I was curious regarding our payroll vs. other teams. Specifically, I wanted to see what percent of a team's payroll is dedicated to each player. I created some pie charts for the top 4 teams in each conference plus BKN and LAL.
Most teams have at least two big pie slices that account for 40%+ of total salary. PHI has the biggest pairing with Harden and Harris accounting for 49.7% of the team's payroll -- Steph and Klay account for 47%.
MEM and DAL are notable for not have "big" slices. They have a bunch of "medium+" slices and their stars (Ja and Luka) account for only ~9% of their respective team's payroll.
The Dubs are similar to MIA, PHI, and BKN in that our top 4 salaries account for about 3/4ths of the pie.
Oh and none of this accounts for the luxury tax... it's just the salary paid to players.
Jazz's next game is at home against the struggling Lakers. After that, they face the Warriors.
Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but I think the Warriors have a chance at beating Utah this Saturday. The Jazz may be a tough team, but they've been struggling lately.
The Clippers have a legit damn team with everybody back healthy. Overstocked with talented playmaking wings combined with shooters and 2 legit big men. They have the personnel to counter a lot of lineups that the league has to offer. If they don't naturally Clipper it up next year they're poised to finally meet Larry

They keep showing Lakers games on TV, in spite of their losing streak. Tonight Lakers game was on TNT instead of the Bucks-Philly game. Lol!
Lakers remaining schedule:
3/31- @ Jazz
4/1- vs. Pelicans
4/3- vs. Nuggets
4/5- @ Suns
4/7- @ Warriors
4/8- vs. Thunder
4/10- @ Nuggets
Jazz remaining schedule:
3/31- vs. Lakers
4/2- @ Warriors
4/5- vs. Grizzlies
4/6- vs. Thunder
4/8- vs. Suns
4/10- @ Blazers
Nuggets remaining schedule:
3/30- @ Pacers
4/1- vs. Timberwolves
4/3- @ Lakers
4/5- vs. Spurs
4/7- vs. Grizzlies
4/10- vs. Lakers
I will definitely take that 4th seed and the Jazz (but not the Nuggies) first round.
Jazz's next game is at home against the struggling Lakers. After that, they face the Warriors.
Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but I think the Warriors have a chance at beating Utah this Saturday. The Jazz may be a tough team, but they've been struggling lately.
Clippers beat the Jazz 121-115. Jazz has now lost five games in a row in their road trip and are 45-31 and tied with the Nuggets.
Thank you Clips for giving us one more game separation margin

Utah's having trouble with the Clippers right now despite shooting over 55%.
Side note: I’m amazed at the shit talking the Grizzlies are doing right now, acting like they won something already.
Dillon Brooks throwing shade at Dre and talking about how they’re building a dynasty…
Motherfucker you haven’t won a playoff series yet, sit down and shut your ass up
GSW should learn from SCW. (Mentality)
They stay alive in playoff race.

Is Iggy healthy enough to play some minutes? Haven't seen anything on why he couldn't sit down during the post game
