They even played defense at the end!

That was a sight to behold....Lebron and KD doubling teaming Stef. He had no chance.

i recorded the game and the DVR missed the last 2 minutes ugh

 

[trainingrules]

Was a bit annoyed that Jimmy Butler didn't play a single minute! Why sit on the bench only to tell the coach 'Na, I don't wanna play." I wanted to see Buckets out there.

Looks like Mark Cuban had one of the worst days ever yesterday.

didn't he say he was really sick? i seem to recall them mentioning that at least once that he was really under the weather

Lebron now the only player with 30,000 points, 8,000 assists, and 8,000 rebounds. He's pretty much made the Hall of Fame twice. Cut his stats in half and that gets players into the HoF.

It's fair to say he is the most unique player in history.

Lakers looking great since the break. Good test tonight at San Antonio. Would love to see what they do with the 8th seed but I think they started too slow to make the cut.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

The Cavs look like crap again.

 

[ComicChick]

Great game between Boston and Houston last night.

 

[Poetic Chaos]

LonzGOAT came to win last night.

 

[ComicChick]

that's the first time i've ever heard him called that. is that a thing now?

 

[Immortalfire]

It makes no sense, and isn't very phonetic.

Kobe Bryant: Oscar winner

 

[Lantern Venom]

The Pelicans have revamped the team since Boogie's injury and they're playing their best ball of the season. It would be enjoyable to win a playoff series this year. I've forgotten what that feels like.

 

[trainingrules]

LonzGOAT... huh?

And good for Kobe. Another thing to win! Kobe 4 Prez

[Quasar]

Haha! The Pacers have a better record than the Cavs!

R.I.P. Tom Benson. NOLA fans are indebted to you for keeping the NBA in the city.

LeBron destroyed Jokic!

 

[JeetKuneDo]

So why does it feel like the Warriors are getting all these injuries at the perfect time?

Looks like it will result in everyone getting a nice rest before the playoffs and they all come back just in time to knock the rust off. They even get the benefit of lowered expectations. Instead of "Will the Warriors lose a game in route to another ring?" It will be "Can the Warriors beat the Rockets?"

Yeah...I'm not buying it. When the Warriors get playoff injuries like their opponents usually do I'll say they are in trouble.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Durant and Steph could be playing. They aren't. They will take their time. Once they lost that game without Steph a week or two back, they stopped worrying about seeding.
