Doncic got ejected for hitting Sexton in the groin (it doesn't add to his technical total so it doesn't trigger an automatic one game suspension. It's yet to be seen if the league will still suspend him for the groin punch).

Doncic's eyes were bugging out when they said he was ejected.

Russ running after the ball after missing the game winner was too perfect.

I don't get Brooks telling the team to push the ball on the final play and not taking a TO when ATL had 4 guys back in the paint making it 2 on 4

so pissed i set an alarm for that drop and then still missed it because when alarm went off i couldn't remember why i set it

there's a number of different analytic sites that all measure value using different metrics, i'd search for the moment on those and see what they think is fair value - most of premium serial moments aren't priced to move but rather priced for fomo

there's so much more sellers than buyers and most sellers are listing at silly prices that anything priced at market rates is gone pretty quick - seems like you'll need to overpay, get a non vanity serial or just wait it out and hope someone lists at a fair price, in which case you'll have a decent shot at getting it if you catch it in the first hour - i've been doing lots of scalping and beginning to think best route going forward is to just buy packs

Utah is helping out with poor shooting and turnovers, but this is about as well as I've seen Curry's supporting cast play all year.

Yeah beating Utah and Curry's had not a huge impact. First NBA game I've watched this season.

Utah as #1 seed

Warriors lose to Lakers in 7/8 Play-In but win the other Play-In to be the 8th seed.

Then the Warriors sweep the Jazz. Oh man.

So Jordan Clarkson is just a low fg% chucker. Didn't know teams still were into that.

It would be painful if I hadn't warned of this season long debacle since the off-season thread; as it is, the end is coming only as I expected it.

Don't let Ainge off the hook. Replacing Stevens (does he even want to stay?) must be well considered, but a roster overhaul is also required.

Currently, Pritchard & Nesmith are back of the rotation players. Rob Williams can't stay on the floor. Grant Williams just sucks. Langford makes RWilliams look like Lou Gehrig. Neither Waters nor Edwards is an NBA player.

Nesmith's development should be hot-housed the rest of the way: 38 minutes a night. Put Pritchard on the floor; cut some of Smart and Walker's time. Let Fall play in RWilliams' (assuming he's done) place to see if Fall has any chance of keeping up with game speed.

GrWilliams, DNP-CD the rest of the way, please.

Exiting in the play-in is preferable to being out-classed & embarrassed by Brooklyn or Milwaukee.

The Warriors have beaten the Jazz two out of three games this season. But I think it would be nearly impossible for the Warriors to beat the Jazz over a full series. The Jazz are perfectly designed to defend Curry. They are big on the perimeter and excel at running Curry off the 3 point line. And they have an elite shot blocker that prevents Curry from getting all the way to the rim too often. The net result is that Curry has to take a lot of absurdly difficult 3s (even by his standards) and a lot of tough 12 foot floaters. And the supporting cast has to make a lot of shots.

That happened last night, but it won't happen often enough for the Warriors to have any real chance in a series. Curry's line last night was pretty typical of what he will do in a series against Utah (11 for 25 with a lot of free throws and modest number of made 3s by his standards), but the Warriors would be lucky to get an efficient 20 points from Jordan Poole even one time in a full series against the Jazz.
