Torn ACL for JuJu Watkins.

Expand full comment

Damn, that sucks. She’s young enough where she should make 100% recovery (and be a top pick and WNBA superstar with a max salary) but totally sucks for it to happen during the tourney. 😞

#@*&%% Lakers, SUPPOSEDLY the hardest remaining schedule, but their last 6 games they play:

- Pels (eliminated)

- a baseball series at OKC after Thunder have clinched #1 and may be resting / experimenting

- at Dallas after the Mavs will have very likely been eliminated

- Rockets at home, the only game with implications for the opponent

- at Portland (eliminated)

yeah, a lot of the last two weeks results are going to be distorted by tanking/resting.

Figured the Lakeshow would get a big bump from it.

West #9-11 is super tight:

9. Kings: 35-36

10. Suns: 35-37

11. Mavs: 35-37

There's also the Blazers and the Spurs who are each three games behind the Suns and the Mavs.

I'm sorry, there is just no way I can accept that Benjamin Linus can move an island.

Sure, I can accept polar bears in the jungle, dead people talking, telekinesis, time travel, a monster made of smoke, miraculously healed spinal injuries, a being who is in a cabin but isn't, displacement to the Tunisian desert -- that's all just, you know, the usual.

But moving an island? Now they're straining credulity.

Can’t believe it’s been 15 years since the finale

It ends????

Nooooooooo

No spoilers: however, I felt stupider for having watched that show

Absolutely 💯

Also, forgive me for saying that I fear Severance may be walking down the same path. MUCH smarter premise (and better acting), but boy did the writers feel completely all over the place in season 2, whereby any confidence I had that they knew where things were going is gone.

You sound lost

We're not supposed to be here. We need to go back!

I just finished the golden court. We gonna win the championship 😂

If we win our next six games, which includes 3 bad teams on the road then Memphis, the Lakers, and the Nuggets, there'll be a really good chance we'll already be in 3rd place with 5 games to go!

A big question mark is whether Jokic is back for the Bucks game on Wednesday.

I've been doing mental gymnastics trying to predict things... and then we lose to the depleted Nuggets and the Hawks, and the TWolves lose to the Pels, and the Grizzlies & Lakers take bad losses... Jokic gets injured and when is he coming back? The Rockets win every game after stinking for a while... it's hard to predict these things. I'm just hoping we don't embarrass ourselves tomorrow in Jimmy's return to Miami. Then I hope we can beat the Pels, who seem like they're playing decent ball lately.

I'm not even trying to predict or calculate seeds because it's hopeless for the reasons you cite. I'm taking it a game at a time.

Pels game might be a tricky one, since Pels have a three-day break before they face the Warriors. Plus, they have beaten the Clippers and the Wolves earlier this month, though Zion was mainly the reason why the Pels were able to win those games.

Kings next game is against the Thunder. And the game will be tomorrow night!

Good luck, Sacramento.

Is there a reason we want the Kings to win?

Who said I wanted the Kings to win?

Ah, I mistook the tone of your good luck.

It's getting weirder that the Suns plan to trade KD this summer.

Everything about the Suns is weird

Fair.

Suns beat the Bucks 108-106

Good. I want the Bucks to be pissed off when they roll into Denver.

Suns-Bucks tied at 106 points with 10.7 seconds left.

Booker hits a jumper. Suns up 108-106 with 1.7 seconds left.

Are the Suns about to be the #teamnoonewantstoplay?

They're playing better without Beal and he's due to come back soon.

Once he comes back, you can kiss their hopes goodbye

Getting to a point to no one wants to play anyone

Expand full comment

Definitely nobody wants to play the Bulls!

Expand full comment

This Nuggets loss may be the most important of the night, because getting to the 4th slot isn't really that satisfying if you have to face OKC in round 2.

Time to get greedy!
