    I could kiss the Pacers right on the mouth, Wes Matthew was left completely alone and sauntered right up for an easy OR and layed it back up. Beautiful comeback win.

    Wes is my favorite Blazer ever, I just loved watching the fire he played basketball with. I love that he beat OKC!

    I see about 10 people beat me in announcing Pacers unexpected win. Hopefully Dallas hangs on against Denver.

    big win for Denver after looking like they were going to lose all night

    they do look a little shaky as the pressure mounts to close the season.

    Denver game was a bummer as an off balanced flip shot by Jokic goes in at the buzzer. That would have nicely opened the door.

    No way they threw the game last night. Doncic scored an And One thunderous dunk with 5 seconds left and his free throw was in and out. No way you could purposely do that.

    Ok but the Houston game? They were down 1 with 8 seconds and didn’t call timeout to advance the ball. Very suspicious.

    The patience of Damian Lillard
    In a league that is almost more melodrama than basketball competition, this dude is an absolute rock. Lillard has never missed more than nine games in a season. He has logged between 35.4 and 36.6 minutes per game for six seasons running. Every damn year, he averages around 26 points and seven assists on 37 percent-ish shooting from deep. He does not have down years.

    He gets a little craftier with the ball every season -- more patient reading defenses, and smarter manipulating them.

    Jusuf Nurkic's screen, and pin him on the sideline. Lillard draws them out further, waits until Nurkic blockades Russell Westbrook, and then zooms where he wants to go -- toward the middle, with Steven Adams trailing. From there, it's spin, hesitation dribble, crossover, pull up in your face.

    LeBron and the Lakers[/paste:font][​IMG]
    The Lakers' season is close to over. What's next?

    • Lowe: LeBron vs. MJ implications
    • Next three steps for the Lakers
    • Will LeBron ever pass Kareem?
    • This front office needs a new approach



    Lillard wilted against New Orleans' trapping scheme in last season's playoffs. He dissects the Thunder's pressure here with icy calm.

    Lillard heads up four of the league's 40 most efficient pick-and-roll combinations, per Second Spectrum. The Blazers have scored 1.12 points per possession when Lillard shoots out of the pick-and-roll or dishes to a teammate who lets fly -- tops among all high-volume ball handlers.

    The playoffs will test him again. Right now, Lillard looks ready.

    With as much as this man is known for scoring. It's amazing that this was his first buzzer beating shot of his 14 year NBA career.
