I want to say no because I strongly dislike the Lakers but is there an alternate universe where they could have been competitive or won a game against a team that wasn't Denver?

Different game, same story. Lakers start strong in the first to lead by ten, and Denver takes over in the second half. Denver wins by 7 and that's eleven in a row over LA. Lakers are headed for Cancun on Saturday. Is this one going to be called a "competitive sweep" as well?

I never saw the original episode and my first thought after the recap was: he hates her for making them move to Florida and buy that house.

Congratulations to Indiana for being the first road team to win a game!

Lakers were up fifteen at halftime and led for 98% of the game. Jamal Murray hit the buzzer-beater and called game 😁

Philly was up by five with under a minute left, and then proceeded to give up 8 points in 27 seconds to lose and go down 0-2. Not sure how they come back from that.

Finally, we got a competitive game, close to the final minute possession, and it was a 1 vs. 8! If New Orleans can replicate this effort for the rest of the series OKC's got their work cut out for them. The other seven games this weekend, they weren't as close as their final scores would have made you believe. 8/8 clean sweeps for the home team.

I knew it immediately that Callie from Idaho would choose House #3 despite all of the things she said she disliked about it because it was two minutes away from her parents. She came across as the type that was going to constantly pawn her daughter off on her parents. How big of a truck did she have that she went on and on about a three-car garage even though she would be the only person living there that had a vehicle? (Did the ex-husband have it in legal writing that she couldn't mention their daughter's name on television or something? It came across so stilted and awkward how she would constantly reference "my daughter" and even stranger still when her sister would say "your daughter" considering you'd think you would just naturally say "my niece" if not kiddo's actual name?)

I was more focused on how much of an ex-boyfriend the ex-boyfriend/father of the younger two was and whether or not he was in the picture at all, considering how she portrayed a clear division versus the three older children that weren't coming with her and the two younger ones that were.

Good news: Steph had six turnovers of the Warriors' sixteen, Klay went 0/6 from three and 0/10 from the field, Sabonis outplayed Draymond, and Sacramento won by 24. GSW is eliminated from the playoffs. Bad news: Lakers win by four in the last minute of the game after Zion left with a quad (?) injury. But at least they are 99% likely to get swept by the Nuggets in humiliating fashion just like last year.

I just saw this episode and I'm confused why the dad's year-long military deployment necessitated the parents moving in and demoting the two boy children to a smaller room across the house (former dining room) that didn't have a closet. Not to mention an entire wall of basketball hoops. The bunk-beds were weirdly positioned so the younger boy with the smaller bed is definitely going to have a hard time getting in and out of that bed every day.

The Eastern side of the conference doesn't inspire confidence at all other than Boston, and of course don't count out Butler and Miami. Is Embiid back yet or coming back?

Unfortunately, New Orleans chose to punt their game today (a lot of teams punted and their respective scores were blowouts, so much for disincentivizing match-up manipulation by scheduling every Western Conference game at the same time) against the Lakers so the end results for the standings are as follows. Worst-case scenario is in play: both Lakers and GSW advancing out of the play-in ☹️ 1. OKC 2. Denver 3. Minnesota 4. Clippers 5. Dallas. 6. Phoenix 7. New Orleans 8. Lakers 9. Sacramento 10. GSW. The Eastern Conference is... 1. Boston 2. NYK 3. Milwaukee 4. Cleveland 5. Orlando 6. Indiana 7. Philly 8. Miami 9. Chicago 10. Atlanta

Has Grey's ever gone there with the attempted suicide of a doctor? That's where I thought they might be going after they got Eddie off the roof, when Ben and Bailey were having their talk at the coffee cart about the interns. (Not that I want this show to steal another storyline from ER and do it poorly. But ER did this storyline in the early years with an intern and to this day I remember the moment where they paged the intern to the case and realized the beeping from the pager was coming from their patient that had just stepped in front of a train...)

I don't know what in the America's Next Top Model / Big Brother happened to this show but as much as I love Allison and Comfort and Cat Deeley...this bears no resemblance to the SYTYCD I fell in love with 💔

Jo and Link's oops-maybe-she's-pregnant storyline only made me miss Jo/Alex and Link/Amelia, and did Luna magically improve her hearing loss? Neither of them mentioned that being a reason for not having another baby right now, only that Luna and Scout were still in diapers.

Half the time it seems like Meredith doesn't even like Nick. Simone and Kwan successfully persuaded the suicidal intern med student to come down from the roof, Lucas got the win with the surgery, Jules is fitting nicely into Winston's service, and Yasuda - ran the fasttrack pit and got puked on by drunk med students all night. What was the point of that?

Nashville to Paris was a weird episode, not only for the fact that they chose to move to an entirely different country when Wife is eight months pregnant with Baby #2. It was strange because the story the realtor gave was that the listing for the third house fell through so they ended up looking at a different house than the one they'd planned. The dorm-style kitchen had no oven or stove, it had a washer but no dryer and the bedroom in the attic had no closet yet the toddler was apparently supposed to sleep up there. Both the house hunters and the realtor hated on first look and no one even pretended like it was a viable option for the search. They ended up choosing the second choice they looked at, the apartment closest to the city center that had a metro-station nearby that would take Wife straight to work. There was a yard in the back for the two hundred-pound (each) Golden Retrievers, but it had no bathtub. The end scene had the Husband procuring a large bucket/shipping container (?) from somewhere, which, okay, that might work for the first couple of weeks or months with a newborn but not so much with a toddler. (Baby #1 was almost two, they said.) Husband was going to be a Stay-at-Home Dad and the house had only two bedrooms.

The bolded part is for emphasis. I wonder if it came up in the meeting with the hospital lawyers that the surgical resident and a department head failed to answer their pages after the attending that was in the OR at the time fainted and needed medical attention herself. (It's not like Simone and Lucas were doing the surgery because they thought they knew best and didn't need to wait for attendings, like Schmidt when he didn't wait for Webber and killed that patient he was operating on.) Jo and Link could easily lie and say they were with another patient instead of starring in their own Hallmark movie but I'm still shocked that aside from Yasuda calling her out Jo/Link aren't facing consequences for what they did. When Eliza Minnick was around and let Stephanie be lead on a surgery and the patient ended up dying, Arizona told Minnick that she had to take this one because otherwise Stephanie would internalize the guilt and possibly want to quit the program. And Minnick was in the OR for that surgery. Jo and Link both didn't answer their pages or worse, didn't notice them, because they had better things to do. And aside from Jo's sad face when Yasuda called her out and a line of dialogue to Link neither of them seem to feel all that responsible for what happened.

I had already come to terms with the fact that we weren't going to hear her talk about Alex but to not even have a line of dialogue about Callie or Sofia was lame. If Arizona isn't going to be back in other episodes, it was a strange narrative choice not to update the audience at all on her personal life. Why is Yasuda still getting screwed out of OR time when she did the least wrong of all the interns?

Antonia didn't get her start on FN? (Full disclosure, I'm not 100% sure what chefs would separate into what brackets.)

One side of the bracket is Chefs That Originated On Food Network and the other side is Chefs That Got Their Start on Other Networks/Shows (Top Chef, MasterChef, etc.). Would that work?

Same! No disrespect to Maneet or Britt, they both seem perfectly nice people and fantastic chefs, but I wish Antonia vs. Jet was able to be the grand finale.

I remember that Simone and Lucas were in the room operating on Sam without a resident/attending after Teddy collapsed, and I know that Blue went against Maxine's DNR because she was Jules' favorite person. I don't remember what Yasuda did to be in trouble. Is she guilty by association or what?

The more I think about it the more absolutely annoyed I am by the father/stepfather and don't see how this won't end with resentment from every side. Especially by the kids. It didn't seem like they got any say in the move in the first place, the house chosen or the school they went to (the boy had a line about "their parents saying this was the best school or whatever"). Editing plays a part, of course, but editing can't put words in your mouth that you didn't say, and when the wife/kids watch this episode back they'll get to hear their husband/father saying that him getting beach access was more important to him than whether or not the house was within walking distance of the school. The kids don't have their school, their friends or their support system (how many times in a year will Wife's family come to visit?) and the amount of times the father/stepfather worried out loud that the family wouldn't like this move in the end it probably wasn't a joke. I don't see this ending in the picture-perfect experience of everybody loving New Zealand as much as he does that the father wanted so badly. The episode came across as them moving because HE wanted to move, the rest of the family be damned, and I agree that the wife will be following the kids back to the U.S. as soon as possible.
