It’s hard to believe the Thunder only have twenty-six regular season games left in the regular season. The whole season to me feels somewhat disjointed with the injuries to both the Thunder and Denver Nuggets. It feels as if the season has really never gotten going when you figure out Boston and Indiana are boh playing without their two No. 1 stars in Tatum and Haliburton as well.
Just a very odd feeling season for me. The upside is two young teams in San Antonio and Detroit have shown tremendous advancement in becoming serious challengers this post season.
Throw in the NY Knicks and Minnesota Timbervolves and that would be my Top 6 here at the break.
I would then include Houston, Boston, and Cleveland as my No. 7, No. 8., and No. 9. The question we all ask ourselves is who exactly is going to be healthy and playing for both Oklahoma City and Denver when the playoffs begin. If this were March Madness the Toronto Raptors might be someone I’d pick as a Cinderella to make some noise.
I watched very little of the All-Star Game festivities. It’s too much, and coming so close on the heels of the Super Bowl…I’ve taken a break and have been watching the Winter Olympics.
Hopefully, next Monday when we’re back from Colorado… I’ll be back on here and the players will be healthier and rested from the break.
Adam Silver hopes so.
Good luck to both of Team USA’s ice hockey teams.
