  1. I’m actually rooting for the Mavs tonight. My hatred of the Lakers has gradually increased every year of the LeBron Era, and if the Mavs win the Rockets clinch a guaranteed lottery pick via the Suns being eliminated from the postseason.
  2. Rockets magic number for a guaranteed lottery pick is 1. What a time to be alive! The Suns have to go 3-0 and the Mavs have to 0-3, for the Suns to make the play in.
  3. Sit anybody that isn’t a 1000% healthy. That means JVV and Amen. The current injury report lists Jabari, FVV, and Segun as questionable. The Clippers really need a W, all the 32 win teams do. I suspect it’ll be a smooth ass kicking with Reed and Whitmore taking 40 shots.
  4. For our gamblers, the Rockets are getting 24-1 odds on DraftKings to make the Finals
  5. Simmons is so fucking regarded, but I can’t look away. If Russillo or one of the Ringer’s basketball nerds isn’t on to check him, he just says the dumbest shit imaginable. I think if the Jazz draft Flagg, Simmons will die inside. Hopefully the Rockets use the Suns pick to select Tre Johnson, Fears, or Clayton Jr.
  6. The Suns are down 26 in the 3rd to GSW. Lottery pick is looking pretty good. Suns close with Thunder, Spurs, and Kings. They could easily lose their last 4 games.
  7. Hang in there. It gets better. Willie Boy should have lead off the show.
  8. The Lakers 8 seed dream is still alive! I would play everybody against them on Friday if they lose in Dallas tomorrow.
  9. Awesome. Luka missing the Dallas Homecoming Game because of technicals is so on brand.
  10. Does Luka play tomorrow? The Lakers are up 1.5 games on the Nuggets with 3 to go.
  11. The Netflix show has been a bit of a dud. - Joe Rogan is always terrible on panel, and this was no exception. He’s obviously on mushrooms and just grins like an idiot the whole time. - Segura was equally terrible on panel. - The Musk impression really didn’t work. - Redban dunked his entire head in hair dye. Hilarious. - Ari and Casey of course picked the absolute worst time to perform their worst sets in 12+ months. - There are some funny surprises I don’t want to spoil.
  12. I love this shit. The dumbass Lakers’ beat writers lost their minds this afternoon when the team upgraded the big 3 to probable. “OMG! The Lakers are going for it! Trying to win the 2 seed!” Will they play Luka in Dallas tomorrow? There’s very little incentive to play him on the tail end of a back to back.
  13. Did the Lakers try to bluff the Thunder into shutting down their starters with that bullshit injury report this afternoon? Reaves, Luka, and LeBron will all play at least 35-36 minutes tonight.
  14. Shit just got real.
  15. I saw that. It’s like somebody within the organization realized they weren’t mathematically eliminated from the 2 seed and sprinted to the plane to tell Pelinka.
  16. Probably worth a watch just for the score. I like the concept, I like the cast, you can do it Disney!
  17. Check out the Lakers’ injury report for tonight. Luka, LeBron, and Reaves are questionable and not expected to play per the Ringer.
  18. Did the Nuggets have a bench of young guys that just weren’t working out? It feels like every maxed out team in the NBA has a bench full of 3 and D veterans on league minimum deals.
  19. Wow on Malone. It’s clear he got blamed when I’d argue it’s the front office’s fault for building a team without a bench.
  20. I like the Locked on Rockets podcast. Host knows ball and makes some points I wouldn’t normally think about. Also I believe it’s the only daily Rockets podcast.
  21. Amen getting some run as DPOY on the Athletic’s NBA show. I don’t see it, it should be Dort, but I hope he finishes in the top 5/takes votes away from Draymond Green.
