I was thinking, with Lebron on contract for another year, MJ should trade all his stars for him as one last "fuck you" to the GOAT-pretender. Imagine the ignominy for Lebron of getting traded and playing for MJ in Washington on a team with no help.
Absolutely savage. Do you mean Charlotte though, not Washington?

Final day of the regular season, and first string players will be watching everywhere
In the West the play-ins were decided a while back, with the T-Wolves hosting the Clippers in the "major" and Pels hosting the Spurs in the "minor". Clippers suddenly look really good and i expect them to win. Spurs will win too if Murray is healthy.
Nets v Cavs and Hawks v Hornets in the East
After that the fun starts.
Oh, interesting stat i just read. Trey Young the first person to lead the league in total points and total assists in a single season in both the NBA and the NCAA

Looks like Frank Vogel has been fired as Lakers coach. It's not really his fault that they assembled such a flawed team, but as always it is easier to fire the coach than get rid of the players. This will not be the end of the pain, as LBJ AD and Westbrick command a huge chunk of salary which will hamper any attempts to retool

On January 6 Celtics were the 11th seed in the East.
They finish the season the 2nd seed in the East.
Impressive turnaround.
Tatum has averaged more than 28 ppg in that stretch including a couple of big 50+ point games. Their defence has been impressive and Marcus Smart leading the offence has made a huge difference.
In a playoff defensive slog, they will miss Williams III

And for their efforts, they'll likely get the honour of playing Brooklyn. They'd have been much better off dropping a spot and getting Chicago.
Will be a wicked series for the neutral though. Tatum v Durant, Smart trying to guard Kyrie. Brown could. The difference.
Edit - meant to add, I think the reason they didn't try to drop is that they couldn't afford to risk dropping to 4th where they would get the Raptors - too many unvaxxed guys (Brown and Horford I believe)

Nets as expected take care of the Cavs
Kyrie cooking with 34 and 12
Durant with 25 and 11 -
