The J Crew

And the Blazers have a back-to-back, play the Sixers tomorrow at 5:30. And Dame played 39 minutes, CJ 38, Trent 34 and Nurkic and Melo 33. Blazers aren't a deep team. Let's hope the Sixers aren't satisfied with the 6th seed.

That too.

Now let's get a Shams or Woj tweet saying some of the Raps are resting for our game. They are an old team, wouldn't be shocking.

A better way to say it - our Magic # for the 8 seed in the play-in game(s) is only 2!

Couldn't disagree more with all that. These top teams this year aren't the dynasty Warriors. They are all beatable, and they are all one sprained ankle away from being very beatable. Lakers have the worst half-court offense in the bubble as of today. Would love to take them on with a healthy JJJ.

So, with our win and the Blazers' loss, if we win just one more game, the Blazers have to win all 3 of their remaining games to pass us.

I get it. But Denver wins this game on now, and they are 1/2 game behind the Clips.

What a difference a day makes? 29 point win vs. OKC. And the Blazers choking a 5 point late 4th quarter lead to the Clips with now Kawhi and PG3 pulled.

Exactly. I could see this stuff with one or two games left. But four?

Nobody cares about home court. It's the matchups. The Clips dominate the Mavs, who will be the 7th seed. Do the Clips want to fool around and maybe get OKC, with CP3 playing his old team, instead?

Are we seeing this? Look at that Clips lineup beating the Blazers! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yikes, Dame short-armed both of those free throws. Unbelievable.

Everybody is saying that. But if Clips lose, they are only one game ahead of Denver. Don't the Clips need to clinch the 2 seed before they start playing head games with the Lakers?

And Doc pulls Paul George with 5 minutes left in a then 1 point game for the great Terrance Mann. So frustrating.

Clips down 6 at the half. Will they leave the starters in and amp up the D in the 4th? Reggie Jackson still thinks he's Steph.

Clips resting Kawhi against the Blazers today, playing tomorrow against Brooklyn. We are going to have to do this by ourselves.

I realize it's a trade thread, but you guys realize there is zero chance the Suns are trading Booker, right? It would be like fans on other team's blogs talking about trading for Ja. He's averaged 25 ppg the last 3 seasons, is the face of the franchise, the leader of the team who takes the last shot, is signed for 4 more years after this season. And . . .he's still only 23.

Here it is, 1016.

Actually, I said it to your original post. Go back to page one and check if you doubt me.

Thank you. Are you really in Toronto? Got the Raptors on Sunday.

Ye had little faith.

Is it ok for me to leave the 2nd TV now? And yes, I'm using it for the Toronto game on Sunday too.

Anyone else thinking that was the trainer talking to JV saying let's get an x-ray for those ribs?

I have an irrational love for DeAnthony. 4 points, 4 assists, 7 rebounds, 2 steals (I thought he had more.) And a game high +29!. That's the DeAnthony we like.

Oops. Nba.com updates so quickly - I thought that pushed him to 21.
