Celtics up 82-38 on the Warriors st the half without Porzingas. 140-88 final Curry 0-9 from three, and thus completely useless. Welcome to today's NBA. Listening to the post game in the car yesterday, and the radio announcers were handing them the title this year already. Remember when the Bucks blew the C's out so badly earlier this year that Mazzulla pulled the starters in the second half? I guess the Bucks are the Champs then? Or maybe teams get hot from three and run away and hide in these regular season games that nobody gives a shit about.

Bulls beat the Warriors in the Bay Area for the first time in 9 years after the Warriors miss a game tying lay up with seconds left Curry limped off with 3:51 left and the Warriors up 3. βHonestly, when I was going to the rim I thought (Vucevic) was still behind me,β Podziemski told NBC Sports Bay Area. βIn hindsight I looked back at the replay and Trayce (Jackson-Davis) kind of clipped him, so I was really wide open. But since I thought he was behind me and he could have chased it down and blocked it if I used my right hand, because thatβs what he would expect, thatβs why I tried to scoop it quick with the left. I didnβt know Trayce kind of hit him. βIn hindsight you could say, βYeah, I should have used my right handβ but I didnβt. I didnβt think Iβd be able to get it up because I thought he was behind me trailing.β

Skip Bayless: "I can't give this more than a 7 out of 10."
Basket would have sent it to overtime.

Domantas Sabonis just pushes through Anthony Davis like he's not even there. He's 10-0 lifetime against him.
Meanwhile...
The NBA's power brokers have officially had enough of the league's offensive explosion. On Tuesday, the league's competition committee held a meeting to discuss ways to empower defenses, both for the remainder of the season and moving forward, according to Shams Charania.
Here's Charania's full report:
"I'm told the NBA's competition committee, which is comprised of league executives, team executives, team officials, team owners, players, the NBA players union, they all met on Tuesday and they discussed ways to incorporate more defensive freedom, evaluating how to potentially allow more physicality, the merits of that and much more.
"They'll use the next few months and the offseason to strategize how to implement potential changes and allowing more defensive freedom into next season... This is something the league is discussing and a lot of it is because players and all these different stakeholders are bringing it up in these calls."
This season, the league averages for offensive rating (115.6), points per game (114.9), effective field goal percentage (.547) and 3-pointers made per team (12.8) are all the highest of all-time. Furthermore, there have been 66 instances of a team scoring at least 140 points in a game, which is by far the most ever with a month of the regular season still to play. And while the All-Star Game is an exhibition the Eastern Conference's 211 points made a mockery of the event.
There's plenty of evidence that some adjustments are already being made on the floor.
From the start of the 2022-23 season until the All-Star break of this season, there were only two games where a team scored fewer than 80 points. In the last three weeks, it has happened five times. The 152 combined points in the Philadelphia 76ers' 79-73 win over the New York Knicks on March 10 was the fewest in a game since 2016.
Fouls and free throws are down as well since play resumed. Prior to the All-Star break, the Charlotte Hornets were the only team in the league not averaging at least 20 free throws per game, and they were at 19.0. Since everyone got back from Indianapolis, only 13 teams are taking 20 free throws a game. The Memphis Grizzlies' 24 free throws a night post-All-Star break leads the league, but would have ranked eighth pre-All-Star.
Based on Charania's reporting, it appears that these numbers aren't a blip, but rather the result of conscious changes from the top on down. It will be fascinating to see if this trend continues, and if so, how it impacts the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs.

I think it's good they're adjusting for the product on the floor, if for nothing else than to get teams ready for post-season officiating if that's the memo. Any league that isn't afraid to change what's broke is good.

Warriors beat the Lakers, but thatβs not the story. Due to ref reviews, nearly 20 minutes passed with only 15 seconds of actual game time being played.

Warriors beat the Lakers, but thatβs not the story. Due to ref reviews, nearly 20 minutes passed with only 15 seconds of actual game time being played. We knocked AD out of the game early. Warriors have the 2-1 tiebreaker with one game left, in LA in the final week of the season.

Curry now 45-137 32.8% on 3s since the all-star break with airballs, home loss to Knicks and they're back to the #10 spot.
According to Basketball Reference's StatHead, Kyrie Irving's 21-ft lefty shot Sunday is the longest game-winning hook shot ever recorded. The 11th hook shot in league history (since 1996) from at least 20 feet, and the only one to win a game.

Rockets are now 1 game behind the Warriors for the last play-in spot.
Green +8 in 32 min, Curry +6 in 30, but they sat due to 5 road games in 7 days and lost by 4.
