Wiggins with s hot start. Love wolves' lineup : Rubio, Lavine, Wiggins, Bjelica, Towns. Talk about international lineup, so much bettet than Prince, Garnett starting 5.

Happy for Smitch! Wolves were 9 point under dogs and I had the MoneLine on them

.

Bulls will be shown for the frauds they are. No D. They are closer to 8th seed than 3rd in the east.

Would love to see Chicago lose. Year after year they are overrated.

Rubio, Wiggins, Town and Bjelica all complement each other in a way. This is the year where their fans can see the rewards from all the drafts.

true!

I'm excited for their future. Young team with bright potential and a few good veterans. Not sure why they don't play Andre Miller though. The Lavine at PG experiment needs to stop.

I really wish Smitch would stop being so stubborn and bench the corpses of Prince and Garnett. He thinks he's taking pressure off their two young superstars by playing an experienced veteran next to them, as if that'll ease Towns and Wiggins mentally, but because Prince and Garnett are so washed up that also increases the pressure for Towns and Wiggins because they have so much to compensate for. Towns has handled it well, but not Wiggins.

Just start Shabazz and Bjelica ffs.

Dwight Powell is an interesting player to follow on Dallas. Leading scorer going into the half for them.

bazemore is killing it this year

I just remembered that Nash, one of the smartest players of all time, is a consultant to the Warriors. I have no doubt that Curry's further ascension is with Nash helping out Curry. Nash is the best player since Larry Bird and Magic Johnson at reading and reacting to shifting defenses. Curry last year was "good" at reading and reacting to defenses, but this year he's hit another gear in that department.

Nash has absolutely no ties to the Raptors organization, but man, I wish he did this for Lowry and Joseph. If Nash could pass off some of his knowledge to Lowry, he'd probably be going back to that dominant MVP Lowry we saw for that long stretch before the Portland game, except he'd rely more on his smarts and not his physical abilities.

Solid night for Canadians; Wiggins with 31 and great defense, Powell had a great game showing a lot of promise and Ennis doing well himself.

Trey Burke just had a classic sophomore slump season, looks like he's on track again to being the player he should be

James Harden. The only other play aside from Steph Curry who I watch and just shake my head how good they are.

Really? I'm watching the game as well and I think he's been kind of underwhelming with his stare down over dribbling without shifting the defender before jacking up a shot with a hand in his face. I mean, he made a nice jumper over DJ but hasn't been that impressive aside from drawing fouls against a pylon like Austin.

Yeah. Maybe its just this game, but his shot making ability (despite it coming from terrible shot creation) is kinda insane. Shots that are terrible, shouldn't go in, but somehow do.

His arm hooks though. Can't stand those. What a farce that the refs fall for it so consistently.
