I know J R was with LAL in the bubble

[bodiddley]

Looks like J Earl is out of the League as of now.

JR might not have even played with the Lakes last year except A Very Bradley opted out of the bubble, and JR took his roster spot.

So bump everyone on that list up one slot.

[bankshot1]

 

and nobody on the Celts

got that one right!

heh

[kidcarter8]

20 years in the corner may get Pritchard close.

[bodiddley]

I used basketballreference as my source, and apparently they haven't updated such lists recently.

Or since J Earl played in the bubble and is 35 they assume he's reasonably likely to hook on with a team after injuries, CV and trades sort rosters out.

Odd '6er-Lake game.

Lakes trying to make a comeback, down 11, first AD and then right after LeBJ both miss a pair of FT's. 

But Caruso leads a late 4Q comeback with 4 baskets, a steal and a key rebound tipout.  Shroeder also causing havoc.  Lakes finally get a 1 point lead with 9 secs left.  Setting up Tobias' game winner.  Lakes deserved to lose after LBJ's cheap shot on Enbiid in the 3Q.

[bodiddley]

Without AD on a B2B, Lakes score 34 2nd half points and lose to DET.
(didn't see any of it)

ELLINGTON now 26-42 from 3-pt land over last 5 contests

Wow!

[bodiddley]

Ellington finished 6 of 9 from 3-point range and is 40 of 67 from long distance in his last eight games. Ellington became the eighth player in NBA history to have at least seven straight games with four or more 3s.

Plums calls Ellington the key to their Offense:

"He just single-handedly spaced our floor on offense, when you have to give that much attention to somebody," Plumlee said. "Coach always draws up a good first play to get him off, he hits it and then it's like the rest of the night that team is worried about him coming off pin-downs. Then he is getting some cutting baskets because they are so worried about him coming off the screen. It just changes the dynamics of your offense."

Halliburton with 11 assists and 6 boards 10 Points in a close W over TOR.
TyH had been 0-6 on 3's until he splashed a 3 with 44 secs left to put SACto up by 4.  Really enjoy watching him play.

Watanabe looked terrific finishing for TOR.
Fighting for boards, one drive right at Whiteside, solid D.  Great energy.
I can't recall seeing him before.  This was his season high 12 / 6 / 2.
TOR always does a terrific job uncovering talented players, particularly PF's -- Siakim, Boucher, Watanabe.

TOR announcers are terrible.
Leo Rautins a buffoon.

[bodiddley]

Last time UTA lost was when they blew an 18 point lead to NY Knicks.
11 straight wins including 2 blowout wins in a row v. DAL without Mitchell (After NY concussed him). 

Bogdanovich who couldn't make an extremely wide open corner 3 v. NYK -- announcers were talking about last year's wrist surgery still hampering him -- went 7-11 on 3's for 32 Points.  I still don't see UTA as a genuine contender, but they are on a roll, scoring 116 or more in 5 of their last 7.

They had DAL down by 25 after 1Q.
When I tuned in 3Q, KZ had 6 Points and 5 Fouls in 16 minutes.
Tim Jr. had 2 for the game.

[Kam]

Randle > KP

[bodiddley]

SacKings last 3 games all W's v. BOS, DEN, LAC!
6-1 since they beat the Knix (so 7 out of .
The only loss was a 1 point defeat to MIA.

If Knix had drafted TyH, we wouldn't be trading for DRosencrantz.

[facilitatorn]

Mitch gets his extension locked in as a result of this next stretch of games.

[bodiddley]

Dal was up 11 with 5 mins left.
Then Lillard got sloppy.
Tried to split two defenders and got picked for a DAL 4-on-1 fast break.
Then Lillard drove, got fouled by KZ and missed both FT's (was shooting 94%).
Doncic causing all sorts of havoc; Trent missed a pair of open 3's.

Lillard was guarding Doncic most of the last 4+ mins for some reason, and fouled Luka twice for 3-point plays on drives.  A little over 2 mins left, POR clinging to a 3 point lead, Lillard comes off a screen, runs into Luka 25' out and gets called for an O-foul.  Then Dame fouls Doncic on a pass, so bonus FT's for Luka. 1 Pt game with 1:55 left.

Finally 1:35, Lillard drives for a layin.  POR up 3.  Luka drives past Lillard, drops off to KZ who is fouled, makes both FT's.  1 Point game.
Lillard drives gets hacked by a Tim Jr. reach-in, makes 2 FT's.

Tie game 32 secs left after a DAl 3, and Dame hits a step-back 3.
Luka blows by Covington for a dunk.
Next play Melo has the ball with Luka on him 28' feet, Tim Jr. does about the worst attempt at double-teaming I've seen in a long time.  A weird gamble down 1, so Melo hits Jones Jr. underneath for a dunk.  Er ...

3 point game 6.5 secs left and Luka gets a wide open elbow 3 for the tie off the inbounds, but it bounces out.  Terrific inbounds play, and bad mistake by POR, allowing Luka to come to the ball without a defender attached.  Dodged a bullet.

DAL had a 12-0 run from the 5 to 2 mins mark.  With lots of mistakes by Dame, who then turned it on and scored 7 in the last 2 mins.  Luka was incredible down the stretch.  Just barely missed a game-tying 3 in the closing secs.
Fun game.
