E1P going to yet another level with the post-game clips! @Eric, I think you said that finding and collecting in-game and post-game video is a time-consuming step? Makes me wonder if DNHQ could help with that? I'm imagining a shared drop-box of some kind into which relevant clips and links can be poured. Not sure I know where to trawl for these things but could learn. All this winning suggests an Apricot load-management problem. Good problem to have.

I feel like the Warriors have given us a gift.

About a month ago we were hoping to make the playoffs and the reality was we were not good enough to really go anywhere.

Today we are talking about seedlings, an actual shot at winning. Pretty unbelievable turnaround.

Getting JB turned out to be brilliant and the hope of playoff super Jimmy has fans and the team fired up.

Come on now, who really expected Post to be playing at this level now. Podz is looking like a special player again, never going to be a star but he has “it”.

GUI has become a valuable piece. GPII seems to have made a full comeback. MM is finally playing steady minutes. Now if somehow JK can take off….. Steph and DG seem to have turned back the clock.

I think we have an actual chance. I am not betting my house on it because so many things will have to go right, but this is about as good as it gets realistically.

One thing for certain, assuming good health, we will find out how good the young guys are and what the old guys have left in the tank. It is going to be unpredictable and hopefully a lot of fun.

Seeds 3-9 in the East are all within one game of 0.500 over their last ten games, as are Cleveland, Toronto, Charlotte, and Washington. Only Boston (9-1), Miami (0-10), Brooklyn & Philly (2-10) are not.

Clint Capela is really only 31 years old.

He's out for the season with hand injury.

It doesn’t matter who we play- we just have to win.

Took me a minute to understand what the Joe Ingles thing was about. Twolves gave Ingles his first start in 3 years so his autistic son could see him play.

Yeah, in a pretty important game too. Luckily, Zion was out hurt again so they didn't take have to worry

Man, I hadn’t noticed that Toronto was giving JK such little respect on the perimeter. Looks like that’s where they were begging the Warriors to go. He’s 1-for-10 so far since returning, so I guess that makes sense.

The three ball really needs to come around. He needs to at least be able to keep defenses honest when he’s left wide open — like GP, Dray, Podz, and Gui do. Not sure how playable he is in critical moments without that.

Expand full comment

I think he’s just going through a cold streak because he hits 38% of threes when left wide open this season.

Expand full comment

He is simply not playable with our top 3 without a credible “prove it” 3 ball.

Expand full comment

There might be a role for him here, but it’s looking less and less that he can be on the floor with Jimmy and Dray, which would rule out starting or closing…and isn’t worth -$30m per year, I’d think

Well, with Steph injured and the Hawks as the opponent, tonight might be as good a shot as any for him to show out.

Man- that smile and the “part of the crew” comment make me sad because in my heart of hearts, I just can’t see him putting it all together here. As always, hope I’m wrong.

Is the blossoming Jimmy/Buddy bromance the best we've had since JP and Wiggs?!

Deni Doncic dunks the Nuggets and gradually, home court in the first round and facing the Rockets in the 2nd is becoming a real possibility.

I like how far we have come in a month. From not even making the playin, to casually taking a first round victory for granted 😁

This is fun...number of losses:

Houston - 25

Lakers - 26

Nuggets - 27

Grizzlies - 28

Warriors - 29

Clippers - 30

T-Wolves - 31

WC first round is gonna be insane, seeding hardly matters at this point. If you’re OKC, you can’t be content with the possibility of a GS/LAC/Minn first round matchup

Expand full comment

And who's Denver trying to avoid in the first round?

Clippers beat the Grizzlies 128-108

Kawhi looks like he might be back. I want no part of the Clippers in a play in and good luck to whoever plays them in the first round imo.

Expand full comment

Props to Ty Lue (and Ivica Zubac) for stealing enough games early on, when people thought they were a lottery team, to make this late season run matter.

Expand full comment

Yeah, the best case scenario would be that the Clips lose enough games to stay in the play-in and end up as the #8 seed. I think they could give OKC a run for their money.

Blazers beat the Nuggets 128-109

If Warriors stay in 6th we aren't going to know who our first round opponent is until after last game of the season.

Expand full comment

Maybe. Or they might know (slightly) before then. But that’s the same regardless of which seed we end up in.

Expand full comment

Nuggets and Lakers keep swapping spots i mean.

Expand full comment

Right now, yeah. But any of Houston, Memphis, Clips, Warriors, and Wolves could also still end up #3. And the #3-6 matchup could be decided on the last game of the season, or slightly before that. Countless permutations still in play.

Clippers up 96-82 after 3 quarters thanks to a 36-16 3rd Q run.

Suns beat the Cavs 123-112

Cavs are spiraling here

The W’s going 73-9 is maybe the most under-appreciated accomplishment in sports.

It’s a bit surreal to realize that the young center who was damn near breaking blocking records in the Summer League that I became a fan of is now 29 and playing so well. Time flies.

Their next game is against the Jazz. Surely they won't lose to the lowly Jazz, right?

Collin Sexton revenge game!

Suns up 98-79 against the Cavs after 3 quarters. Garland and Mitchell are having a tough time scoring. Durant has 32 points for the Suns, and five of his teammates are in double figures.
