I’ve tried to erase one of those from my mind

LeBron only a 0.5 game behind 5th place now.

FYP

A look at the Mavs schedule compared with the Thunder and I think its even money that either get the 10 spot even though the Mavs are 1 GB. I believe Thunder have the tiebreaker as well. Mavs all home games left

Mavs
Vs Sacramento
Vs Chicago
Vs San Antonio

Thunder
@Golden State
@Utah
Vs Memphis

Mavs look completely cooked to me. They'll only win the Spurs game and maybe not even that.

Just think of Ana Maria Markovic.

Played in the modern soft NBA.

While that was a nice play, and this was his crowning moment, there is always room for the debate if this even happens had Draymond Green not gone full Draymond Green and missed a game.

I was assured that the key to winning meaningful basketball games was acquiring a superstar like Kyrie Irving.

I suppose we can just hand-waive the Mavericks 8-15 record since he got there, eh?

Guess it's a good thing they didn't quit on the season like their supposed leader was inclined to do...

I think it cancels out if the other “superstar” on your team hasn’t been inside a gym since he got in the league. Is there a more out of shape professional athlete that’s supposedly “in his prime” than Luka? Should we really be surprised they lost steam down the stretch with fat Luka as their main guy?

If Luka isn't a star then the 'stars and scrubs' model allows for like 8-10 players to qualify.

So yes, you can win a championship if you get 30% of the leagues top 10 players on your roster.

I'll be the first to admit that my interest has waned a bit with the Wolves and Thunder both falling to play-in positions. I'll still watch for the Kings and Bucks (and maybe the Nuggets), but if the Wolves and Thunder don't advance past the play-in, there'll be several series I won't care much about. :shrug:

Massive overtime road win for LeBron in Utah. Hits the game winning shot with a 37-5-6 line to move the Lakers into a tie for 5th in the conference.

What a player. What a hero. The GOAT.
