    I've always liked Hayward, but these days, every time he goes up I worry what happens when he lands

    They were blown out. Suns are overrated. They'll make the play-in but that's it.

    if being blown out is the gauge you're using, it's only happened to Phoenix once. It's happened to Portland 3 times

    by the way, the Strength of Schedules so far, before tonight:

    Strength of schedule which is basically what both of these stats reflect is bullshit at this point in the season. We've played 5 games against teams who are currently 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 6th in the West, one game against the Kings who are only one game below .500 and four teams that are struggling. I don't know what is going on with Toronto (did they have a bunch of COVID missed games?) but I doubt they will be dragging our SOS down at the end of the season.

    What happened to Brandon Knight? Is he out of the league? I was trying to look him up but I don’t think he’s on a team.

    those numbers were prior to the Toronto game

    and for fuck sakes....maybe we need a SCOTUS ruling on when it's OK to use any numbers from this season....March 11? Of course all the numbers right now are small sample size. Everybody knows that I'm thinking

    I was posting those two 'rankings' in response to somebody saying Phoenix is mediocre because they got blown out last night. If you'll notice, I showed just enough of those two rankings to have Portland and Phoenix included

    I think the guy he pushes down must have bought a little something at “Drug Mart”.

    Trying to simply get him to move outside of the circle. The ref was sitting there waiting and telling him to move but it wasn't happening?

    I don't even know? But it's mesmerizing to watch the stupidity.

    I’m sure you’re right. I just thought it was funny how the guy falls on his butt from a little nudge. He must have flopping down to an art form.

    From the article:

    “Because testing was less available and there were higher rates of false positives early in the pandemic, there is some level of uncertainty as to how many players had true positive cases early in 2020, especially during the league's three-month shutdown.

    It is possible that some players who tested positive for the virus but were asymptomatic months ago were false positives.”

    yeah, that's probably the likely cause

    but the other possibilities are concerning, or at least mostly concerning. The good news could be anti-bodies lasting longer? The bad news could actually be that a person can contract Covid multiple times
