How do you think he should be refereed then? He's going to get some calls due to his strength , quickness and athleticism.
As someone with some SMU affiliation I can't not report on Shake Milton tying the NBA record for consecutive 3s made. Between his last two game he had a streak of 13 consecutive makes which ended during his career high 39 point effort in the 76ers' loss to the Clipper earlier
Usually I am not the biggest fan of their videos but I think they did a good job to explain how the new Rocket system works. I think RoCo would have turned the Mavs into a contender as well but the ship has sailed. Since the Capela-RoCo trade RW hasn´t shot under 50% from the field even once. He has more space than he ever had in his career and can attack 1vs1 without any help defense.
Meanwhile RoCo is anchoring the defense better than Capela ever did. His shot blocking numbers are unreal for a player of his size. Right now he is looking like prime Ben Wallace. Averaging 13/8 with nearly 3 blocks per game. He had 3+ blocks in his last 6 games and that includes him blocking 7`1 Rudy Gobert 3x in the same game. Making a late effort for DPOY.

Rox getting run out by NY. But Harden has 18 points on only 3-11 shooting. He has 12 made FTs. Is 0-7 on 3’s. How does he get so many FTs when Russ drives in traffic and has 2 FT attempts? I despise Rox and Hardens game. Like Russ. But still hope they lose games.

Fun game in OKC tonight LAC are here with lots of subplots:
The normal PG13 plot. He lost last time they played here without KL. He just opened up a new fishing dock here yesterday, goodwill from his playing days here (he is an avid fisherman).
CP3 having played for Clippers
Patrick Beverley is one of the most hated opposing players fans still not over him taking out Russ knee in playoffs the year we had what I think is one of our better chances to win it all. Ironically he played for Houston at the time now Russ is there. Russ was clearly calling a timeout and Pat came running in from distance and roughed up his knee, knocked him out of playoffs. Fans hate him lol
Reggie Jackson is another despised “former” player. He thought he should be starter lol. None of players liked him. Adams even mentioned him in his book and Adams gets along with everyone.
SGA and Gallo came from Clippers in the PG trade so have lots to prove.
We got many picks from the trade.
So many plots and subplots when these 2 play should be a fun game. Thunder well rested after that franchise worst loss to Bucks last Fri. Clippers favored by 3.

If players can take injury management days off coaches can take coaching stress management days too right?
i would love to see it mandatory that each team sideline (for rest) every coach for 4 games per year. Let assistants coach. Mainly just so we could see how our assistants do anything different and how our players respond to them. Would be a fun experiment
Tim should list Pop as DNC - Old
We are all just along for the ride. Clippers got all the critical calls even tho comfortably ahead. Its obvious the NBA wants Clippers/Lakers WCF. No need to move TV crews either. They also want NO vs LAL first round.
The rest if us are just fodder. I look at Mavs with a budding star in Luka and he gets no calls and he gets no hype. The hype is all LA teams and Zion. The rest of us are just resigned to enjoy our reg season and be happy for around of playoffs.
Pels suffered a tough loss at home to Minny, now they go to Dallas, on a B2B. Boston blew a 21 pt lead to the Nets, and lose in OT at home, 129-120 behind Caris Levert's career high 51 pts. He scored 37 pts in the 4th qtr and OT to bring them back. Nets scored a franchise record 51 pts in the 4th qtr. Bad night for Boston, who is a pretty good defensive team, to give up a lead like that.

What is so rough there? You have Detroit, NYK, Minny, Was, Mem, Atl, Cha, GSW which should mostly be easy wins, perhaps with a surprise loss or two. This is 6-8 wins in 13 games. Difficult games are just against Boston, Utah, Denver*2, Miami. So only 5 dificult games.

My guesses:
LAC loss
BOS loss
Jazz Loss
Min/Was/Mem/Atl 1-2 losses
Den loss
Mia Loss
Den loss
Thats 6-8 or 7-7 in Mar. Those easy games are mostly road. Bazeley still out.
I think Mavs will have a better Mar record and pass us
The Detroit Pistons' rough season has taken another turn for the worse.
Point guard Derrick Rose has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 ankle sprain. He'll undergo treatment and be reevaluated in two weeks but it's likely that Rose won't play again this season.
Thunder escaped with a win at Detroit, 114-107 over the rebuilding Pistons. Detroit actually played well to the end. Christian Wood is going to make some money, this off season. He's played extremely well for them, since the Drummond trade. Detroit better keep him. ThunderMav, who is that Dort guy, and what happened to Roberson?
