    Yeah, I doubt the season ever seems shorter than it actually is to you.

    yeah, if people are going to post links from behind a paywall they should at least summarize any Blazer news in the article

    Nice find FAMS. But @THE HCP doesn’t need all these fancy numbers to tell him what he can see with his eyes.

    Dumb ending of the night.
    with 27.3 seconds left in the game, ahead by one point, the score at 114 to 113 with 3.2 seconds left on the shot clock, Cleveland calls a time out to inbound the pass from the baseline.

    Cleveland still has one timeout left, but on the inbounds pass Isaac Okoro is called for 5 seconds. Okoro is incredulous. I timed it, yes, 5 seconds had passed.

    the grizzlies then take a 1-point lead on a tip-in by adams off a Morant miss.

    Cleveland still has that timeout but doesn't use it and Garland takes the ball up the court with 16 seconds on the clock.
    Garland uses up 7 seconds just to get to the half court line.
    From the top of the three-point line garland passes it to nearby Caris LeVert, who passes it right back to Garland. Neither player attempts to venture inside the three-point line, even though they are down only 1 point.
    Garland throws up a desperate shot that is blocked by Dillon Brooks.

    Here is Isaac Okoro's expression after committing a 5-second inbound violation at a very bad time: his team was ahead by 1 point with 27.3 seconds left in the game.
    His team had a timeout left, which they ended up not using in their loss in Memphis.

    not sure if Okoro was surprised that there is a 5-second violation, or that 5 seconds had actually passed after the referee had given him the ball (it did, I timed it at 5.7 seconds).
    Wouldn't a normal person be pissed that they had allowed that to happen knowing (I presume) that he had a timeout to use?
    He looks confused to me.

    Joker with another 30 point triple double and the Nuggets just tied this game up with the momentum and less than two minutes remaining.

    Edit: And they pull off the win on a back to back.
