Nice to see Matthews hitting his shots tonight. Now just get Lopez going from 3 point land and lookout......

Heard something about this on the radio the other day when the magic number was 9 and they had 8 games left to beat the previous mark which was the 70 win Warriors. And the Warriors beat their own previous record that year. Feb 25th is the date to beat.

The Bucks are 15-2 in the last 17 games. Brook is 16 for 77 from 3 in those games. He's also 6 for his last 36.
If he hits his career average of 35% during the playoffs, nobody is coming close to them.

Laughed when I read this. Was watching last nights game and said pretty much the same thing to my son. "Boy Ingram has really become a nice player....Zion reminds me of a better version of Charles Barkley". Zion sure looks good for a 19 yo ....amazing quickness for his size and so explosive, soft touch, etc.....and he's already getting a big time whistle !!! His body will be happier if he sheds some weight !!
Happy for Pels fans, after the heartbreak of losing Anthony Davis, it looks like they have done an excellent job of re-stocking. Zion, Ingram, Holiday, Ball, Reddick, etc....is a very nice core.

Yes & yes
Sixers haven't done jack shit since Christmas. They're 8-10, however they do have wins over Celtics & Lakers.
Randy Moss syndrome. They play when they wanna play.
