Rough night for the BKN pick. CLE loses (again). TOR beat MIN. But… CHA did win.
CLE (7th seed, #17 pick) and MIN (#18) are just two losses ahead of BKN. CHA (9th) is half-game behind BKN but unlikely to catch them.
Pick is still #16, but CLE is a huge concern. – 9:58 PM

If I told you in October the Bulls would be 4 games out of first in the East-what would you have said? How about the Cavs 6 out? How about the Nets -the 8th seed? How about Memphis 30 games over .500 or Dallas headed to the playoffs? Lakers the 11th seed? Love the NBA. – 9:56 PM

The Mavs did the Bulls a favor as they beat the Cavs ( without Evan Mobley) 120-112. The fifth seed Bulls lead the seventh seed Cavs by 2 games . Toronto pulled even with the Bulls after blowing out Minnesota. Bulls own the tiebreaker. – 9:52 PM

B2B typical Josh Green plays: Keeps a possession alive by tapping an offensive rebound to the perimeter, setting up a Bullock 3. Gets a steal on the next Cleveland possession.

Mavs trailing CLE at halftime 67-61, the 67 pts the 2nd most 1st half pts allowed all season (MIA 70 on 11/2) and tied for the 3rd most pts allowed in any half. Mavs have now trailed at halftime in 10 of their last 14 games (Won 5 of prior 9). 2nd half soon @theeagledallas – 8:12 PM

Remember Josh Richardson, who spent last season with the Mavericks? He’s quietly averaged 18.3 points and shot 42.9 percent from 3-point range in the Spurs’ four-game win streak that has put them into the play-in picture. Good dude. Glad he is having some success. – 3:33 PM

“What I was told from someone familiar w/ the situation was that the back thing got tweaked during during his 1st times and days on the court with Steve Nash….”

📅 On this day in 1979, the @Golden State Warriors Robert Parish had 30 points, 32 rebounds, and five assists in a 114-98 win over the Knicks.
Parish is one of only three players since the ABA-NBA merger to record at least 30p/30r/5a in a game (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kevin Love). pic.twitter.com/4cSTpAuIH0 – 2:01 PM

Brought a game of @NBAMathHoops to life yesterday with @RocketMortgage and a little help from @Lauri Markkanen and @Cedi Osman! 🏀
Students worked to solve math problems to determine where our guys would shoot from for a chance to score points!

Last night I complimented @seanheath on bilingual skills when introducing Mavs and Jazz lineups in Spanish a couple of nights earlier on Los Mavs Night.
“Or is it trilingual?” I asked.
He held up 5 fingers. Not bragging. Hey, I asked.
He’s the Luka Doncic of P.A. announcers. – 1:25 PM

The last time the Lakers were in Dallas, they enjoyed one of their few triumphs of the season with Austin Reaves’ game-winning 3.
This time, they suffered their latest tribulation, falling out of the Play-In tournament with only seven games left: theathletic.com/3217621/2022/0… – 1:16 PM

Can the #Pistons make the kind of leap next season that division rival Cleveland took this year?
That and a lot more about what the future holds for the Pistons in this week’s edition of Pistons Mailbag.
