I'm baaaack!  Anyone miss me?  Yeah, I didn't think so.  Superb game from Yogi in a Mavs win.  OG is day-to-day after injuring an ankle in late February.  Houston with win #50 is tied with Golden State for most wins.

It's day old news, but on Monday night, JBJ had quite a game for the Wisconsin Herd.  Played 41 min., scored 26 pts. on 10-15 from the field, 6 reb., 3 assists.

OG still day-to-day with an ankle injury but the Raptors still stopped the Rockets winning streak at 17 games and in the process won their 48th game of the season.  Vic with a good shooting night in a Pacers blowout win.  Troy with a good shooting night in a Knicks loss and JBJ with a solid game in a G-League loss.

Dallas kicked the crap out of Memphis 114-80, a margin of 34 points and look who was a +34 on the court in that game!  JBJ with another strong showing in G-League and the same for TB who contributed 9 assists along with his 20 points.

Pacers went into Boston to win. Pretty horrible by flop by Morris late nearly saved the Celtics

[Brass Cannon 25,345]

Crazy the pacers are overachieving and the thunder are underachieving. Almost like PG just wasn't a winner or something

Too much of a whiner to be a winner

He was whining recently about how he, Carmelo and Westbrook are officiated differently from other stars. I'm pretty confident we'll never hear any junk like that from Oladipo.

 

What a blessing that trade has turned out to be. The Pacers went 3-1 against the Cavs this year and would have been 3-1 against the Celtics if Bogdanovic hadn't literally given the Celtics that game in Indy.

[HooHooHoo22 3,927]

Pacers 3rd in the Eastern Conference. Keep it up boys !

These last 10 or so games will be brutal. They’ll be playing playoff team after playoff team.

Yeah at first glance I think it's 13 of 15 against playoff teams. Gonna have to beat the teams we are jockeying for position with to have any chance of keeping the 3 seed. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 89,822]

Tough shooting night for Yogi but good shooting nights for EG and Vic although Vic was almost the goat in the Pacers win over the Celtics committing a dead ball foul with 1.5 seconds remaining that gave the Celtics one last chance.

Actually only 10. Could be more or less depending how the West shakes out and a couple of those could be already in playoff resting season.

Boston is falling apart, piling up losses and now injuries. Smart/Theis likely out for the season. Kyrie/Horford battling injuries. I haven't heard how long Jaylen Brown is supposed to be out but I would assume a while.

[KingPG21 6,587]

Anyone see that insane tweet from Bill Simmons suggesting that Thad Young tried injuring Celtics players on the last play yesterday? No offense to BGleas, who seems like one of the smarter fans around, but Boston fans are literally the worst around. The majority seem to have serious inferiority complex issues

One reason why keeping 3 seed is so important.

A less than memorable shooting night for EG, but Houston still recorded its 53rd win.
