And that is why I'm completely okay with Kyrie getting all of those All-Star votes.

Another delightful beatdown for the bulls today. :) 2nd seed is ours for the rest of the season if we keep up our stellar play. It's amazing that the bulls only played 15 road games this season, where they're a pitiful 6-9 while we've played 22 so far at 13-9. Not too shabby at all. Even with all our injuries, this is turning into a great season. The bulls should keep spiralling down the standings. We just need to take care of Atlanta and we're good.

What happened to the mighty Celtics coached by future GOAT coach Brad Stevens?

They have way too many players. Minute distribution is a problem for them. Their best scorer is a defensive liability. They need a trade bad. Only problem is , everyone wants their BKN picks and not the mediocre talent they currently employ.

What's with all the demar derozan articles lately. Don't get me wrong I love raptor news and demar is one of my favorite players / hard working player on the team. I just tend to get suspicious when you see a lot of good news. Is it his agent pushing all the news media or has he just finally getting recognized for his efforts.

All in all I think once this season is up, a new coach will take this team to new heights.

Defense helps you win games but you still have to score. Watching Mavs vs Cavs you can see how good their ball movement. The raps are good but predictable. Shut down Lowry or derozan and we are toast. I don't see how the raps make it to the second
round but if they do it ain't going to be pretty

B Diddy signing with the D League, wow. What a shame he was so injury plagued, was one of my favorite players in GS and Charlotte.

Hopefully Charlotte, Washington, Boston, LAC & Brooklyn win tonight separate us from others and every loss by NYKs a plus.

LOLcats up 34 on the Hawks in the 4th. A beatdown of epic proportion.

Amir about to set a career high in rebounds. Never knew his high was 15 set last year in March.

East teams are starting to lose. Raptors can create some separation if they focus and keep winning.

We got 4/5 so far and Clips have been on a tear lately, who would've thought haha.

PS: Batum really must be huge for Charlotte since the moment he comes back they snap a 7 game skid and blow out Atlanta jeeze.

Why are the Nuggets wearing pyjamas?
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Nets beat Knicks without Melo. I was interested to see how motivated Bargs would be against his old team. Of course, that would imply the guy had a pulse. 2-6, 1 rebound in 14 minutes. That's a seven-footer out there, folks.
