Thanks - it’s also the day of the Boston Marathon and the start of spring break for the kids. Fun week!

Love that! Love that City!

CJ hit 9 threes last night and has hit 8 tonight. Amazing. That might be a record. I'm not sure Curry has even done that.

 

[KingSpeed]

They're also all battling for the Northwest Division title.

 

[KingSpeed]

all 30 teams play today. The NBA had to jam everything into 1 grocery bag so teams could take a day off.

all 30 play on Sunday too. Fun!

 

[KingSpeed]

Why did Curry rush that three?

 

[SlyPokerDog]

CJ likes to get those great games out of the way before the playoffs start.

CJ was one of the main reasons we won game 7 in Denver to get to the WCF and helped carry us in that series when Dame shot 28% from three for that series and CJ shot 37%.

Cronin always makes terrific trades. We just need to wait until Kris Murray becomes better then McCollum.

For anyone who hasn't looked it up yet:

• 3-way tie: 1-OKC; 2-MIN; 3-DEN
• 2-way ties:
  • MIN over OKC
  • MIN over DEN
  • OKC over DEN

https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/...-if-the-nuggets-timberwolves-and-thunder-tie/

So as someone on Twitter pointed out, none of them control their own destiny.

• OKC needs DEN to win or MIN to lose
• MIN needs either OKC or DEN to lose
• DEN needs both OKC and MIN to lose

Crazy town.

CJ scored 40+ in the quadruple OT game too, I believe.

Rookie mistake!

 

[wizenheimer]

CJ scored 40+ in the quadruple OT game too, I believe.

41 points...on 39 shots

Denver was in full-time-stop-Dame mode and allowed CJ to chuck away. He made just enough that Rodney Hood was able to win the game in the 4th OT

The season is over. NBA is dead to me until October!

He's working and your watching soccer? When do you actually work? I mean it just seems like you get to ride around with the team for free?
From what I read on here Blazer Broadcasting can't be that tough a gig?

Best part is, the statue is smack dab in front of the PRACTICE facility FAMS!

It’s the most fun part of rebuilding. Enjoy the process!

Obviously With my screen name being KJ "Ironman" I'm not really impressed with a cape but you do you bro.

Don't be embarrassed to call it what it really is....a shawl.

 

[Pinwheel1]

We want GS to lose in the first play-in games so we get the best possible pick from them. So who do we want to win today that will help them get the toughest two matchups?

I assume Sac will win against us and that the Warriors will win today against Utah.....so do we want the Lakers to win? It looks like a 3-way tie moves the Warriors ahead of the Lakers. The good news is one of those two teams will not make the playoffs if they play one another. But if the Warriors beat the Lakers in SF then who do we want them to face in the 2nd play-in game? It looks like it could be the Kings and I don't trust them in a one-game play-in. Hopefully, Sac wins against Phoenix or NO

Here are the tie-breakers:

From the looks of the standings right now in the NBA it sure seems like a 50 win season is still a good thing.
So many people dogging the Blazers when they were winning 50+ games.

yeah, kind of. It's still a decently high threshold

Portland hit the 50 win mark 5 times with Drexler/Porter/Kersey/Buck; 3 times with Dame + Aldrdge/CJ (49 once); twice with Roy/LMA; twice with Pippen/Rasheed/Sabonis; once with Walton. That's 13 times in 54 seasons; slightly less than 1 in 4
