A three way tie for 8, 9 and 10 in the East- Brooklyn, Charlotte and Atlanta.
The Nets are in danger of having to win 2 elimination games just to have the opportunity to face either Miami, Philly, Milwaukee or Chicago in round 1.
Nets play at Charlotte on Tues. – 3:34 PM

Steve Aschburner @AschNBA
50 years ago today, the Milwaukee Bucks promoted Wayne Embry to general manager, making him the first black GM in pro sports and opening doors for others.
But in Milwaukee, Embry was SO the logical hire that one newspaper didn’t even mention his race.

“Don’t forget a guy named Devin Booker too, he’s pretty decent.”
Mike Budenholzer was asked about playing the Suns without Chris Paul and made sure to mention Book before being highly complimentary of the way this team competes no matter who’s on the floor: pic.twitter.com/Wz5i1hjmr92:22 PM

Cheshire Phoenix breeze to a 115-72 win over Glasgow Rocks in the second leg of their semi – a 205-174 aggregate victory and a showdown with either London or Bristol at the Emirates Arena on 20 March.
Rocks simply awful defensively. – 2:21 PM

“I’m not going to write a poem.”
Monty Williams when asked about being back in Milwaukee where #Suns season ended last year and what it means to be back here.
Says they just want win today, but talked about how he’s gone out of his way to express respect for Bucks beating them. pic.twitter.com/dqmRq9eDQf2:14 PM

Gerald Bourguet @GeraldBourguet
Talking about how the Bucks made his team better, Monty Williams compared it to a boxer getting caught with a cross and then keeping their left up after that. He said he told Giannis at the All-Star Game that he made the Suns better – 2:10 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Monty Williams emphasized the importance of Deandre Ayton having a great game today that is within the Suns’ system. For example, they didn’t prominently feature Cam Johnson the other night. Williams said he’s fine with DA mixing in the jumpers. Called it a balance for him. – 2:09 PM

Milwaukee #Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer said there is not a timeline they’re willing to share for a return to action for center Brook Lopez, but reiterated that being cleared to scrimmage with contact is a big step.

Mike Budenholzer said the Suns do a great job of playing without anybody because of the culture they’ve established. Credited their level of execution and said you have to respect anyone in a Suns jersey. – 1:50 PM

He would have a ring, but with KD leading the way…. it is not my point that he isn’t an all-star player… it’s that he isn’t at that NEXT level…. Kawhi, Giannis, KD level… Did you watch the Olympics? – 1:29 PM

Here’s a little Sunday morning reality check – Miami, Brooklyn, Philly (if Harden does in fact re-up) and Milwaukee currently will be running back very similar squads the next two years. Bulls current core will never beat that. What to look for? Jokic free agency ’23 offseason. – 1:17 PM
Jim Owczarski @JimOwczarski
Today is the 1st time the #Suns are in town since, ya know. But remember #TheBlock in Game 4?
Deandre Ayton does.
“I think Giannis stole that ball more than block because I didn’t even like try to slam it.”
