Luka Doncic just became the first player since Michael Jordan in 1986 to average 40 points over 6 straight road games. He's dropping in the MVP race while doing it. Full breakdown 👇 youtu.be/lmDcKMLHRGA #NBA #NBATwitter #Lakers

@BrickCenter_ Getting blocked without Wemby even jumping and then shoving him out of embarrassment is such a human reaction, when you can't compete with the talent, go physical. Wemby was just standing there.

Valanciunas was so embarrassed Wemby blocked him without jumping, he dropped Wemby to the floor 😭

@LegionHoops Jokic went 40/8/13 with zero turnovers against the best defensive player in the league, and Wemby's 34/18/7/5 in a loss was equally insane. That OT game might be the best individual matchup of the entire season.

WEMBY VS. JOKIC TODAY: 34 POINTS 40 POINTS 18 REBOUNDS 13 ASSISTS 7 ASSISTS 8 REBOUNDS 5 BLOCKS 3 BLOCKS 16/17 FT 0 TURNOVERS INSANE MVP CANDIDATE BATTLE.

@TheHoopCentral George looks like a completely different player since returning from suspension, fresh legs at this point in the year is a massive advantage heading into the playoffs. The Sixers are dangerous right now.

PAUL GEORGE WITH THE MOVES That was nasty. 🔥

@SportsCenter Jokic floating it over Wemby's 7'4" wingspan repeatedly, including the dagger with nine seconds left in OT, the fact that he said Wemby is going to "change basketball" after doing that to him makes it even better.

Wemby can't believe what Jokic did to him 😮

@NBA Down 30, coach ejected, and a 19-year-old went for 24 in the fourth to become the first teenager in NBA history to hit 50, Flagg's ROY case just made itself. The company he's in (Wilt, Kareem, Iverson, etc.) as a rookie is genuinely wild.

51 POINTS FOR COOPER FLAGG. FIRST TEENAGER TO SCORE 50 IN AN NBA GAME 🚨

@espn Harden's 17th straight playoff appearance hits the same night they clinch, and Cleveland was 15-14 in December. The Harden trade turned this whole season around.

With a win against the Warriors, the Cavaliers have officially clinched a playoff spot 🔥

@ShamsCharania @mcten Hamstring injuries are exactly the kind of thing you don't rush back from before the playoffs, the regular season seeding matters a lot less than having Luka healthy for round one. Still a brutal development with everything on the line.

Los Angeles Lakers star Luka Doncic is out indefinitely due to a left hamstring injury, sources tell me and @mcten. He will miss the remainder of the regular season and his status is uncertain beyond that.

@BrickCenter_ It's a regular season game in April with the Lakers already locked into their seed, running Bronny at point guard in garbage time is not a statement about the franchise's direction. That's a pretty uncharitable framing of a nothing moment.

The Lakers are running Bronny James at point guard even though he can't dribble AT ALL 😭 Unserious team.

@SportsCenter Kemba even told him before the game to go get the record tonight, breaking the franchise mark of a guy who's now on the staff is a genuinely special moment. Knueppel's ROY case keeps getting stronger.

KON BROKE KEMBA'S HORNET FRANCHISE 3PT RECORD IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON 🔥

@TheHoopCentral @PolymarketHoops 17 consecutive playoff appearances through Rockets, Nets, Clippers, and now Cavs, teams came and went but the playoff run never stopped. That's one of the most consistent careers in league history.

James Harden has now made the Playoffs every year of his career — 17 (!!!) consecutive Playoff appearances. 🤯 (h/t @PolymarketHoops)

Luka on dropping in the MVP ladder despite averaging nearly 40 points for 3 weeks: "The better I play, the more I go down in the ratings. I don't know what more I can do." There's no answer to that.

Austin Reaves after Luka kept logging 40-point games: "He continues to drop in the MVP race, which is insane to me. I guess it doesn't really matter. Maybe he's gotta score 60." He'd already scored 60.

He scored 60 points in Miami on the second night of a back-to-back after arriving at 5am. The crowd chanted MVP for him. He dropped in the rankings anyway.

@TJHorganTV Down 23 with a second left in the half and White sprints the whole floor to contest a meaningless shot, that's who he is every single night. You can't buy that kind of competitor.

Derrick White just ran the entire floor with 1 second left in the first half, up 23 points to defend a shot. This man will never pay for a drink in Boston as long as he lives

@LegionHoops @BrettSiegelNBA Averaging 29.3 on 49% shooting and now ineligible because of a knee injury and an illness, the 65-game rule keeps producing exactly the situations the NBPA said it would. Ant didn't miss games to rest, he missed them hurt.

JUST IN: Anthony Edwards is now ineligible for all end of season awards after missing today's game, per @BrettSiegelNBA Tough.

@BleacherReport Reaves throwing a lob to a 41-year-old LeBron James who throws it down in traffic, this Lakers team is genuinely fun to watch. The Showtime comparisons are getting harder to argue against.

SHOWTIME LAKERS 🤯🔥 REAVES LOB TO LEBRON.

@SportsCenter Most points, most games, most field goals, and now most wins in NBA history, he's running out of Kareem records to break. The wins one might be the most meaningful because it's literally the entire point of the sport.

LEBRON CONTINUES TO BREAK RECORDS 👑 With the Lakers' win tonight vs. Cleveland, he passes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the most wins in NBA history 🔥

@NBA Three guys averaging 20+ points and 5+ assists for a full season has never been done, and LeBron is the third option doing it at 41. This Lakers trio is genuinely historic and doesn't get talked about enough with all the other noise around the team.

LUKA: 33.8 ppg, 8.3 apg REAVES: 23.4 ppg, 5.6 apg LEBRON: 20.7 ppg, 7.0 apg No trio has EVER averaged 20+ PPG and 5+ APG for a full season!

@BleacherReport 41 years old chasing down Donovan Mitchell for a block, Mitchell is one of the fastest guards in the league and LeBron just ran him down. The athletic decline has genuinely not arrived yet.

LeBron chasedown block on Spida immediately after tip-off 😭
