I bet the over on the Utah game tonight.
Got involved in a poker tournament and pretty much forgot the bet.
Checked the score with about 7 minutes left, there were 211 points, patted myself on the back (the line was 230)
Then I dug into the box score to see who did what because I'm a geek like that.
It was 91-90 at the end of three quarters.
Utah opened the fourth quarter with a 20-2 run.
Are you kidding me?
Utah is scary good.
That makes them 25 and 6 now, best in the NBA.
Six weeks ago, Jan 6 Utah was 5 and 4, then went on an eleven game win streak, lost to Denver at Denver where it's next to impossible to win there, no disgrace in that loss, then went on a nine game win streak, then lost to the Clips in LA, no disgrace in that loss either.
They're 20 and 2 in their last 22 and are clearly the best team in the NBA.
Lakers ain't repeating without AD, and Kuzma has a bad back.
Phoenix is 10 and 2 in their last 12 and gained no ground.
Look at Utah's defensive metrics.
As a tram they're second best.
On offense only Brooklyn scores more.
Utah is to the NBA right now what Gonzaga is to NCAA.
