Bulls took down the Suns, in Phoenix, without Porter. Phew.

Phoenix seriously blows.

The Pelicans and Lakers blow more. The Pels blew that late game against the Suns and the Lakers got swept by the Knicks.

The Pels and the Lakers had a disastrous trade deadline experience without actually making significant moves. Brilliant.
 
I'd like to claim victory on Gary Harris being a role player and not a fringe all-star guy @Nathan S

Took a nice, big step back this season.

Did I say he was a fringe All-Star? Or that he has the potential to be an All-Star? I honestly can't remember. If it's the latter, though, I still think that was a reasonable claim in retrospect...largely seems like a crapshoot to me which guys take a step forward and which guys take a step back, and he was about one medium-sized step forward away from the All-Star discussion at his best.
 
I'm curious to see what they do in the postseason. I don't see them making it out of the second round unless they snag the top seed, and even then I"m not so sure.

Jokic puts up monster stats but he's a defensive sieve. If Denver can go on a run in May, I'll change my feelings about him being a bunch of stats and not as much substance.

I think for a lot of players the defensive side takes longer to mature. I would love to see him spend an off season working on it.
 
Every now and then I look at some of the betting lines and I can't quite figure out one.

Philly, fully healthy, in a non back-to-back game, is even with Charlotte tonight? Like....doesn't that seem like a solid bet?
 
Ok that makes more sense. Checked a philly blog and they didn't mention it.

Embiid actually said that he took the night off because it was Charlotte.

He wanted to play Boston and team wanted to rest him a game so Charlotte it was, but it's still hilarious even with the backstory.
 
Still felt like a good bet. Woulda made some money.

Was Harris injured by any chance? It says he's only played 44 games this season.
 
cRaptors just gave up a 12-point lead in the last 3 minutes. Soiled themselves.
 
Suns have signed Jimmer Fredette. Their tank is insurmountable.

Hey, he gets the second-biggest LDS fanbase in the league around there to support him...maybe that'll help him this time around. ;)
