It’s still a bit early to be “sweating” any games when there are over 20 contests left to play for most teams, but it is true that every game will matter for some of these teams moving forward. Simmons should just remember not to say such things towards Kobe Bryant, before the guard throws a “Sweat THAT” tweet at him.
Just to be sure his team wasn’t left off the conversation, Rockets general manager Daryl Morey also chimed in on Simmons’ thought:
Good news for Morey, though: Houston plays eight of its next 12 games at home, and six of the final nine contests in April are against lottery teams. Of course, I’m sure Mr. Morey is breaking those facts down to the core in his evil science lab full of stats no one knows or understands.
For those keeping count, the Bucks beat the Jazz in a thrilling 109-108 overtime finish.
