  2. The Clippers have lost 4 out of their last 5 games, with losses to Atlanta, New Orleans, Minnesota and Milwaukee.. Paul George said after the game, “Right now, I don’t think we have an identity” Is this nothing, something or everything?
  3. The Suns lose to the Giannis-less Bucks, in a game that Middleton described Dame as “Picking the Suns apart”… The Suns are 7-6 in their last 13 games.. is the recent play of the Suns, nothing, something or everything?
  4. Jalen Brunson has 2 consecutive 40 points games, against the Blazers and the Kings. The Knicks have won 5 of their last 7 games and are getting healthier by the week.. is this stretch from the Knicks something, nothing or everything?

  3. Pick a player, other than Rudy Gobert, to win DPOY
  4. Pick a player, other than Jokic, to win MVP…
