Woj has since reported the MRI shows no extra damage, and his return will be weeks not months.

I'm upset neither Sportsnet nor TSN has the Knicks game tonight, but OG isn't playing anyway. He's got elbow soreness, and he's been wearing black tape on the elbow since he came to NY. I don't recall any elbow issues in Toronto before the trade

The Rozier trade has been a flop for Miami so far but now he comes out on fire vs Suns just now

Me too. Great for Kawhi and his legacy, after people slander him for legit injuries. I don't hold the petty bitterness to the Clippers that some here do.

Of course I'd love to see Canadians SGA or Murray get there too.

Rockets up 16 on Lakers. Whitmore 16 off the bench mid 2nd quarter. Some bigtim dunks. FVV with 1 point but 4 dimes

LBJ drives into Sengun not even trying to shoot just draw foul. Sengun did nothing but back up with his arms straight up. Lebron falls and of course gets the call.

More fodder for that awesome YouTube channel that shows all LeBron's travels and flops and such.

I enjoyed the Lakers GSW 2OT game the other night. Didn't realize till later the fta disparity was something like 46-13 as Steve Kerr pointed out several times postgame.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him miss the 5 games, so he could blame not getting the award on the new rule, rather than him not being voted for the award. I don't see him getting it 2 years in a row.

He would be favorite if he played more games but its getting silly. Last year he won and played 66 games which was the lowest out of any winner in an 82 game season since 1977.

They might be ready to move off FVV or Brooks by next year lol.

Whitmore and Amen are ready for more minutes.

"The Lakers have shot 233 more free throws coming into this game than their opponents this year. Far and away ahead of the 2nd place team, the New York Knicks... Oddly, the Lakers are dead last in drives to the basket."

Via HoopsHype. I'm going to assume the stats are correct, I didn't check.

The Cavs are sneaky good. They look like a dark horse in the East.

If the NBA season was 18 games long, every 2 years, he'd be awesome.

There's a lot of overlap with Mitchell/Garland in the backcourt so with Garland out, Mitchell can just cook without having to share. And Allen is the real difference maker in that frontcourt.

mitchell-allen with shooters is basically the 50 win mitchell-gobert teams from utah.
