It's interesting with the shift of the conferences winning percentages. In the West, the 8th seed is under .500......but in the east, the top 11 teams are .500 or above.

Was it a CD? ESPN said it was a strained back...not sure what to believe out of Sac city tho.

Very good night for the bulls. Bucks lost, hawks lost, rockets lost, cavs lost, wizards lost, knicks lost, heat lost

But the Kings also lost...that pick keeps slipping farther away.

Kings won tonight...

I didn't like the rockets so this is perfectly what I wanted to happen. However, this was the year i selected harden for fantasy :banghead:

If the rox keep dropping I hope the bulls go after patrick beverly. I think he could be a kirk replacement

CD is coaches decision.

So it was a strained back...espn box score had him listed dnp-cd.

Irving hasn't played yet...I'd like to see how they perform fully healthy before I'm ready to say the East is winnable.

Watching the Clippers continuing to drop games is just glorious.

My reaction everytime I see that the Clips and Rockets lose a game.

How many teams can be as good as them while missing 4 rotation players (including 3 starters and their second best player). They do still have the 4th best SRS in the league. Id hold off on singing the chances of any Eastern conference team against them till we see what they do in January/February.

I wonder if CHA has a chance vs CLE...they're both on some nice streaks. Both 7-3 going in to their game.

I don't know why I have so much contempt for the Sixers. I think it's because of their FO's intense desire to lose and to **** over the fans. Plus that 2012 series still pisses me off.

Sorry, Okafor, but I am LOVING this. And that malignant-ass losing culture will ruin you if you let it. I hope they go 0-82 and just goes straight to the ****.

brb gonna watch that Bynum press con while lmaoing my ass off and stroking my fat bearded neck

Soooo.....Jahil Okafor got into a street fight.

0-16 on the court....1-0 off it.

Well looks like he'll soon have some of your money idiot.

Looks like PTSD (Present traumatic Sixers disorder) is really affecting Jahlil.

Honestly, my biggest hope is that one of their young players with potential like Noel or Okafor just goes all out :"this franchise is a shame, my coach and teammates, we do as much as we can with what we have, but this organisation is not putting us in a position to win, nor grow or learn. I'll be honest, I will not resign here and can't wait to go somewhere else".

Boom.

Hinkie out.

The way the Sixers are run is a shame for the NBA, i mean after a while egregious losing records should get penalised in the draft. Boston is showing what a team trying to grow can be, but the Sixers... yuk.

Agreed, some guys here don't realise how good that Cavs team can be : healthy and engaged Love, Lebron being Lebron, all the different pieces once they are all back (Smith, Shumpert, Mozgov, Delladova, Freaking Mo Williams as a great sparkplug, TT as a boardcrashing madman) and Irving.. This team will have so many looks to throw at everybody.

tbh, I don't see any team in the east able to push them past 6 games, let alone beat them.

This is all happening cause of Warriors and Curry. I dont like Warriors much but this makes me happy. But I will also say this exactly would happen from 2012 if Rose and Bulls were healthy. But better late than never, even if it's Warriors.

Now Lebron knows what it feels like when other people just want to play ball and he's out there dancing.
