Around the League: Week 14 3/22-3/28

[Flagrant Fowl]

I thought the Blazers/Nuggets would be a better contest, but I guess not. Switching over to the Jazz/Kings.

[Shabazz]

Watch us get the 1 seed and the Lakers lose the first play in and end up at #8.

The Jazz woke up and the Kings remembered they're the Kings.

The Warriors could very well beat the Lakers in a one-game series.

POS Kings.

[AmareIsGod]

Do we want the Lakers to win or lose?

[Mori Chu]

Looks like Sac is not delivering for us. Down by 26 late in the 3rd. Darn.

Is there a backstory here to this foul? I'm still utterly baffled that he was ejected with a flagrant 2 for that. Seems incidental and like nothing more than coddling of KD.

I think it's a reasonable call... by the rules. That elbow was completely unnecessary, and hopefully this type of call would condition him not to throw his arms out like that. I watched that replay and it's not like KD impeded his progress and he was throwing his arms up in a flail to get ref attention but hit KD's face accidentally. He lifted that elbow up and moved it forward to get the defender to give him more space.

[INFORMER]

The Nuggets are sleepwalking in the first quarter.

I am very surprised that the Blazers have steamrolled them. Lakers it is then.

Go Warriors!

Considering the Nuggets absolutely would not want to win this game for obvious reasons and didn't play any of their important players, it should be no surprise at all.

I still don't respect them as a serious threat in the playoffs, but I don't think many teams could have done in the regular season what the Jazz have done. They have fought through injuries to Conley and Mitchell, and still retained the #1 seed.

I know Philly missed Embiid for some time, but I think what the Jazz have done is more impressive.

I thought everyone that was healthy played. I thought I saw Jokic in the game...

Hate seeing Jaxson Hayes go down like that.

[pickle]

Did he get hurt? What happened?

[JeremyG]

I'm glad the Clippers went to #4 so the Suns aren't blamed for preventing the first ever Hallway Series for the second time (2006).

Everyone played, they just didn't try.

And the Lakers laughing about it on the bench afterward was lame.
