I hear you, but, Buddy Hield, is no comparison to KLAY. I like my figures on his projected value. What he may want to do if he is in charitable mood for the DUBS is another story; after all, they paid him two years while he was healing...

NO letting the Lakers keep their '24 pick? I guess it's Bronny time in LA.

With Phoenix winning vs LAC, I updated the spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11pW_7CuC3PymXAgozEJMBh74H58eicEJTZ-NC_F6QL0/edit

Dubs with a 54% chance of 8th if they win out, the extra 4% coming from the small chance (10%) I’m giving from a Blazers win vs Kings. It basically comes down to the loser of Kings v Pels has to lose their other game v LAL or v Suns

That Clippers 4th quarter reminded me of the Warriors circa December 2023

Nuggets pretty likely to get the #1 seed now. Warriors really gotta get to #8 and win that play in game to avoid them in the first round 🤞

Man, so very sad the gallant Clippers couldn't hold the lead. I was hoping the Suns vets would run out of gas on the back-to-back.

But the Suns look so soft I have concerns about whether they can even beat the Kings.

Well... Suns have won, which means we need to pass either the Kings or the Pels... so basically whoever loses the Pels/Kings game tomorrow. If Kings lose tomorrow, we need them to then lose to the Suns. If Pels lose, we need to beat them and then need them to lose to the Lakers on the last day of the season.

Clippers without their main rotation up 56-55 against the Suns at halftime.

Clippers resting everyone against the Suns, so almost no chance of Suns losing out now.

Wow, Mavs crushing Heat in a game the Heat really want to win.

Playing as a Chris Paul esque point guard in NBA2K MyCareer (great pick and roll scorer/passer along with great defense) . . . I now fucking hate the Warriors.

On the offensive end, we have Steph Curry torturing me having me fight through all these godforsaken screens. On the defensive end, Draymond Green is a fucking shitshow to go against in the pick and roll.

They're blowing me out on a regular basis and there is nothing but hate in my heart.

Steve Kerr on why he thinks the Warriors are playing so well - via 957 the game

https://www.audacy.com/957thegame/sports/golden-state-warriors/steve-kerr-breaks-down-why-warriors-clicking-at-right-time

"I think it's a number of things, guys," Kerr said. "Draymond's return obviously changed our defense after the suspension, but I think when you look at just the overall growth of the team, guys like Jonathan, Brandin, Trayce, Moses, young guys who have progressed and become really important players for us in terms of winning and losing.

That's been huge. And then I just think the vets have helped foster that environment. They've mentor these young guys really well. Having Chris Paul to me, it's such a huge advantage for our group of the non-Steph minutes. I've never been more comfortable with them than I have this year because of Chris. So getting him back from injury but also having him mentoring the younger group.

It's a really, really good group of guys and a well-balanced roster. So we're healthy and knock on wood. Hopefully we'll stay that way."
