Denver is climbing the standings...if they can snag a top 2-3 seed he’s gonna be right there. Feels like it’s Lebron’s to lose though. Lebron checks a couple of boxes:

Best player on best team.

Lifetime achievement award(I’m not sure there is any one year he should have gotten it when he didn’t, but he’s been the nba alpha dog and hasn’t won since 2013)

If he’s anywhere in the vicinity stat wise and LA is the clear front runner, Lebron is winning it. Narrative seems pretty set right now.

Houston has been looking good lately too. If they can stay healthy, they will be a playoff team.

Wow :o
Joker just went 13/17 from the field and has 33pts at half time lol (79-54 score). Nuggets looking to emphatically end Jazz 11 game winning streak :shock:

Clearly after battling DA, he is finding Gobert to be light work :)
After last year's playoffs, the Nugs aren't scared of the Jazz.

I saw a short clip of the end of that game. Did Brooklyn really lose after being up 5 with under 20 seconds left?

It was a weird ending with Nash and the crew taking criticism for not taking a TO up 2 to advance the ball.

Strange that a team with Kyrie, KD and Harden, coached by Nash, Amar'e and MikeD aren't playing much defense and can't see to get stops when needed...

You'll never believe this, but they basically ran an 8-man rotation with only 8 guys getting more than 7 minutes. DeAndre Jordan, their starting center, got only 19 minutes.

They obviously have one of the best Big 3s in the NBA, but I don't really believe in them as a title team. I don't think their defense will be good enough, and I think the superstars will clash down the road in terms of who gets the ball and who gets to take the big shots when games are on the line.

Westbrook had a 41/10/8 in this game (!), in 35 minutes of play. He's had a rough season so far, but he can still fill a stat sheet when he's healthy. Beal chipped in 37 and 6.
