If at the beginning of the season, you had told me the Ws would win 50, I would have been thrilled. Then at the halfway mark, it looked like they might win 60. So the last half of the season felt disappointing. It's totally understandable, given all of the injuries. But it was a bummer.

But objectively, what do I think of their winning 50? I think it's great. But I'll be thrilled if they can catch fire in the playoffs. Win or lose, I just want to see them show out.

Since the Utah game, I’ve been thinking about Rudy Gobert. How is a guy that is such a liability on defense a three time defensive player of the year? In the modern NBA, it feels like it should be a pre-requisite to enter the DPOY contest that you can actually contest a three point shot without getting smoked.

On a night where the 50-win Warriors clinch homecourt in the first round, Isiah lumps them in with the Lakers and Nets as teams struggling to make the play-in.

While ballwashing the mighty Spurs and their budding superstar Dante Murray.

GJGE, Zeke.

Weatherspoon is 3 for 14 from the field, Chiozza 3 for 10, Moody 4 for 12. Rough night for all of them so far as the South Bay Lakers are blowing them out.

Mawugbe looks good though.

EDIT: And so does Jerome Robinson.

If you’re like me and have been predicting and/or hoping Porter is past the stage of wanting to be a starter and big bucks, this Dubs Talk interview with him is must viewing: https://youtu.be/amEiLKXWMZY

lol, Isiah Thomas gives credit for the Spurs' win to "Dante Murray" — presumably meaning DeJounte, who has been out the last three games.

Also called him an "up and coming superstar" despite the fact that he was drafted in 2016.

Lol Westbrook is playing well enough down the stretch that the Lakers may go ahead and convince themselves he's worth keeping around for next season after all!

Moody with 11 points at the half, but left three points at the free throw line. Looked more up to his G-League standard in the second quarter but I think he can still play better in the second half.
