Jamal Murray out for the season RIP Denver's 2020-2021 season That's a shame,I thought that's what was gonna be the outcome but I was hoping I was wrong. This could've been their best shot at the title,they was looking great since the trade deadline. |

They were my pick to win the West. Lakers just caught a break. Smdh I still thought Lakers would make it out of the West but I thought Denver would be their biggest competition. Now I guess the Clippers are the only one I see having a chance against them especially with them not falling down farther. I was thinking they might've failed out of the top 6 and have to play in the play in games but last I looked they was 5th and 3 or 4 games up on Dallas with AD and LeBron coming back in the next handful of games. If they stay there they'll get a Murray-less Nuggets team in the first and most likely Utah in the second. |

I think the Jazz are legit only if Spidah doesn't do a ton of hero ball and they play as a complete team. |

I might be a little biased but I would give the edge to Phoenix in a series with Utah but imo they are really close. I'm just worried that Phoenix pretty much has no playoff experience besides couple of players that's the reason I'm putting the Clippers above them. I just don't see anybody competing with the Lakers if they're 100% but if they're not I think the West could be wide open nomatter what I think the playoffs are gonna be fun. |

Too bad the Warriors blew out OKC, Steph might’ve had a shot to tie Klay’s 14 made 3’s in a game.

It’d be dope if they won the West |

Lolmarcus How does this make the nets better? It's really depth at this point. LaMarcus isn't a great defender but is a veteran, and probably better than running your low bench options. Him/DeAndre/Blake/Claxton running the 4/5 when the team is healthy is going to be hard for some teams to defend. Their best plan of attack is to run you down and out with offense, and then they'll play alright defense to keep themselves in games. Retired now due to health scare |

Hope Aldridge's health is ok, I was a big fan of his when he was in Portland.

Hope Aldridge's health is ok, I was a big fan of his when he was in Portland. Me too, sad news but it obviously was a difficult decision. I always appreciated guys like him and Tim Duncan, etc. Bigs who were fundamentally sound and well rounded. I really enjoy watching that style of basketball. |

I'm glad Phoenix is getting the wins but it worries me they do it consistently by such small margins. I think after last night's win they've won something like 33 of the last 40 but 90% of the times the games are within 5 points. It wouldn't worry me if they had more veterans with playoff experience but besides CP3 and Crowder they are dangerous low in that area. Congrats to Paul for getting on the top 5 list for steals,I know he's always been good but the guy has numbers that I didn't think he had.

Highly entertaining GS/BOS game. Steph and Tatum were ridiculous. Steph rolling his ankle in the 4th didn’t slow him down either. GS just couldn’t close it out, and Boston did. Draymond missed what would’ve been a tying layup and then Walker hit a three to go up 5.

The GS/Bos,Utah/LaL and Mia/Bkn games were great the last couple days. Tatum and Curry was incredible I was hoping for some ot to see them keep going at each other. Don't remember the guy's name but the one that got hurt going for the ball was a great play hope the Warriors signs him to a regular contract.
Embarrassing loss by Phoenix last night,I was thinking it was time for them to screw up and loss to a bad team but wasn't expecting that to a team with their best players out. One good thing happened from the game Booker became the 5th youngest to reach 9000 points(LBJ,KD,Carmella,Kobe).I'm glad he's finally getting some of the recognition he deserves.

As awesome as it is to see Steph doing what he's doing right now, it also makes me sad knowing that it's largely all for naught. They're an average team that may or may not make it through the play-in playoffs and then get smacked around by Utah or whoever in the first round if they make it. Damn you, Klay's Achilles.

Bucks/Suns game was incredible,don't know what the he// the ref seen at the end of the 4th and wasn't A great call at the end of ot but I'm just happy Phoenix sneaked out with the win. With the games they got ahead(Phil,Bkn,Bos,NY,Utah,LAC) in the next two weeks they needed to start off like this to get the bad taste of the Spurs game out of their mouths. Another nice milestone for CP3 moving in the top 5 all time assists.
Curry is unbelievable right now,wouldn't surprise me if they knocked out one of those top seeds in the first round if they get through the play in and Steph keeps this going.

I wonder if he'll get himself legitimately into the MVP conversation. I don't see why not. He's been great all year, but he's just turned it up even more this month. I'll have to check the stats but he very well may have passed Beal in PPG now. It was close when I was looking last week.

Curry is unbelievable, but Golden State's ceiling is pretty low. It wouldn't shock me if they won one of the play in games, but they're not a good team. If I'm a GS fan, I'd prefer them to miss the playoffs and get a decent lottery pick rather than lose in the play in game or 1st round. |

I don't think Steph can keep up the pace he's been on but if he does I can see them getting through the first round but GS is one of those odd teams where they can get on a hot streak and compete with anybody or lose 5 in a row to teams like Houston and Minnesota. With how good Dallas and Memphis has played its gonna be really hard to even get out of the play in games. Seems like everything gonna come down to who can get and stay healthy,I don't think i remember a time so many top players have went down. |

Whatever happens is gonna happen regardless of what I might think is better for them, so might as well root them on as long as they are still playing. And for the record, all the teams that lose the play-in games will be eligible for the lottery.
Also, I just want to see my man play. It's fun to watch even if they lose handily and he goes for 30-35.
