Don’t get me wrong – I support DJ’s in clubs. But in a season that has gone horribly wrong the wrost thing to happen to the Knicks is the nightly DJ’s. At least Bing Bong had one magical moment. – 7:51 PM

I think Julius Randle is a pretty good high-end comp for Trendon Watford. – 7:47 PM

The @Dallas Mavericks will play the #Nets tonight at 6:30. Since the game is in Brooklyn, Nets G Kyrie Irving will not be playing because of New York City’s vaccine mandate — and because he is not vaccinated for COVID-19. Irving scored 60 pts last night in a game in Orlando. – 6:45 PM

Feels good to be home.

COLUMN: Everyone who watched Emoni Bates practice Wednesday in Portland, who watched this Memphis basketball season full of twists and turns, thought the same thing.
He’s going to play, isn’t he?

📅 On this day in 2021, the @Portland Trail Blazers Damian Lillard scored 50 points on just 20 shots from the field in a 125-124 win over the Pelicans.
Lillard is one of only four players in NBA history to record a 50-point game while taking 20 or fewer shots from the field. pic.twitter.com/6FGxUBFoAq4:01 PM

Chauncey Billups was a member of the ’97 Colorado team that upset Bobby Knight/Indiana in 1st round of #NCAATourney then lost to Dean Smith/UNC in the 2nd round. Coach shared his memories with us on #Blazers Courtside. We’ll replay on today’s pregame at 3:35 on @RipCityRadio620. – 3:14 PM
