I read something about parity in the East and West this season. Yeah, definitely don’t see that. Utah could make the playoffs in the East.

Actually, only OKC and Denver are better than us really. I’m not even so sure with Denver (or what do we make of their losses against against Chicago, Portland and the Warriors - double standard, some?). Y’all need to chill.

RJ lifting the Raptors to #2 in the east.

Magic and Hawks are trending in the right direction after slow starts.

Sixers, Bulls, and Bucks falling back down to Earth.

We need to get our sht together. Its too wide open.

Also with the bucks hovering around .500 it might be time to send that "how you doing, I heard things arent going so well" late night text.

Kerr on the rash of soft tissue injuries across the league


you can really see it. it's a track meet now. you have teams that don't even have much talent but they can be somewhat competitive by just playing fast. if you play a lot of minutes or you're a big guy, it's gonna be increasingly difficult to stay healthy.

Kerr is right, none of the parties will want less revenue in exchange for a shorter season. Silver floated the idea of 10 minute quarters/40 minute games a year or so ago. Like FIBA, NCAA, WNBA play, every high level except the NBA. Not sure if that would help with injuries, and there'd be other arguments against it.

Think how if every player in the league was healthy today how different things would be
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

So, Warriors and Kerr won by implementing this style and now that the Warriors are aging out of the ability to play it he wants to pull the ladder up after him/them?

Your lies and tricks wont work Greenie, we see that the Pacers are 2-13 without Haliburton, he's a winner. The Hornets are 4-11, because their highest paid player is a loser.
