Exhibit 386 of this year: Lebron losing to a team playing Reggie Jackson, luke kennard, Zubac, Morris, Amir Coffey and Terrance mann, HarteNstein. I don’t care who is with, and Howard, Anthony and Westbrook are ok role players, that doesn’t happen like it has happened all year if you are a top 5 player.

Also, the Lakers have the toughest remaining schedule in the West by winning percentage.  This a) is not good for them as they try to avoid the 10th seed or worse, and b) means that they’ve had one of the easiest schedules to day and are still 5 games under .500.
Only 3.5 games ahead of 11th.  It would be something if the Lakers didn't even make the play-in games.

I think they have a shot. Pelicans and spurs have been showing some feistiness lately.

Have to admit I was looking at the standings and was shocked to see the T-Wolves are the 7 seed. I kind of just assumed they were in the bottom-5 of the West but to their credit they've been pretty good actually (32-29). If they get the 7 seed and win the play-in game, they likely draw the Warriors 1st round which could be an interesting matchup when you consider the T-Wolves are Wiggins' former team and Pat Beverley could actually affect some of the Warriors guards defensively

I think if the warriors have green they would smoke them. Most of the warriors troubles seem to be tied to green being out. Plus wiseman back next week potentially

Oh yeah I expect the Warriors to still comfortably win that series, but it could be a fun 5-6 game series assuming both teams are healthy and engaged

Without Green they would smoke them, IMO. T-Wolves got destroyed by Philly last night in James Hardens debut. Lost by 30+. The Warriors are also going to have Wiseman back very soon. They are the deepest/most talented team in the NBA and come playoff time, I don’t really see anyone stopping them if healthy.

Starters: Curry, Thompson, Wiggins, Green, Wiseman

Bench: Poole, Payton II, Otto Porter Jr, Kuminga, Looney, Iguodala.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The addition of Wiseman is fairly insignificant. He hasn't played all year. He is going to need a while to adjust in. And in his 40 or so games last year, he wasn't that impressive.

Getting Draymond healthy is the key for GSW. Looney will continue to start for the Warriors. Wiseman will be a fairly blah addition to the bench.

Woj: The Lakers dropped to 27-32 with Friday's loss to the Clippers, ninth in the Western Conference and playing without Davis for what sources told ESPN are likely another four to five weeks with a right mid-foot sprain.

Very sad situation in LaLa Land.

Yeah he definitely isn’t ready for nba playoff basketball. Will be behind looney in rotation. Think he could still be good, but will be surprised if he plays a significant role on this years team.

Will be quite surprised if nets win. Raps down 8 with trae having 25 at the half. Heat had a horrible first quarter but have come back and would be a bit surprising if they lost at home (this is one of the few games of the season where Lowry, butler, bam and herro all playing). Spurs have their g league team with no Murray, poetl or Johnson. Feel bad for Richardson he is still hardly playing even with those guys out.

Raptors going to lose tonight. Bulls could also lose. Anything else is just gravy.

Let's beat Indy tomorrow and get some separation as a Top 6!!

Cavs got away as Wizards choked. We have to root for the Nets against the Bucks.

I understand but it’s impossible to root for Irvin.
