    End of season for Pelicans. They had to win tonight. No matter how many times the NBA changes the rules, they can’t get Zion in the playoffs. They need to be patient. LeBron didn’t get into playoffs his first two years either.

    Magic lost another guard. Rookie Devin Cannady. Compound fracture of his right ankle defending against Edmond Sumner(who also took out Donovan Mitchell)

    Nate the Great......I remember fans including me were on the get rid of Nate bandwagon and he since bounced around with a some success. Started back as an assistant then Pacers head coach where he really did ok and they probably regret losing him now as his Hawks are kicking ass. How much of their success is Nates coaching versus having the right players that play the game? Remember, he took over when they changed coaches mid stream and the team had several injury issues.

    More Oak. "Best thing since sliced cheese" is the best Oak-ism since "if it ain't broke, don't break it"

    Grizz and Mavs lose. We could get 6th back tomorrow if Warriors beat Dallas.

    My, my. My man, Wenyen, got his first significant playing time, as Steven Adams was out. 4 for 7 in 18 minutes, 2 for 3 from the three, 1 steal, 1 block 2 assists (ok,ok, only 1 rebound). NO beats Clipppers.

    Was that tonight? Because he has done the same thing in other games recently. He makes a bad pass, is taken out, and doesn't reappear.

    Don't worry... Dallas, Memphis, Golden State and San Antonio all have way easier schedules than we do the rest of the way and will all be working their asses off to climb in the West. We will end up in the play-ins we likely will not win our way into the playoffs and you will have your precious late late lottery pick or we'll defy the odds and win a top pick in the lottery. Regardless, I hope we draft someone with an agreement to trade them to a team that will help us upgrade a position to get us wins during Dame's window because I still haven't given up on that.

    Exactly. At the very least it’s an asset we can pair with Cj or nurk, or something. My point is we get something for participating in this disaster of a season. SOMETHING. There is absolutely no need to see Dame get demolished in the playoffs once again.

    No, you're right. Someone tweeted a clip of another game where he halfheartedly walks out to get a pass and then rifles it at a teammate's ankles ... that was the Thunder game. The inbounds bounce was against the Raptors last night.

    Dang. That's crazy.
