Grizzlies’ Marc Gasol leaves game with sprained ankle not to return

wow that charge on blake was one of the worst calls i've ever seen

I'm about 30 minutes behind this koufus blake duel is kinda fun

lol yeah and it continues...

if my understanding of the standings/remaining schedules are correct, the clippers have the inside track to the 2 seed now and control their own destiny

The west conference standings and playoff seedings are just bouncing around like popcorn rn. Except the Blazers are a guaranteed 4 seed w/o home court to go with it.

idgi what the point of guaranteeing conference winners the fourth seed is if ur not gonna give them home court, i mean ur really guaranteeing them the fifth seed

get rid of divisions

The guaranteed 4th seed is like a dollop of make-up over a big zit. It hides, but everyone knows what it is hiding.

speaking of get rid of divisions, looks like the clips are still in 3rd because the first tiebreaker is a division winner gets the nod. the clips will almost definitely finish with a better record than the grizz, but if the clips and spurs end up tied (as they are now), the spurs would get the 2 seed

grix clips spurs rockets all w/in half a game lol

lol cavs resting every starter except mozgov this afternoon, SUP STARTING POINT GUARD MATTHEW DELLAVEDOVA (I would assume)

Cavs resting Lebron Kyrie love jr and David blatt* today

Everything's coming up brad Stevens!

*possibly not true

Lol xp I was gonna go for the dellavedova triple double joke instead

it could happen & they'll probably still lose

pacers face OKC & nets face bucks and heat's loss last night all but mathematically eliminates them so yea brother brad and his ragtag band are m/l a lock

aww perk got a nice clap

celtics win (currently lead by 25ish) + pacers loss = playoff berth clinched, miami eliminated, nets lose any tiebreaker

Russ scored 54, thunder lost to pacers

rip thunder

54 on 43 shots good gravy

Wow

the end of that game was kinda insane

wha happen

Russ taking 43 shots against the Pacers tonight is a bigger deal than the return of game of thrones

there were just a ton of points scored/wild swings/russ losing his cool xp

tim has 20+ points in the past 2 games and his 39th birthday is in like 2 weeks

we're not worthy

Russ also got his 16th technical tonight and if it isn't rescinded he'll be suspended for one of okc's two remaining must-win games

wow, that's pretty huge

😍😍😍😍😍

He's looking kinda out of shape?

I don't know what's going on, he's playing the best basketball of his life and he looks like a Boulder dispensary owner.

Haha. The George Karl affect I reckon

He looks like he's in one of those movies where they're rounding up the gang after 5 years of hiding and when they found him he was operating a bbq shack in deep Mississippi n driving a pickup

Love looks like he's 13 years old

Russ looks exactly the same

Haha. The George Karl affect I reckon

He seems like he's doing good work against some good teams but always beware the inflated April numbers effect aka my Ramon Sessions theory

yeah like every player on the laker squad putting up numbers rn.

Gallo been balling since the ASG I think tho.

they rescinded russ's tech, the league knows that the juiceman deserves one last shot

Lol what?? INVESTIGATE SILVER

Haha fixed league. Although that tech looked pretty weak

league knows whats up

given the options, that's likely the right one

western playoff matchups as of now seem like the most sensible set up

I don't know, that technical looked actually kind of definitive to me, like Russ instantly knew he'd said one of the words you can't say

I think the thunder are gonna sneak in. They play depleted PDX tonight and Pelicans have the Spurs still.

Lillard and McCollum are gonna score like 75 points tho

what's the over under on shots by wb tonight

I feel like he will take 1 shot per minute.

it could be a really crazy game, probably the two worst defenders at PG right now

spurs at no 2 pls no i dont think i have the constitution to watch them win this series again
