So now that we're tracking both the playoffs (the usual) and the lotto (the new) we have an expanded "While you were sleeping" schedule to track. Here was all the action from last night:
- No one was eaten by dinosaurs.
.
-
Bucks @ Warriors -- The Bucks lost, which is good, but not against the Warriors. We still want GSW to lose as much as possible. It just wasn't possible last night.
.
- Thunder @ Cavaliers -- Cleveland lost, which is not a surprise as they've sit their best player, point guard Kyrie Irving, for the remainder of the season.
- TImberwolves @ Rockets -- The better team won, and Minny is in that mediocrity our team was in for a few years.
Movers and Shakers:
- Nothing happened last night.

Tonight's Action:
Almost everyone is in action tonight!
- NYK @ PHI -- All glory to Phil Jackson, according to some fans.
- WAS @ LAL -- Wizards should handle these jokes easily. Bad for us if Lakers lose.
- BOS @ BKN -- Brooklyn is one of the hottest teams right now, so this is also bad for us if the Celtics lose.
- SAS @ SAC -- Spurs should handle their business, and again, it's bad for us if the Kings lose.
- DET @ PHX -- Pistons suck, and Suns are a .500 team right now. Edge goes to Phoenix though. It would be nice for the Suns to start winning a lot of games, but no pressure, Jeff Hornacek.
- NOP @ ATL -- New Orleans is in a slide and the Hawks have something to play for still. Should be a fun game though.
- DEN @ DAL -- Nuggets have had some surprising wins of late, but Dallas is still gunning for a high playoff seed. It's in our best interest if Dallas wins.
- MEM @ MIA -- Memphis is big, big enough to bang with Miami. They play great defense based on fundamentals. The Heat play great defense based on causing turn overs and counter attacking. There is a significant disparity in star power, but still, should be a hotly contested game.
The four teams directly behind the Jazz can gain 0.5 games to close the gap with losses tonight. We're idle.
