    Brunson 61, just short Melo record for Knicks of 62

    Wemby 40 pts/ 20 reb/ 7 assists

    Spurs win in ot

    great game
    Brunson has been so amazing for the Knicks this year. He really has.  I wish he would have stayed w Luka.

    Wemby mismatch w the knicks huh?  Who the hell was trying to guard him?
    Yeah pretty wild that Luka, Porzingis, and Brunson didn't have more success together. 
    Porzingis is great when hes on the floor which isn't a lot unfortunately.
    He's played in 53 games thus far this season, and a few of the DNPs were just the team being extra cautious with him and keeping him out an extra game here and there as well as sitting out some back to backs.
    Hopefully he plays every game through the Finals come playoff time.

    You know i stopped following him?  53 games is good for him.  He was exciting when he first came in but calling him a unicorn was a bit much for me, lol.

    Someone else I stopped following, Bradley Beal.  How has he been playing?  Someone I wanted to be a Laker very badly.

    Always been a Jrue fan but that seems like an overpay. @Poncier --what say you?

    It's a shrewd move short term. By him voiding the player option for next year (37.6 Mil) and taking the extension, his salary for next year is 30Mil and the C's will save 35Mil in luxury tax next season as a result.
    So, it's in essence actually a 3-year extension instead of 4 (as he had an option in place already for next season), and it's like the final year is almost free with the luxury tax savings.
    Stevens is pretty good at his job.
    Should he fall off the cliff in a year or 2, then it won't look great, but for now it appears to be a decent maneuver.

    How come in the play in games the 7th seed seed faces the 8th seed? Shouldn't they play the 10th seed?

    from my understanding it is because that game determines who the seventh seed is and the loser is playing another game to see who is eighth.

    Tonight we got Pelicans vs Lakers.  Pelicans been balling and Williamson found a groove.  I still have Lakers though to make a deep run this year w a healthy AD and LBJ.

    I was really hoping I was wrong about him too... He D'd up good last night.  He was scoring at will.  He looked great and he gets injured the last few min of the game...

    Welp, go Lakers go!

    Fell asleep watching Kings/Warriors (not for lack of excitement, had just spent 2 hours in the theater for Dark Matter) and just saw this morning that Klay went 0/10 from the field and 0/6 from 3!? Going to be different with no Warriors in the playoffs, but I for one am glad to see some changing of the guard and some new faces in the MVP/All Star running.
