Derrick Rose is so bad now. Sad, he used to be one of my favorite players. He completely freezes out Porzingis, who is the best player on the Knicks, while he chucks up 27 inefficient shots a game.

Glad that the Hawks beat the Knicks. Can't believe the Nets choked against the Bulls. Would have buried Chicago in the playoff seeding.

Rockets having a hard time with Knicks third stringers. We can beat them. We need to stay disciplined and not get rattled by their offensive explosions.

AD putting a beatdown on the Knicks 40/18 shooting with a TS of 73%.

Rose MIA for reasons unknown.

Kids naturally like to emulate the best players. In Lebron's case that is causing a problem.....

76ers won 5 of their last 6 games. The Hornets have fallen off a cliff. I never thought they would be as good as last year with all their off-season losses. Sessions belongs with us.

The Kings lose again. Russy and Kanter DESTROYED them in the paint.

This is the first time I'm watching Embid play. Holy f*ck, that is one mobile C. He is legit. Doesn't Philly have the Lakers pick? Man add that to Simmons, Embid. Plus whatever assets they can get for Noel/Okafor. Philly can be scary good. Hinkie will go down as the genius we only recognize decades later.

Philly just beat the Raps with Embid playing. Okafor got a dnp. I noticed the other day that Okafor has the worst RPM in the league among centers.

Embid's size and scoring ability might hide Noel's deficiencies. An Embid/Noel pairing might actually work.

I have no interest in bring Noel here.

Once Philly gets Simmons back...holy...shiet. That team is going to be stacked.

Now if they get that kid out of Washington in the draft, and move Noel/Okafor and the rest of their assets for some wings, they could zoom past many teams in the East.

Oh and the Kings lose again. That team is going downhill fast.

Toronto have difficulty getting wins. They really miss Patrick Patterson.

An NBA team with Nick Young in the starting lineup loses to another NBA team by 50 points. Go figure!

Chicago is a garbage team. Up 12 on Atlanta with 2 minutes left and they lose the game. 19-2 run to finish the game. Thanks a lot Chicago! :-?

Cavs shoot 50% from the foul line and lose to Kings. :lol:

Philly on a roll. They have won 8 of their last 10. Just beat the Bucks without Embid.

The Bucks are in free fall. They've lost 6 of their last 7 and they play Toronto tomorrow.

If they tank and get a lotto pick, they could be scary next year. It's a great PG draft, plus they'll be getting back Middleton.

Chicago is imploding. They gonna have to move Rondo.

They have another dilemma caused by the multiple large multi-year contracts they gave to ordinary backups last offseason. With Parker looking like he'll have to get paid max when his rookie deal is up, they'll have lux tax problems somewhat similar to Washington's. It's a bizarre front office. They do some real good things, but then they do some really bad things that say - we have no coherent plan. If they just didn't do the mind-numbingly stupid things, they'd be in great shape.
