    LeBron and DLO are game-time decisions. That…is not encouraging.

    Yeah. It would suck if one of them is out...but it would really REALLY SUCK if both of them are out.

    For the Bulls, Drummond is out. Caruso is in.

    Clippers and Warriors are going to jockey for that 6 seed to play the Kings rather than the Suns. It’s a dangerous game considering Minnesota is right behind them and falling to 7 is pretty risky.

    Detroit managed to find a way to lose a game that was pretty much in the bag.

    Good win today for us. Just play well, and it doesn’t matter what other teams do. OKC almost lost against Detroit, by the way.

    So OKC gets the sheer-luck put back to win and Russ/RoCo/Bones go 16/18 from three to beat the Grizzlies. Now Jokic is going to sit against the Pelicans tomorrow. It’s just ridiculous lol.

    Friday's game in Minny is going to be huge.

    Even from a psychological standpoint, if we end up playing them in the play-in, we'll get a nice upper hand if we beat them on their turf.

    If we win on Friday I think this team is going to have a lot of confidence going into April.

    Yep, good night for us overall despite a couple things going the opposite way such as OKC's win. We're in the 8th spot, Lebron and Dlo are back, Minny just lost and is only 1/2 game ahead in the 7th spot. GS only 1 1/2 games ahead in the sixth.

    Honestly as long as we win, don't matter what anybody else does.

    But it helps that the Suns beat the Wolves tonight and the Mavs also lost. Sure, Thunder won tonight on a BS putback but I expected them to win, SGA or not. The Clippers winning was what shocked me...without PG/Kawhi and on the road against a pretty red hot Grizzlies team. However as soon as I saw JJ, Bane and Tyus Jones all out...I had a weird feeling that the Clippers would somehow win this game. Let's see if Grizzlies will play their guys on Friday and if Kawhi is going to play as well. I feel like the Grizz took the Clippers easy tonight....they won't if Kawhi plays on Friday.

    Such a huge game on Friday...it's going to have that playoff feel to it. AD/Bron going to have their hands full against Gobert/KAT/Reid/McDaniels frontline. Also, this is the D-Lo revenge game. A lot of talk about how the WOlves are so much better without him and that Conley is way better for them. Maybe that's true, but he's been amazing for us and I hope he busts their a**** on Friday.

    We could have been in the 4th even with all the crap we went through. The West is crazy open this season.

    Let's see if this team can stay hungry or will go back to hibernation again at Sota
