Clippers (6-4 last 10, currently 7th seed)planting that play-off flag on the chest of their opponents. Good for them.

19 - 20 games left...

Spurs slipped to 8th seed (3-7 last 10). Can Pops right that ship? Kings .500 and 3 games back of Spurs.

Thunder, Blazers, Rockets fighting to get #3 seed to avoid the tough #4/#5 match up. Good stuff!!! With Clint Capella back, I could see Rockets getting to #3 seed.

I think Giannis is easy MVP as Bucks lead league in wins.

They traded Harris for squat this year. We you the only man on earth that thought they weren't? Everyone did until Balmer got interviewed 2 weeks later and said they weren't.

I mean I said on page 2 I didn't think they were and only dealt Harris because the package was too good to be true.

It doesn't matter if there were 50 games to go.
They're just not very good.

Last night Jazz loss to Pelicans really hurts them as they are challenging to stay better than the #7 seed. PHoenix has won 2 games in a row somewhat aiding Knicks and Bulls in the Zion quest. If the Wolves don't get Zion, I hope he goes to the East and takes over Beast of the East crown.

#2 seed Nuggest lose 3 in a row while #3 seed Houston has won 6 in a row. Houston 3 back of Denver. Denver will need that home court advantage in the semis.

Timberwolves are now one game ahead of Lakers. LOL LOL!!!!

The current 8 seed, San Antonio, is seven games over .500. The Wolves have only been over .500 once this season, when they beat Charlotte on December 5 (13-12) only to relinquish the position by losing to Portland on December 8 (13-13). Based on their current patterns, we could expect them to go 10-8 for a final record of 40-42 (Vegas Closed: 42, Vegas Opened: 44.5).

Remaning Opponents < .500: 6
Remaining Opponents ≥ .500: 12

Home: 10
Away: 8

B2B: 4

3-Game Road Trips: 1

3-Game Home Stand: 1
4-Game Home Stand: 1

Next 8 (Current Record):

@Detroit (31-31) (B2B)
Washington (26-37)
New York (13-51) (B2B)
@Denver (42-21)
@Utah (36-27)
@Houston (39-25)
Golden State (44-20)
@Charlotte (29-34)

Opponents < .500: 3
Opponents ≥ .500: 5

Final 10 (Current Record):

@ Memphis (26-40)
LAC (37-29)
GSW (44-20)
Philadelphia (41-23) (B2B)
Portland (39-25)
@Dallas (27-36)
Miami (29-34)
OKC (39-25)
Toronto (46-19)
@Denver (42-21) (B2B)

Opponents < .500: 3
Opponents ≥ .500: 7

Winner/Fighter = Tyus

Ask Teague the same question and he would say: Who gives a shit. I miss Jimmy.

Teague is an unmitigated disaster, just like every other fucking thing Thibbs touched.

I wasn't entirely sure they'd make the playoffs... but I said I don't think they're tanking. Philly blew them away for Harris, a guy they could resign this summer (Don't think they will but...)
