Looking at the scoreboard across all games...

If there's one thing that should probably be clear by now is that in every game there's no clear favorites unless you're Celtics.

I wonder how long Lue will ride this bench unit in the 4th. Clearly has been playing much better than the starters for the most part.

It's good when he's making those js. But when he starts missing and keeps doing it, just sucks the life out of the entire OKC game.

Considering their upcoming schedule and the fact that they were up 22 points in the 3rd quarter, that is a bad bad loss for the Pistons.

Beal had such a great look to force overtime... shame he missed it after such a great 2nd half performance, but it seems last second shots just aren't his thing (see Celtics game 2 last year, Lakers earlier this year). Wizards just dug themselves too big a hole with that awful 1st half, deserved to lose this.

He's going to start before this season ends.

Horrible, they played poorly to give up the lead, but the Pacers were making some insane shots. 10 3's and a bunch of contested shots in the last 1.5 quarters

The officiating hate for Frye is unreal. Dude is just standing out there and gets called for everything.

So, the Cavs only decided to play well against the Rockets, I guess. Where's JR? Where's Jeff Green?
