Congrats! Is he on the roster for the playoffs? If not, who is?

Probably either him or Miller.

Jersey day on Thursday in tribute to the Humboldt Broncos. I'm wearing Demar's 10 because I work on a teen psych unit and Demar is battling depression. Also because I couldn't get a JV jersey on short notice!

Damn... Cavs in 5 guys.

Watching TNT. Kenny and Chuck think Raptors will blow the Wiz away. Shaq still a hater with no faith in Kyle and Demar. What he doesn't realize is that Raptors can now beat most teams even with those two having mediocre nights. So long as Demar moves the ball we're good. If OG and Pascal keep hitting threes and JV and Serge just keep playing like they have been.....wow. If Kyle shoots well it's a bonus and Demar can lie in the weeds until he's needed to score. But.....what they really need to do is defend with intensity. Do that and I really believe they could go all the way.

You can knock off those first four outcomes with Philly beating Atlanta (unsurprisingly). Cleveland and Milwaukee wins are now the only scenario where we avoid Cleveland in the second round.

Washington continues to hold a slim lead over Boston, which would eliminate those first eight scenarios from the bottom table if it holds.

Good news is Utah up big over GSW.

A Utah win would mean the Miami game means nothing....except the 60 win thing which would be nice but. And we already have the remarkable Goldblum thread. Casey can rest the weary.

It does potentially determine who finishes 8th (assuming Washington holds their 15 point lead tonight); a loss to Miami means we probably play Washington or Milwaukee in the first round, a win means we probably play Miami. But I'm not a fan of Raptors trying to pick their opponent.
