I'm watching the Thuggets (who have doubled up the Rockets 16-8 so far). Terence Jones is playing.

Nice. Are Nuggets Thugs anymore though? They're rather mild mannered these days.

Nah. My boy is actually going to Wilson Chandler's daughter's birthday party on Friday. Their family is really nice. I guess I just have to start calling them the Chicken Nuggets.
 
Denver 23

Houston 8

It looks like they're feeling the altitude.

Nice. There you go.
 
Is Boston blowing this game on purpose because of their hatred of the Knicks? C'mon Boston! Guard Korver for chrisssakes!
 
Kudos to Bobcats for rising to 6th seed. Jefferson was a huge pickup for them.

Wow. Indiana benched their entire starting lineup for the game against Milwaukee tonight.

All healthy scratches. Either Vogel is a genius, or he just lost his team. No middle ground on how this plays out in the locker room, win or lose.
 
Oden is hurt again? I knew he wasn't playing, but I just read Spoelstra saying Oden is making progress with whatever injuries he has right now. Back spasms keep him out for 5 games? I find that hard to believe.

Sunday’s game against the Knicks made it three Heat games in a row without Dwyane Wade, five in a row sans center Greg Oden and the eighth this season without center Chris Andersen.

The Heat started Toney Douglas in Wade’s place with Mario Chalmers in the backcourt and LeBron James, Udonis Haslem and Chris Bosh up front. Justin Hamilton might have gotten minutes Sunday, but he sat out with a cold.

Wade did some work on the court before pregame warmups Sunday afternoon and closed with a two-handed dunk, giving a little push to his strained left hamstring. Oden continues to suffer from back spasms.

“Dwyane had a really good workout again [Sunday], so he is making progress but he is not ready yet for a game,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

“Greg is also making progress. This is the best he has felt [Sunday]. Chris has a couple of minor issues right now, his back and a bruise issue on his knee, so he won’t play. Hopefully, an extra day of rest will help.”

Bucks beating Pacers. Indy is not a contender. It's either Miami or Brooklyn out of the East.

Amazing
 
What a bad loss for the Wizards. Can basically clinch #6 in the East tonight against the Bobs with a win at home, and instead lost to the Bobs, putting them behind Charlotte in the tiebreaker.

The difference between the 6th and 7th seed? Playing Toronto as the 6 seed compared to either Indy/MIA at the #7 spot.
 
Houston's not even pretending to play defense with Howard/Beverley out. I'm not sure I've seen this approach since Paul Westhead coached the Nuggets.
 
Fucking Denver. For the second game in a row, they're letting the Rockets snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. It's an 18-2 run and the Rockets are within 4.
 
The OKC/Clippers game is so full of whining to the refs by coaches and players, I'm not sure I've seen anything quite like it in the NBA. The refs seem to be deliberately calling obvious phantom calls at this point, and then just looking past the players.

They're both getting ready for the playoffs. #PopovichRefBitchingWins

If Howard and Beverley aren't healthy, Houston may be the worst defensive team in the NBA. It's the match-up I'd like to see at this point, even if both play, because Beverley will have irritation from the meniscus, which will cause swelling and being slow. Maybe he'll get a cortisone shot, though. Who knows?

Nuggets look like they have it now. How about Randy Foye with 30 points/15 assists against Lin and Canon? Randy Foye had a 30 point 15 assist game against Houston. Wow. Bring it on ... Lillard awaits.

If there's one thing we as a fan base know, it's the nuances of knee injuries.
