Refs give Toronto the game in the final seconds missing a blatant foul on Toronto on a three that would've tied the game. Classic incompetent NBA officiating  ::)

Don't let that distract you from the fact Fred Van Vleet and Kawhi were hitting big time shots... Pacers had 11 points in the 4th Elite defense.

Bad calls are bad calls. They needed to be called out.

At least MEM and SAC are on track to lose and temporarily be the updated #10 and #11 seeds in the WC

SAC pick watch has been very disappointing, MEM not as much with the 1-8 protection.

I think that the Kings and Memphis are going to drop even further, to around 6-10. Probably the Memphis pick is going to be just out of the top 8 protection (don't know if that's a good thing or not). It's so close in the West that I can see the Clippers lose the playoff race, in which pick doesn't convey this season (Edited).

we still have another year on the Clippers pick.

Oh, yes you're right. I really thought this was the last year it could convey as a first rounder. Thanks for correcting me. TP.

No problem, I don't think the Clippers make the playoffs this year, so they really need to be successful over the summer in landing someone like Leonard or it isn't going to convey next year either.  I just don't think they have enough top end to make the playoffs in the west without landing a marquee free agent (or somehow acquiring one in a trade).

93% of Giannis' points come in the paint or at the FT line.

Unbelievable how dominant he has been this year without a jump-shot.

We absolutely need Boston to keep losing!  :P

To me, I think it will be nice even if one of the MEM/SAC picks lands Top-10. Both of them would be sweet without a doubt though  :)

Neither will be Top-5 obviously.

With the new lotto odds smoothing chances out and adding another selected slot, I am not ruling out a top 5 finish for the Sacramento pick anytime soon. An initial placement as 9th best odds still gives you about a 5% chance to land picks 2 through 4 or odds about as good as finishing with the 6th worst record used to give you.

I watch a lot of Doncic and its rare that he doesn't look like the best player on the court.  Insane that he's only 19 y/o.
