He was overdoing it anyway. Stubborn dude. Although he is making the game look easy.

Don't high ankle sprains typically take 4-6 weeks?

Depends on the grade. Grade 1 is 2 weeks

Denver all of a sudden are very close to the 3rd seed with the Lakers sure to lose more games.

I think it's Jokic all day.

the card forums hate it, but it's been Jokic for like 6 weeks now, been even longer on bkref. I'd say Dame has been good enough that he probably moves into the #2 spot now, but otherwise I don't think much has changed since Embiid went down.

Jordan Poole has been looking good since his return from the G League. Completely different player from last year too.

That's why they usually get free throws. I have never seen that called as flagrant.

Refs still suspect in 2021

Absolutely. He kept the Dubs in the game. Made some real timely shots. Hopefully he carries this over into next year too.

From a card hobby standpoint, definitely a good opportunity to sell. From a fan standpoint, I'm excited to see what becomes of him (not expecting a superstar but if he becomes an efficient 10 PPG off the bench player next season, that'll be SWEET)

Whomever is still standing at the end of the season.

People tend to forget how huge an impact injuries have....

Top of the East stays red hot.

76ers win without Embiid, Simmons, or Curry.

Bucks win 5th in a row and 11th of their last 12.

15 assists today from Giannis. That's significant to me. We know come playoffs, teams will be going all in trying to wall him off. If he can figure out ways to turn that into points for his teammate, then the Bucks can be dangerous.

Giannis leveling up;
might be better than last season.
voter fatigue is a big factor, but he is not making it easy for voters to ignore him for a 3rd straight MVP...

spurs50fan · 03-20-2021, 11:07 PM

Lonnie should’ve tripped White anytime he looked to shoot lol

drobfan8 · 03-21-2021, 01:24 AM

Nice line from Collins. Wondering what happens with him. I hope the Spurs try and get him.

Also, did LeBron really come back in the game on a bum ankle just to get to 10 points and keep his streak going?

Does that really surprise you? Lol

Judging off of how he walked off, I'd be surprised if he misses any significant time. He didn't look bad.

The Lakers will play 17 .500 or higher teams in their remaining 30 games. If Lebron and AD are out for a significant time, they might realistically drop to a play in seeding. The west just got wild

Quote:

3 of the non .500 teams are the Raptors(twice) and Celtics(once) who are both better than their record shows

seeding is about to get nutty in the West

Spacemanspif · 03-21-2021, 03:25 PM

Houston with Wall, Oladipo, and Wood losing to a Thunder team sitting out SGA, Bazley, Horford, Hill is pathetic. The remaining roster is probably worse than some G league teams.

That Dort block was amazing though

Ohh man...

MVP front runner bricks a clutch 3 and the Nuggs drop back to the 6th seed.

How are the other 2 MVP front runners doing? Oh yeah, the always injured guy is injured and so is the old guy. Shocking.

I know you've trolled Jokic all season long but he has been the clear MVP for me.

They should have won that but NO seemed to keep getting nice calls to help them home.

"Hawnks" winning too much so you resort to trolling Jokic now for missing a shot?

If simmons put up 29-10-10 on 13/19 on an off night you'd be 8-10 posts deep about his greatness

the two lane violations late were absolutely ridiculous. i won't complain about the touch fouls on Milsap and Jokic because those do get consistently called, but the lane violation calls were garbage
