Pretty manageable schedule coming up. Not that the games will be easy by any means but they have 1 real playoff contender on the schedule in the next 12 games...

@Utah, Clippers, Warriors perhaps without Butler, Blazers

Wizards (twice), Thunder at home, @Pelicans, Heat and Mavs probably without AD then Pelicans and Spurs at home

This will be an opportunity to make a real run at the 4 seed or at the very least strengthen their hold on a playoff spot.

We do play Milwaukee the finals 2 games of the season.  

It's crazy because if home court is up for grabs in a 4/5 matchup with the Bucks we could wind up with what amounts to 2 extra playoff games in that series. Not that I want any part of the Bucks in a first round series.

Indy would be the most fun with the all the ejections and suspensions that are sure to come. These teams hate each other and I can't see Stew and Holland making it through that series without getting tossed and/or suspended at least once.

Knicks could be fun based upon how we've played them so far, but you're playing 5 on 9 with the refs and Adam Silver all needing NYK to advance to the second round for ratings.

The odd stat of the day.

Beasley is only shooting 66% from the line.  I would love someone to dig in and find the best/worst 3PT/FT shooting seasons of all time.  

Making things even more odd.  66% is a full 10 points below his career average.

My only shot in the dark theory would be that JB has them all playing at a higher energy level - more running, more defending, that you see guys are getting to the line really out of breath. Maybe that's a bigger issue for a guy who's been in the league for a while and is acclimated to less pace.

65 guys shoot >=38% from three and have enough attempts to qualify for the leaderboard. 

The average from the line for those 65 is 82.4%.

3 other players in that group shoot sub 70%.  Dorian Finney-Smith, Josh Hart, and Ochai Agbaji.  All 3 shoot exactly 66.7% from the line.

Sam Hauser shoots 100% from the line.  But has only taken 4 free throws on 312 field goal attempts.

I’d have laughed at anyone suggesting home court for a play in game.  And here we are, home court for the first round is a legit possibility.
