    Jackpot! And if the Heat get eliminated in the play-in it will shine a bigger light on the fact that they (very much including Butler) seemingly punted on many games in the regular season and therefore made their own bed to be in those single game elimination situations that can always go in...

    Who are you rooting for in the Play In Games?

    That's the way it is also showing in my NBA app. Followed by Mavs@Clips 2.5h later. Can't wait...!

    The Wolves are shooting 59% (47% from 3) and have more rebunds than the Suns. They are also down 15 points thanks to 20 turnovers in 30 minutes. Ant and KAT make all the wrong decisions, it's Rudy who is keeping them in the game with rebounds and multiple 3 point plays. Edit: As I write that...

    The Cavs just put up 80 points in the first half of the 2nd game of B2B at the LA Clippers. The LAC defense is somewhere between non-interested and horrible!

    Good news for Milwaukee: They got those (kind of) teams out of the way now and playing their remaining 5 games: Knicks Celtics Magic @OKC @Magic Those are all Playoff teams that still have very much something to play for (with the one obvious exception). Currently the Bucks are 1 game up...

    After Tobias Harris destroyed the LAC in the first half, now it's the Maxey Show in Los Angeles. 76ers up by 19 with just over 7min to play. The Clippers seems like a team that doesn't really care. Fake edit: Up to 21 point lead now...

    I have to asume that Giannis is still scared: With that recent history and for those of us planning to watch and enjoy a Celtics basketball game later today: How about a trip to the cinema for you instead; I hear "Dune 2" is a nice movie!?

    Watched it full - and yes, it's great stuff. It's easy to root against LBJ with him playing for some of the Celtics biggest EC rivals and now LA, but off the court you really have to clutch at straws with "The Decision" and him not solving the China/Hongkong single-handedly.

    I'm not generally disagreeing with your post, there are many valid points. But you can't use 1 playoff round in 2020 as actual experience in the playoffs (especially if you may get a team like LAL, GSW, Dallas etc. in the first round already) which have all been to Conference Finals in the last...

    It's never a direct causation that "played too much" leads to "injury", but these are Josh Harts minutes played going backwards the last couple of games: 45, 47, 40, 41, 41, 44 This can't be healthy!

    It feels impossible to judge the Heat and what they can/will be able to do in the Playoffs because they don't seem to care much about the regular season and had quite some injuries on top. On the Lowe Post podcast they pointed out that Bam and Butler have played together in only half of the...

    In other news: The Pistons are not the single worst team in the league anymore after winning @Chicago. They're now tied with the Wizzards, who are on an impressive 12 game losing streak. Jordan Poole with 12 points on 17 shots off the bench tonight (2-8 from 3, 5A/6TO) against GSW continues...

    Doc will see more focus and intensity on defense when coaching on Sunday in the All-Star game than last night. I just rewatched the 4th quarter and the Beasley-Lillard combo is just not competitive on that side of the court. The defensive transition on missed shots or turnovers was horrible...
