Tatum may have lost his first-team all-NBA slot to Durant with this game.

No worries: He's a lock for second-team or better. And injuries aside, Tatum isn't in the default first team anyway, now that it's gone positionless. (Jokic, Embiid, Giannis, Doncic, SGA)

No way KD gets 1st team if Suns are just the 5th or 6th seed.


Luka made it from the 11th seed last season.

It's part of a pattern, and it's their Achilles' heel. Too often they let their options shrink with the game on the line.

When they move the ball they get good shots. When they don't move the ball, much of the time they attempt harder shots. When they push up the court, they get the defense unprepared. When they walk up the court, the defense is set and ready.

Read on Twitter

Celtics are blessed that they have a 50-yo vet who can come in, start when need be, and give them 12 rebounds against someone like Nurkic, who averaged 16 rebounds the last 6 games. Extended lead to 8 w/ a clutch corner three w/ less than two minutes to go just for good measure.

Awarding the cigar to Luke Kornet. Luke has had his share of detractors, questioning his adequacy to fill the role of third center/big. In my estimation, however, he has delivered the goods, and it seems that Coach Mazzulla agrees. Insanely good block by D. White was the highlight of the game for me. Nice to get off the schnide as Tommy would say.

I'm frankly sick of Al.
Dude is almost as old as me, and still plays great. Gets a little hard for me to blame age on my drastic drop from crappy to oh so much worse.

Is this the RealGM version of a "Yo mama" joke? If so we're all deeply insulted so job well done.
