But they lost to the Hawks in the play-in!
Miami, who almost didn't make the playoffs, is a win away from the NBA Finals.

The NBA coaching carousel reaches terminal speed
Monty Williams is dismissed by a baffling billionaire. PLUS: Jayson Tatum chokes out the Sixers and Ja Morant is the bad influence.

Naptime for the Warriors
Golden State's season comes to a premature end. PLUS: Jalen Brunson literally isn't enough.

We should have 9 All-NBA teams, not 3
Let's go back to the top 10% of the league getting honored.

Devin Booker can't miss
PLUS: James Harden is clutch now and the Warriors are back on the ropes.

James Harden put on his big boy pants
PLUS: Nikola Jokic is the best player in the Suns vs. Nuggets series, in case you were wondering.

Bucked around, found out
Miami vanquishes the East favorite in five. PLUS: The Warriors conjure up a victory, the Knicks advance and the Grizzlies survive another day.

The Clippers' superteam goes missing again
PLUS: It's getting cold in Boston and a rant about the NBA's cowardly scheduling.

We need to shut down the 76ers until we figure out what's going on
PLUS: Local beam remains unlit and LA almost survives without Kawhi.

Another gut punch for the Timberwolves
PLUS: Maybe Miami is just not very good?

A play-in adjustment idea that leads to a playoff adjustment idea
PLUS: DeMar DeRozan's daughter exacts revenge on the Raptors for making her move to Texas. Also, Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma escalate their beef.

California beamin'
The Kings know who they are, and now everyone else does too.

Kings put their foot down
PLUS: Local podcaster ejected, Eastern contender looking rather complete, Dumb Tax charged against tankers.

Goodbye, Mavericks. That was weird
Dallas waves the white flag. PLUS: The East bracket is set.

Yes, low-seed West teams should aim for No. 6
This isn't rocket science. The Kings are largely untested; the Suns have Kevin Durant. Plus, if you think you have a better shot against the Grizzlies than the Suns, the 7th seed might not be so

It's not *just* the drought
Summing up the Sacramento Kings' last 16 years as simply a playoff drought ignores a lot more pain.

Is it time to bury the Mavericks?
A meditation on a horrific weekend for Dallas. PLUS: the duality of Jordan Poole, continued confusion around the Heat and "the LeBron James of feet" according to LeBron James.

Wasting Dame('s) Time
Damian Lillard rejects Ringz Culture. But isn't there a middle ground between that and ensuring you experience modest team success at the peak of your career?

Are the Nuggets okay?
Jamal Murray looks unwell and also played 40 minutes. The defense has regressed. The seed is safe but the future isn't.

How many Steph Curry points does it take to get the Warriors a road win? We may never know
And other NBA riddles.
