Boston taking its foot off the pedal like we did in final month last season. They have the 1-seed and best overall NBA record sewn up, so have home court advantage throughout the playoffs. They’re just trying to be healthy going into the playoffs. Hence Hawks win two games. No that's not true. If you're pulling the break you're not playing your super star player 45 minutes and other injury prone players 40 minutes. They played both games with "win or die" mentality and they lost both. Only dumb organization would tank those games but still play starters over 40 minutes |

Thunder playing full strength Suns minus SGA. No way I see them winning.
A huge chance today to take a 1.5 game at the top of the West.

Their bench is 6/7 from 3. They really do have incredible depth.
Meanwhile our bench has barely hit 6 3pters since the All Star Break.
This matters in the regular season but won't be anywhere near the same issue come the playoffs.

Just goes to show how silly the SGA MVP takes are.

Yup. We are the 3 seed. The last 72 hours have been a disaster Jokic had an awkward fall in final two minutes tonight in a lost cause. Tonight could have been worse. Much worse. |

Tough game for OKC today at NY.
Minny need to watch out for a let down game vs the Bulls who play hard.

Luka with 32/8/5 at half. If there were 20 games left in the season he'd be a lock for MVP over Jokic. Mavs are easily the scariest team in the West right now.

I think it's more likely they make the WCF than lose in Round 1. They're still starting two defensive Facus in their backcourt. And those 2 are surrounded by 3 very good defenders. As I've said all year long, the way you're going to beat the Nuggets is to outscore them. Dallas can do that. Phoenix can do that. No other team can. Those are your threats. |

This isn't the NCAA tournament, that strategy won't work in a 7 game series. |

Dallas has no chance at defending Jokic. Jamal would also feast. Still, you have to respect the talent of Doncic/Irving.
It could be a Suns style series where an offensive player catches fire and takes 2-games off of Denver.
Regardless, the Twolves are much more dangerous.
