    The Nets were up 16 on the Clippers in the 4th, but then things got ugly. Every Net started missing shots from every conceivable angle. Even big man Claxton hoarfed up a brick from deep. Brooklyn couldn't score at all in final 5 minutes. The Clippers won with a 22-0 run.

    I think I jinxed them. Or maybe they stink.

    According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Clippers' 22-0 run to close the game was tied for the longest unanswered scoring run to close a game in the last 25 seasons. It happened twice before in that span, including another Clippers effort, back on Nov. 11, 2009. against the Memphis Grizzlies.

    I want Ant to go to Orlando and I want Malcolm to go to Miami. Send them both to Florida and find a new home for Jerami too. I think all three should fetch extremely solid value right now.

    Karl-Anthony Towns has the most toxic contract in the NBA. Minnesota is in ruins. Their entire Front Office should be fired.

    Spurs still hanging around, they're tagging a bunch of shots.

    Sadly I don’t think the Blazers even know what the hell they’re doing. Do Jody, Bert and Joe have a plan? They probably thought they could trade Dame, draft Scoot and still be a quality playoff team.

    Toronto down 7 to banged up Grizzlies at halftime. Legit tank implications on the line.

    I'm assuming the one thing Joe does know how to do is trade win now talent for picks, prospects and contract filler. If we end up keeping either of Malcolm or Jerami then I'll agree with you that they have no clue what they're doing.

    Ant is a different story. If we keep Ant it will be symptomatic of a problem our FO has had for a long time. Ant is a bad fit with our other young talent and our coach's system but that's never kept us from holding onto a guy for way too long.

    KAT is filling it up tonight. Only a couple minutes into the second half and he has 46 points on 18 shots.

    So Embiid just put up 70 points in his game but KAT is now at 53 with over 20 minutes left to play in his game.
