NBA world reacting to Bam Adebayo's 83-point game: Erik Spoelstra: "I didn't dare even think about taking him out." Brian Keefe: "In the fourth quarter it turned into not a real basketball game." Giannis Antetokounmpo: "It doesn't matter how you get there ... Like 30 years from now, nobody's going to remember how many free throws he shot. I don't think I remember how many shots Kobe had or how many free throws he made or 3s. All you remember is 81. Wilt, 100 ... So, at the end of the day, he got 83 points." Kevin Durant: “I couldn’t believe it when I was hearing it in real time ... Congratulations to Bam ... I looked at his stats, it’s pretty crazy. 40 shots, 40 free throws, 20 3s ... To pass Kobe as the second-highest scorer in the history of the game, congrats to him ... Something we’ll talk about forever." Ime Udoka: "First thing you think is how? Not because of him, but because of the way he plays. I saw he only made [seven] 3s but 40 free throws or something like that, tells the story right there. And... the Washington Wizards." Kelly Oubre: “I’m just gonna say this man: Joel [Embiid] did it efficiently, and he did it in three quarters.” (📸: @MiamiHEAT)

A NEW ORLEANS PELICANS PATH TO THE PLAY-IN The Pelicans are getting healthy again, and the team clearly has the play-in within their goals. The problem is that they are currently 11 games behind the Clippers and only have 23 games left. I wanted to see what it would actually take to make a miracle run. Using playoffpredictors.com, I tried to identify the most realistic path for New Orleans to grab the 10-seed. This is what I came up with to get the Pelicans and the Clippers to a tie, with New Orleans taking the tie-breaker. It's NOT easy, but it's possible in theory: Pelicans' remaining games: W @ UTA, W @ UTA, W @ LAC, L @ LAL, W @ SAC, W @ PHX, W vs WSH, W vs TOR, L @ HOU, W vs DAL, W vs LAC, W vs LAC, L vs CLE, W @ NYK, L @ DET, W @ TOR, W vs HOU, W @ POR, W @ SAC, W vs ORL, W vs UTA, W @ BOS, L @ MIN Clippers' remaining games: L vs MIN, L vs NOP, L @ GSW, W vs IND, L @ SAS, W @ MEM, L vs NYK, L vs MIN, L vs CHI, W vs SAC, L vs SAS, L @ NOP, L @ NOP, L vs DAL, L vs MIL, L vs TOR W @ IND, L @ MIL, L vs POR, L vs SAS, W @ SAC, W vs DAL, L vs OKC, L @ POR, W vs GSW

Crazy I was so scared of what it would feel like if we lost this game . The Wr group enjoyed ourselves in MIA during the 1st round bye , it was advised to us to get away. We were the NFC #1 seed my first real playoff action. Stakes were high and we went down 14-0 quick.. And all I kept telling myself is we just can’t go out like 2016-17 giants on that yacht. Then I turnt up.

Would you rather sign Breece Hall or draft Jeremiyah Love? @ChatSports
