Well this Saturday's CAR/TB game just got even more interesting.

If Carolina wins, they are in the playoffs. If Tampa Bay wins, then they also need to be Saints fans and root for New Orleans against Atlanta on Sunday to get in the playoffs. This is because the Falcons just beaten the Rams tonight (shockingly).

If Atlanta beats New Orleans, then Carolina goes into the playoffs regardless of CAR/TB outcome.

Crazy, crazy Week 18.

This offseason has been such a dud, and now it's just crickets too. A handful of trades, sure, but zero FA signings along with the Rockies and frankly I don't think they've improved much from last year. All the while, other teams around them definitely have even in the division.

This feels like it'll end with us just bringing back Bregman and doing nothing else but acting all celebratory that they signed Bregman even though he was on the team last year too and they could have done a lot more in addition.

I like the trades for Gray and Contreras (Gray more so), but I don't see them as huge additions. Bringing back Bregman, or replacing him with, say, Bichette or Donovan, would make that slot pretty much the same as last year, but I've been hoping for Bregman (or equivalent) plus another big bat (Contreras is solid but doesn't qualify as a big bat, IMO). I also see Gray as replacing Giolito, but I was hoping for similar with the rotation?Giolito (or equivalent) plus another good starter.

My guess, though, is that they'll grab Bregman or equivalent and call it good, and spin it by saying that the addition of Contreras plus a full season of Anthony will be a significant upgrade to the offense, and that a full season of Early and Tolle will be a significant upgrade to the rotation. Maybe those things will prove true, but odds are that not everything will work out as they're hoping. Injuries are inevitable, though hopefully they're not too bad. I don't want another season in which the lineup regularly features 2-3 of Hamilton/Sogard/Eaton and the rotation requires triple-A stopgaps for large chunks of time. (FYI, I don't have high hopes for Harrison, Hicks, or Sandoval).

Nikola Jokic went down with an apparent leg injury before halftime against Miami.

Yikes, never good to see that.

Best case scenario it's a knee hyperextension/bone bruise which would sideline him for a few weeks. Worst case it's an ACL tear and his season is over.

This season has had too many injuries.

To me that looks like a hyperextended knee, not an ACL (and I really hope it's not). If so, he'll still miss a good chunk of time, but the key thing is to determine if it's a sprain or any actual tears. If sprain, it's a 3-4 week timeline. If any tear, definitely more than a month, maybe even more than 2 months if it's a "severe tear". Hopefully it's not anything requiring major surgery or another possibility like ACL or meniscus that requires a surgery

He did get stepped on pretty hard during the play and then went down holding his knee, so it's encouraging that it wasn't a non-contact injury that just happened.

need revenge for the loss earlier this year.

Hopefully the refs have learned that slide tackles are indeed fouls.

And I thought the Rams were a surefire win tonight...they are getting crushed in Atlanta. Down 21-3 but Falcons about to make it a 28-3 lead.
