OT: I just watched Celebrity Jeopardy and this clue came up under the category 5 Slices of Pi: "He puts the'3' in 3.14; this NBA star and all-time 3-point leader was born on 3/14/1988."

So Wolves lost and Grizz lost. LAL beat the Nuggets. Suns won. :-( Amazingly, Kings beat Cleveland.

All around, I'll damn well take it!

When you see it. Multiple 15 game win streaks don't count for much these days.

I... don't see it. What are we supposed to see?

Expand full comment

Cleveland is now behind OKC despite having 2 15+ game win streaks

Expand full comment

Ha, well... 2x 15+ game win streaks < 8x 7 game winning streaks... OKC has also had lots of winning streaks.

Expand full comment

True but they're in different conferences so it doesn't affect seeding.

Just in case no one posted yet: Timpf's breakdown of Dubs' defense last night:

Question: Does QP have the quickest release among big men in the league? Does he have the best 3P shot overall?

Expand full comment

I think he just might have the quickest release but the other quick release and best shot has to be KAT. His flat footed form looks bad but the results cannot be argued with

Expand full comment

KAT is pretty quick, but release is a bit low, too.

WTH - wolves (40-31) have played two extra games as compared to Dubs (40-29) or Clippers (39-30)

Suns back in #10 slot tied with Mavs with Blazers only 2 back.

Here's the Suns next 10:

vs CLE

vs MKE

vs BOS

@ MIN

vs HOU

@ MKE

@ BOS

@ NYK

vs GS

vs OKC

Brutal!

Expand full comment

Boston, OKC, and the Knicks may be resting guys by then. Still, that's an insane gauntlet.

Also, I'm guessing MKE is MIL?

Expand full comment

They have the toughest remaining SOS of the season.

Expand full comment

Tough loss for Heat tonight - Cunningham banks in a 3 with less than a second left.

Raise your hand if you thought the Blazers would have a better record than the Heat.

Expand full comment

They've lost 9 in a row now. Huh.

Expand full comment

Updated Loss Counts:

25 losses: HOU, LAL

26 losses: DEN (I really wish they could've won vs. DEN and lost vs. MIL)

27 losses: MEM

29 losses: Dubs

-----

30 losses: Clipps (they own the tiebreak)

31 losses: Wolves

Wow. The Wolves only play four games while the Clippers get in six, with four on the road? Yikes...

Expand full comment

Do Clips have makeup games from the fire?

Expand full comment

I don't know, but that makes a lot of sense.

Expand full comment

This week is all about trap games.

Grizzlies lost to the Kings and the Blazers who have a worse record than them.

Warriors lost to the Nuggets without Jokic, Braun, and Murray.

Bucks lost to the Warriors without Curry.

Cavs lost to the Clippers without Powell and the Kings without Sabonis, LaVine, and LaRavia.

Wolves lost to the short-handed Pacers and the Pels.

Timpf said something in his latest update, which, btw, has a lot of juicy Dubs commentary re: Dray and their D last night.

He said, "Eh, it's March." This is the month where there's lots of ups and downs b/c it's a long ass season, and players are getting tired.

Expand full comment

And that's why they play the games :)

Expand full comment

So the Warriors have to keep winning because Memphis is falling and the Clips are rising. Yeah. Great.

Expand full comment

Clips have some tough games coming up

Expand full comment

we always had to keep winning

Expand full comment

Do we want MEM or LAC to win their game on Fri?

Expand full comment

Mem for now. Lol.

Expand full comment

I'll take LAC on that. But it's one of those games where if it were possible for both teams to lose...

Expand full comment

Yeah… knock the Clips down is def better, but the other side doesn’t suck either.

Expand full comment

Blazers beat the Grizzlies 115-99

Expand full comment

Is it just me, or is Avdija becoming a beast?

Expand full comment

Grizzlies scored only 10 points in the 4th Q!

Expand full comment

with 5 of those in the last minute!

Expand full comment

JJJ, Bane, and Pippen Jr. were shut out by the Blazers defense in the 4th

Expand full comment

Curious.
