Finals firming up. Lakers looking a bit scary at their best. Can they last multiple 7 game series in a row? Don't think so. If the Grizzlies can get Adams back they will be a real threat. What if Zion comes back for the Pels? Maybe this is the year of the dark horse.
Reckon the Kings are the flakiest team to end the regular season as Div Champs, for as long as I can remember anyway.
Don't reckon they will last long into the playoffs at all.
Fingers crossed that OKC at least make the playins - with the Jazz appearing to have put the cue in the rack, and Irving doing what Irving does (wrecking teams), there is a decent shot.

Giddey (OKC) Mills (Nets) Simmons (Nets) Ingles (Bucks) Landale (Suns) Daniels (Pels) Delly (Kings) Travers (Cavs) White (Nuggets) Moneke (Kings)?
What does this list mean? It means that if you have an Aussie in your squad you are going to play finals.
But not Green (probably the most deserving of all the Aussies) because Mavs did the stupid thing and brought Irving into the side (he don’t count as an Aussie even tough he was born in Melbourne) and because they tanked the last game of the season. No Cooks in Washington either – but it doesn’t really count there because they brought him in too late to make finals. If they had brought him in at the start of the season – they play finals. Thybulle counts – because he played for the most part of the season at the 76’s before he got traded to the sinking Trailblazers – and even his pedigree could not save that inept franchise.
It’s irrefutable. Get on board NBA teams – go get yourself an Aussie.

Josh hit more threes in that video that his old man made in 450 NBL games.
What is this guy’s ceiling? He’s our Magic - nothing could be truer. Please, please oh Basketball Gods - let him lead OKC to championships and beyond. The game will explode in Australia if he does. Nothing surer.
My 76’s looking solid. Good contributions from all the cast. Right time to hit top form. Embid a monty for MVP.
Pretty cool to see New Orleans Pelican, Aussie Dyson Daniels at the game last night in a Tigers jumper. Was a a very good jnr footballer apparently.
I didn’t either. And despite being uncertain of title aspirations, I didn’t expect the Celtics to be struggling with the .500 Hawks either.
I had the privilege of watching the Big G dominate the Knicks at MSG in 2019. He single handedly won that game on his own. The Knicks fans thought they had them covered but he dominated and threw down a 30 foot 3 pointer (a la Young yesterday) to beat them on the buzzer.
It was awesome. (I went off and wasn’t popular with the Knicks fans.)

Gianni has One of the more incredible back stories, dirt poor from Greece. And has always remained humble.
There’s a really good podcast series about he got discovered, he truly is one in a million. Amazed they got beat, Jimmy Buckets got ‘em.
That must have been Amazing Red. I love the NBA & watch heaps of it. One day I hope to see an NBA game live but not yet. On the bucket list.
Do you know what the podcast was called Scoop? I'd like to listen to it.
That play to force OT today by Butler was awesome. Incredible player. In bound pass by Vincent over Giannis just as good. Pin point.
