Not surprised that Logo Lillard took a game off the Lake Show. I *am* surprised the Magic took a game off the Bucks.

I am starting to think that the Bubble games being played all on the same courts is a factor in the Lakers' struggles and the seemingly neverending Dame Time. LA can't seem to get comfortable whereas Dame has a feel for the court and is comfortable launching from everywhere as if it's his home court.

Honestly, I think the Lakers could benefit a lot from playing Quinn Cook.

We've got two upsets today so far: Magic beat the Bucks, and Heat beat the Pacers. I wonder how Game 1 of the Rockets-Thunder and the Lakers-Blazers game will be like?

Oh no Bucks are blowing it!

Vucevic has made Jameer Nelson proud today for Orlando. I was so sure about the whole "no upsets" thing

So, four weeks puts him available right around when the Eastern Conference Finals should be starting. I'm sure both he and the team are doing everything possible to (safely) bring him back ASAP, but this puts a TON of pressure on Boston to handle business without one of their best players.
