The shooting against the Cavs right now is absurd. Probably go 3-0 with normal shooting against them. 

Numbers bear it out too, we have defended the 3 the best of any team in this stretch -- only 12 per game, of Wide Open to 6' closest defender -- which is the lowest total in the league. Yet teams have hit 70% of those shots, which is about 40% higher than league average. So not only are we giving up the least, teams are still making the most. And that doesnt even take into account the absurd shot making Brooklyn displayed.

Pacers were off the charts last night.

Donovan Mitchell with 69 points tonight.

Saw this trying to get away from Twitter

69/11/8

Finished with 71

71/11/8

That was as on fire as I have ever seen a player for that long. Whew. I think we have to give Utah another 1st after that!

Incredible performance.  But the best of all of it was his purposeful miss of the free throw with 4 seconds left and then he miraculously got the rebound falling down and put it up and in off the glass to send it to OT.  My goodness was that one of the best overall plays you'll ever see.

I was SHOCKED he wasnt called for a lane violation, considering what happened earlier with Caruso (called for 2 lane violations back to back on Mitchell misses). Because he definitely hit the lane before the ball hit the rim.

And the guy that tried to box him out was also in the lane too quickly, and still missed the box out.

Vuc did, but that was it. NBA, you can hit the lane floor as soon as the ball is released. Shooter has to stay behind line until rim is hit.

Jazz go on 14-5 run to win game tonight thanks in part to Caris fucking Lavert managing to foul Jordan Clarkson on back to back three point shot attempts, one which was somehow deemed a flagrant. 

Guess we should be happy Clarkson didn’t cheapshot someone then go into a goofy fighters stance when confronted. 

That was the dumbest loss all year. All the calls were correct, which sucked. Allen and Okoro being sick cost them bigly. 

The worst part, should’ve been Cavs ball off the Clarkson shot that went out of bounds. Ensuing second chance for Jazz was the 7 point possession,

Mobley with the best defensive quarter I have seen in about 9 years watching basketball in the 4th.

Pretty pumped that Rubio will be returning tomorrow to run the second unit. Not a huge impact but the veteran leadership won't hurt and it seems like they started to fall apart when he got hurt last season.

Excited to see what our 3 guard lineup of Garland/Rubio/Mitchell does. Because you know JB is gonna try it out lol

Warriors announced Curry, Klay, Draymond, and Wiggins will all be out for tonight’s game in Cleveland. What a blast.

Spread moved about 7 points on that news

Wtf is going on tonight 

Worst lose in a few years for the Cavs. Just didn’t show up once the stars were held out for GSW. Really poor effort.

Mobley with a monster game as they bounce back with a W over the Bucks.

Yeah, this is a one and done playoff team. Too inconsistent, with some really bad losses that will likely bite them in the ass come seeding time.

JB has his flaws. But I like what he is doing in the regular season. This team has no clue what the best rotation is/will be, because of the injuries. JB has mixed and matched rotations, which has led to loses and inconsistent play. But When the rotation goes to 8 man in the playoffs, we wont have to worry about Love or Cedi just losing a game in 7 minutes of action. And at the same time, if those guys are hot, they can help us. Hopefully Caris' minutes are replaced at the deadline. 

They have the tiebreak over basically everyone but Brooklyn for seeding, so that is good start. They have had the 3rd hardest schedule thus far and have the 2nd easiest remaining. If they can get the 3 seed, they will win round 1. If they end in the 4/5 matchup, that is going to be a real struggle.

Meanwhile, Clippers sit PG and Kawhi and currently trail 84-48 in the third quarter. Must be a blast of a game to be at.
