Grizzlies almost choked that one away with that horrible turnover near the end.

Has Jalen Green finally figured it out or is he just on a hot streak against bad teams? Dude is putting up 40-point games in his sleep these days.

He might not have figured it out, wary of buying in totally too soon, but none of his hot streaks before were alongside plus defence and rebounding/playmaking. Watching him play now is nothing like watching him heating up past years, he’s stronger physically but especially mentally, just busting his ass out there and looking to attack on offence.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Growth is an amazing thing. It doesn't always happen the way you expect, and sometimes doesn't happen at all, but it's nice when you see guys, especially talented ones like Green and Kuminga, start to figure it out.

A lot of people wrote off Jalen Green and said they wouldn’t trade for him :lol:

funny how people write off young talents on other teams and don’t believe they can develop

Haliburton has fallen off a cliff. 12 pts last night when his team had 145.

I believe he truly is injured and not playing anywhere near 100%

With that said, if you're going to play hurt and you can't do what you can do healthy, you have to adapt and he hasn't. Is he stubborn? pride? feels he has to play a certain way to get All-NBA? Whatever it is, he's hurting himself all around because he isn't healthy and he isn't all-NBA now.

Flynn on the Pistons is the most fitting outcome for his career thus far.

Deuce didn't get both feet inbounds before touching the ball. Not sure that's the NBA rule as it would be in highschool.

McBride has been balling out recently. Knicks gave up a lot in IQ but they had another backup guard ready in the wings. Really good defender too.

Dame has not been clutch in the closing minutes vs LAL. Bucks have blown a lead here. 26-7 close for Lakers, now overtime

Gotta love Lebron. Absolutely nothing left to prove. Still grinding it out on a mid-week b2b in Memphis like it's Game 7 of the Finals
