hope of not totally botching the Luka era.
He’s going to blame the fans lack of faith in him and point to the Port Cellar as a major source of negative energy.Kyrie's continuous flame-out is one of the more enjoyable sub-plots to this season.
Wonder who he pins this one on? Cuban, Kidd, Mavs fans, & Luka are all in the running

He’s already setting the stage to blame the Mavs fans and I would guess Cuban goes with that. Only guarantee is that it will somehow circle back to Kyrie being incredible at his craftKyrie's continuous flame-out is one of the more enjoyable sub-plots to this season.

LeBron is moving like utter shit there.Lakers lose to the Bulls in Lebron's return, culminating in this moment:

Sums up the Lakers' season pretty well.
I mean, SoSH’s positive energy spoke four World Series titles, 5-6 Super Bowl wins (was there a Blinded by the Lombardis in ‘02?), an NBA championship, and a Stanley Cup into the universe. Is it that hard to believe Kyrie’s anti-science, anti-semitic dogma has been run over by the Port Cellar’s powerful karma?He’s going to blame the fans lack of faith in him and point to the Port Cellar as a major source of negative energy.
This is really tragedy turning into farce -- absolutely hilarious to get booted for yelling that the earth is round. I guess the same thing would happen at a Trump rally if you yell that vaccines work. Outrageous!
I would feel so proud to be a part of that.He’s going to blame the fans lack of faith in him and point to the Port Cellar as a major source of negative energy.
I hate to say it, but this may not be correct, and I think the tweet might have been made in jest. I'd like to see another source other than Bovada (LOL). A few Internet posts I've seen from people at the game seem to think that the guy said something to piss off Luka during the previous Mavs possession.
Sounds like he doctor shopped until he got an opinion he liked. We'll see how that works out for him.LeBron is moving like utter shit there.
Credit to TWolves for stealing it, though. Two huge threes by KAT and, man, Kyle Anderson is a winning player.Warriors big time choke here at the end. Back to back TO's by Draymond (leading to a KAT 3) and then Poole.
Dallas without a scintilla of hesitation.If the battle for the last play-in spot comes down to Dallas and the Lakers, who do you root for? It's like the reverse Sophie's Choice.
