What does that Portland loss mean for the Lakers/Mavericks/Blazers? Hopefully it doesn’t clinch a playoff spot for the Mavs.

Brian Cronin:
And then Saric promptly misses three out of four free throws to blow the game for the Suns. Hilarious.

And they win anyway.

That was a tooooooooooooooooough foul call there on Norman Powell. They’re challenging it. Can they overturn it?

Covington was, like, “Oh, you think you can miss some clutch free throws, Saric? Watch this.”

Melo with a big defensive play! Wow!

Payton sees the handwriting on the wall for next season.

it would seem to set some type of precedent to change your season long starting point guard with 2 games left in the season, or right at the beginning of a playoff series…

re-watching the game now – frank just hit his three – but, elf is like a bit of a thief of joy out on the court…RJ’s is pretty controlled (but engaged), reggie just looks serious and focused, randle’s pissed, noel looks like he’s in a fight – and elf just looks defeated, bad energy…

i know thibs is hearing it from at least wes 🙂

good luck guessing what alec burks is ever thinking or feeling…he’s scoring, but, you can see in the first half it’s taking him a minute to get up to game speed…

was cool to see leon, wes and perry handing julius the player of the month thing…who knows, maybe perry stays on next year…

And then Saric promptly misses three out of four free throws to blow the game for the Suns. Hilarious.

I know we’d have to give up a ton to get him (and I’d draw the line at RJ) but he would be such a perfect fit for this team.

Probably a pipe dream tho…

I think this team plus Mitch as constituted could win 50 games next year. Anyone else agree?

I agree also.

You can’t assume an injury free season for everyone. Someone else will probably miss time even if Mitch is fine. But we have enough young players to expect upside development and we have enough draft power and cap space to assume we are going to add another good player or two somehow,
