Around the League: Week 23 3/28-4/3

Regarding DAR situtation, I remember that long ago somebody said in an interview that the only NBA player who didn't cheat was Grant Hill.

AC Green?

Ha!

Didn't Doug Christie's wife travel with him or something?

Yep, she did (and she was sorta crazy, wasn't she?). On the other hand, Kirilenko's wife 'allowed' him to have sex with another woman once every year.

Yup. I remember stories about Christie's wife riding in a cab behind the team bus at away games. She also refused to allow certain female reporters to interview him in the locker room unless she was present. Doug would give her little hand signs in the game. Like 50 times or more.

Here's a good longform SI piece about the developing Andrew Wiggins:

Dont look now, but there is a slim chance Memphis falls out of the playoffs. That would be an epic collapse. Their final 5 or 6 games are brutal and if they lose all of them, they could be in trouble. Dallas has a brutal final schedule too, which will probably save Memphis. At the very least, Portland will pass them giving us at least one good first round series in the west.

Probably doesn't matter. Conley is likely now done for the season too.

[Mori Chu]

Warriors playing Minny to go for 70 wins currently on TNT. Up 20-10 halfway through the 1st quarter.

[carey]

Pups are fighting back. Down only 8 going into the 4th.

[carey]

Pups won't go away. They are within 1 with 3 minutes left. I need to go to bed. Arg.

[Mori Chu]

Great game. Hoping the Ws can pull it out. Dang the Wolves have such a great young core.

Tie game. W's with a chance. 8 seconds left.

[carey]

Overtime, but I have to get to bed. Hope the W's pull it out. Good night!

[Mori Chu]

OMG this game.

[Shabazz]

Minny gonna win and ruin the W's streak of 114 games without blowing a 15 point lead.

[Superbone]

Minny gonna win and ruin the W's streak of 114 games without blowing a 15 point lead.

And ruin the 70+ win season. Even bigger.

[Mori Chu]

Ws lose. Curry, Klay, Draymond all play 39+ minutes. I think they are burning away their title trying to chase this wins record. And now they are 69-9. Hmm.

[Superbone]

Can't lose any more to set the single season record.

[Mori Chu]

Gotta figure the Spurs will at least split their 2 games vs the Ws, right? So I don't think they will go 73-9 any more. That loss tonight was gigantic.

[Hermen]

Ws now have 70 wins. Wow.

Jinx.

[Cap]

Gotta figure the Spurs will at least split their 2 games vs the Ws, right?

I'd love to see the Spurs win out and give us two 70-win teams in the same season.

Probably not going to happen though.
