    Phoenix continues to win. That's six in a row. Today's win was helped by the fact that OKC only played one of its best five best players.

    They're a win away from matching Portland's record exactly.

    San Antonio is also in the mix.

    Four teams left in the West scrum for the 8th playoff seed.

    Two will play each other.

    Memphis has Boston and Milwaukee. Both teams are likely to have multiple starters missing.

    Portland has Brooklyn and Dallas.

    San Antonio has Houston and Utah. The Jazz had a bunch of players take off today. May be more next week, as they'd have little to play for.

    Phoenix has Philadelphia and Dallas. (The Suns are the only team who has a back-to-back left. Tomorrow, vs. Philly.) Too, in the more information department, Horford, Embiid, and Richardson have all already been ruled out for tomorrow's game. Simmons, obviously, will be as well. That leaves Tobias Harris and Shake Melton as the only two Sixer starters.

    First one that blinks is out of the Suns, Spurs, Blazers and Grizzlies.

    PHO is winning their games handily, btw.

    It'll be fascinating to see who sits against each of the teams playing.

    That may determine who gets in.

    Did anybody think the Nets were going to be much better than the Magic in the bubble? I did not. They're a reminder there's a lot of good players out there who don't get a regular run in NBA games. Also, they're a trap game for Portland.

    In other news, the Suns and Spurs both won their games. The Grizz lost theirs (because the Celtics have been taking pre-playoff games seriously). Meanwhile the Blazers are up on the Mavs in the 3rd in a game that's almost guaranteed to feature drama. Portland wins and they're in 8th. Lose and they're in 11th.

    There is currently a four-way tie for 8th place.

    Giggitty.

    Portland's D is atrocious, but the O is down right nasty!

    Like I said years ago, Dame is the best ever to wear a Trailblazer uniform.

    Still have to win against BKN Thursday or the season is over.

    I didn’t watch the whole game, but I don’t think that was a quiet 61.

    No. He found his shot in this one as opposed to Sunday when he never once found his shot.

    C.J.'s 2-14 explains itself...fractured vertebrae is the report:

    It was an obvious foul. You can't bowl people over. Sorry. There's no "play on" for something with that much of a collision. It was a great football block, though.

    The Doncic fouls continue to be a joke where he sweeps his arms or dives into players to create contact rather than letting players run into him. Those are "play on", or either Offensive Fouls by Doncic.
