Dame with a back to back 50 burger, 61 this game his career high. His last 3 a prayer a 30 footer that hit the rim bounced 15 ft in the air before going in. His 6th 50 plus game this season giving him 11 for his career. That's going to be a great series if they get in Lakers vs. Blazers.
Looks like this is going to go to a play in to determine the the final playoff spot in the west.

Interesting article I read that said because of the financial havoc that covid-19 is wreaking on team finances, teams are going to be reluctant to fire guys that have guaranteed contracts to replace them with guys that they have to pay just as much. Divac and Walton have contracts extending to 2023 so they probably won't be fired, the article speculated the Kings might hire others to assist that brain trust of Divac/Joe Dumas but I see cost cutting in the picture, maybe Peja goes and they don't replace him and any contracts expiring this season don't get picked up.
Meanwhile, Dolan is on a spending spree in the worst COVID affected city in the country. Hmm.
When you have the most highly valued franchise in the game you can afford to ignore conventional wisdom that small market teams like Sactown can’t, at least for a while.
Manhattan looks to be in for a crash landing if this pandemic continues, retail and the restaurant industry already in a crisis with many flagship stores closing, dept stores in bankruptcy, many of them probably not returning even if the pandemic lifts. Knicks fans returning will be a telling sign, if the diehards that came out to fill MSG to capacity crowds don’t return despite all the losing that might spell the end of Dolans free spending ways to make the Knicks a winner.
Divac was true to his word, walking away from a contract that ended in 2023.Peja probably follows since he was Divacs guy amd he only committed to staying for the transition. Ranadive installed Dumars as the interim GM but I think that interim title might become a permanent one.
Just reading the inside story on Divac resigning. Seems Ranadive wanted to install a more collaborative relationship between Divac and Dumars giving more input to Dumars in front office decisions but Vlade objected to that. He is reportedly getting paid through the end of his contract.
He leaves the team in disarray so I’d expect they set a new record for futility and break the Clips record of 15 straight seasons without a playoff appearance.
