The finger wagging by Naz Reid was a bit too much.

Amazing. The Diamondbacks come back to win. Now you don't have to worry about the Suns.

I almost turned it off, too. LOL!

Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson Daniels – the NBA's steals leader and a Defensive Player of the Year candidate – is signing a four-year shoe endorsement deal with Adidas, sources tell ESPN. He is averaging 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 3.1 steals (the most since 1988-89).

The New Orleans Pelicans have shut down Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum for rest of the season due to injuries.

I think the Knicks will miss Divencenco and Steinberger (or whatever their center was named) come playoff time. Hope their little point guard is injury free and that Bridges comes to play. The Knicks are among my favorite teams when Phoenix is not playing (in the playoffs). Can't root for a team from the west because of rivalry. Maybe I am hoping a bit for OKC actually. And Cleveland, to wash off the LeBron stain.

They have Miles McBride and Payne backing up Brunson but really an injury to any of their rotation guys will be fatal. Precious is huge for them off the bench as well. He might be fine if OG gets hurt and sliding into the starting 5 but ultimately it's a matter of overall health. Hope they can make a run.

Agree on Cleveland but I don't like Donovan Mitchell so seeing them come up short is fine.

The East race should be interesting. I think those 2, the Celtics of course, and maybe Indiana will be tough outs. Even the bottom teams are intriguing like Orlando and Detroit, who have great foundations.

Marc Stein retweeted this. I believes it accurate given his credibility but haven't double checked.

It's telling that it's 100% believable this season.

Players are getting paid too much DARN MONEY! They are not investing in themselves to stay on the court. They are living a frivolous life where basketball comes second. Jmo

It's the owners fault. They perpetually make it more expensive and less accessible to be a fan.

If you can get the game put on the Warriors and Memphis. Mid 3rd Steph has 10 3's and 38 and Ja has 27 himself.

 

[Russ Smith]

103 all after 3. Steph has 45 with 11 made 3's. Steph has made 10 or more 3's in a game 27 times now, the next 5 guys on the list combined have 24.

Great game. In the 3rd Steph hit a 3 and smiled, Ja goes down draws a foul on Steph hits the shot and yells "I'm that dude" at the Warriors bench. Steph then scores or assists on the next 17 points, so with the 3 it was 20 in a row. And yet Memphis caught up during that stretch.

Edey looks great he's just so big

 

[Russ Smith]

134-125 Warriors final 52 points 10 boards 8 assists for Steph, triple double for Draymond, Butler had 27 6 and 4.

36 for Ja, Edey had 16 rebounds 4 blocks.

Best game I've seen all year. Steph finished 12-20 on 3's so the NBA record of 14 by Klay survives again.

Side note but I don’t get how fans get so hyped over Ja’s almost-dunks. Same for Ant sometimes.

Kings magic number for the tenth spot now down to 6.
