Might make me a pretty person, but i take way more pleasure in seeing RJ crap the bed than I probably should.

Tennessee coach butch jones was asked about John Wall playing tonight and said, "He may not ever win an NBA championship but he's already won the championship of life."

Anyone else get the feeling that the Cavs are going to do or at least try some seismic move soon ? Lebron has been doing his usual passive aggressive comments about the team construction among other things. He probably means more talent by "playmaker". Doubt he just wants just some bench player. I don't envy the position the Cavs are in. I don't care about what the Warriors are doing because Thunder aren't on that level anyway. However, Lebron is under the gun to try to compete against them and it doesn't sound like he thinks they can at the moment. Carmelo trade perhaps ? If they bring Melo in though, Kevin Love is gone. Things might get pretty interesting in the coming weeks.

I think Love needs to go. I thought Cousins would have been a great fit. Cousins alongside Lebron might work like Rodman did with Jordan. It looks like Sacramento probably wont trade him but that's the one move that would make Cleveland equal to Golden State.

rockets 5-5 over last 10. Clippers w/o CP3 for awhile, I'm still hoping for a possible 3 seed. Maybe, just maybe...

I wish we had the assets. He and Russ would have teammates literally running through walls to get better.

Do yourself a favor and read this Kevin Arnovitz piece on the Kings.

One note: Vivek apparently wants to assemble a Cousins/Gay/Westbrook core. Good luck.
