    Loss to Dallas at home. Dame dropped 47 or so but Doncic and the Mavs are just far superior.

    Would love for the blazers to ruin this but we know they won't.

    Lilliard was on fire

    Amazing game

    Blazers have looked like a 6-8 seed since acquiring Ariza and getting CJ healthy. Gary Trent Jr has been a serviceable replacement to Seth Curry. Bunch of veterans and Dame playing his best basketball. Kind of liking this roster better than last year's but there isn't any room for a losing steak at this point.

    All Ariza does is make teams better

    Dame w/ 51, 9/15 from 3 to bury the Jazz and overrated ass Rudy and Mitchell.

    The best (and most efficient) stretch I can remember in the nba. Guys have gone off over 7 straight games before, but can’t remember any who did it shooting >60% and averaging 10+ assists during it.

    A lot harder to do what Dame is doing them when harden goes 13-37 every game in his hot stretches

    Dame is on a crazy run. 99 points in a back to back. 22 assists. 2 turnovers. That’s insane.

    It would be nice if Houston or OKC would start collapsing because otherwise this is going to be Portland and San Antonio fighting for the 8 seed down the stretch. Who knows if Memphis and Phoenix will stay in contention.

    Great win against the Spurs tonight. 3rd and final game of the season against them. Trent Jr 6/7 from 3 to break it open down the stretch.

    Crucial stretch here now with the next 3 at Utah, Miami at home, and then 8th place Memphis.

    Rockets not playing a single guy over 6’7 and beating LA is intriguing. Say what you want about them, at least Morey and Dantoni are always open to trying anything.

    LA has three bigs which is almost as unusual today. It would be an interesting series

    Lakers need better defense outside. They have the paint on lockdown

    Lakers have also hit a bit of a skid

    Fuck back in Utah tonight already? Don't see a win here. Then again fuck Utah and everything that state stands for. PDX microbrew and a "soda" just out of principal. Fuck them.

    I think the Rockets are better than they have been in the past. They will get a center like Tristan Thompson once guys get bought out. It’s hard to believe in a D’Antoni team, but I think they have a chance to make noise. Still hard to see anyone but the LA teams winning the West.

    I wouldn’t want to play Denver in a 7 game series (altitude!?!).

    Jokic played awful the first 6 weeks, they’ve been racked by injuries (millsap, Murray, grant) the last 6 weeks, and they’re somehow still a half game out of 2nd.
