It's officially the end of an era in San Antonio! Last night's "come from ahead" loss to the Clippers has left the Spurs with a record of 45-33, with four games to go in the regular season. Thus ensuring that the Spurs will finish the season with fewer than fifty wins, for the first time in twenty years.

So much for this year being the rise of the Celtics

One team's dramatic comeback is another team's back-breaking chokejob.

Maybe...

While the incessantly inane tanking debate continues in #KingsRap, I'd like to take this moment to shout out the Denver Nuggets, who have been pretty much playing "Win Or Go Home" basketball for the last two weeks or so. Apparently, appeals to "You'd just get swept by the Rockets, anyway!" have fallen on deaf ears in Denver, and I am here for it! I'm pulling for the Nuggets, for the duration.

Just watched the finish to IND/CHA. Since I haven't said this in a while, let me just repeat, for the record: relegating Stephanie Ready to a sideline reporter job is god damned insane. That woman should be in a booth somewhere. Hell, she should be coaching somewhere.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

If there were a second "All-Star" game between the end of the regular season and the start of the playoffs, where your team had to be mathematically eliminated from the playoffs to be eligible, Ben McLemore would be, like, a four-time starter.

Well, I did not know where to put it, so here I go. Hats off to Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz who clinched a playoff spot today. Mitchell had 28 pts, 9 boards and 8 assist n todays win against the Lakers. Not bad for a rookie, he has consistently performed great this year, so my vote for ROY.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

According to ESPN's The Jump, Nikola Jokic has one more triple-double this year (9) than he has dunks (8).

Nikola Jokic is seven feet tall. I can't decide whether I find that bit of trivia impressive, or offensive.

Adds more juice to the whole argument that Jokic is a supercharged Brad Miller.

GO DENVER!!!!!!

And yes I'm being small, really really small. 'cause I don't want the Kings to have the longest current non-playoff appearance streak.

 

[chief bromden]

Amazing that it comes down to Twolves and Denver, and that they play each other on the last day. Play-in game! Super excited. Go Denver!

As much as I hate the Lakers, this is a nice story

isn't it a two game contract?

Not a bad debut. 19 pts off 6-8 shooting. 4-5 from 3pt.

Just came here to say the same thing... hope some other team (not Lakers) can give him at least a one year deal next season as a veteran presence, he has earned it imo the fact that he hasn't shoot under 40 % from three since freshman or sophmore year in college is mindblowing.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

His best chance of sticking around in the league is going to be on a veteran-laden team, that doesn't need to put too much responsibility on him, and also isn't trying to take the time to teach a youngster.

 

[kingsboi]

this is what it's all about, Denver vs Minnesota for a slot in the post season, I'd like to see Minny get in, end their decade plus streak of no playoffs

I'd like to see Denver win so Malone is in the PO.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

So, this thing with Russell Westbrook's teammates clearing out to let him collect rebounds, and secure his second straight season of averaging a triple-double: do we think it's as egregious as when David Robinson's teammates conspired to help him take the scoring title away from Shaq in '94? Less egregious? Or, more egregious?

 

[kingsboi]

Fultz with a triple double in 25 minutes of play...bravo rook

 

[Tetsujin]

TWolves and Denver going to overtime.

 

[kingsboi]

the drought ends for Minny...good for them. Kings in sole possession of the number one spot now.

I'm happy for Brett Brown.
