Lawler's Law: The first commentator to get to (age) 100 loses. That's the law (tm)!

He’s got a long way to go. And it’s first to 100 wins.

That is the craziest non-political thing I have read in a while, carey.

Davis is playing like a possessed man, and the rest of the team matches his intensity.

Good for him and Alvin.

Pelicans are 1.5 games out of the 3rd seed

Aldridge just sprained his ankle, so he might miss a couple of games. Could drop the Spurs a spot or two.

[Mori Chu]

LOL if the Pelicans get a high playoff seed without Boogie. The guy is just never part of winning teams, is he?

To be fair, the Pelicans were a winning team while he was playing.

Utah Jazz handing reins to rookie Donovan Mitchell: 'I didn't expect any of this':

A deep look at the Jazz & how they are thriving after Gordon Hayward left.

[Split T]

Magic beat the pistons tonight. Mavs are up on bulls late. Grizzlies losing to Denver. Grizzlies will be the last team at 18 wins. Magic, hawks, Kings, and us at 19. Build, nets, Mavs at 20.

[Split T]

Bulls actually came back and beat Dallas

The playoff race is getting interesting. In the West there is a 4 way tie for 3rd right now. Clippers, in 9th, are 2.5 games out of third.

2 games sperate 3-6 in the East playoffs as well. Miami and Milwaukee are struggling a bit, but holding onto 7/8. If neither is going to fall out of the playoffs, it might be better for Miami to pass Milwaukee. Make sure that Milwaukee pick comes to us.

I didn't realize the Knicks have given up on Ntilikina at PG already.

[Split T]

I still think he'd be a great pg next to a ball dominant sg like Booker. Knicks kinda need a dominant lead guard next to him. Sexton actually makes some sense there and should be available.

Strange for a guy that some (one?) thinks will lead the league in assists one day.

Julius Randle has been playing very well for LA lately. If we land one of the potential defensive anchors (Ayton, JJJ, Bamba) in the draft I wouldn't be terribly against signing Randle. He doesn't have an ideal skill set, but he's productive and efficient, kinda like Warren. Only he rebounds a bit and is a 4. I'd definitely move Warren though. Ideally for a shooter.

He has a decent motor too.

Beat me to it

He has a heartbeat compared to Chriss on most nights. Willing to wait a little on Bender but damn, just be agressive. For God's sake you are 7'1 just take it to the hoop strong at least once a game.
