This team just gets wins.

I’d like Stewart back tomorrow, please.

This Indiana GSW game is gonna have a 1990's score.

Pacers/Warriors game is more like G league quality.

Even with all their injuries, because of Kerr's obsession with small ball, the Pacers can hang with the Warriors. Their only previous win of the season, although they've been close in a couple of others.

Detroit played really nice basketball in the 4Q today. Tough win without some 6ers players but Cade/Duren combo is pretty effective. Fun one!

Sacramento meanwhile is struggling to find agency against the length of Wolves to get ez shots

Nesmith and Siakam out. Becoming a regular pattern for teams to rest "injured" players that aren't really injured periodically.

How long does Mosley have left as the coach of the magic? He's starting to get agitated by the soft Orlando press:

No Steph tonight so this Warriors Pacers game became a real offensive slog

Jalen Duren becoming the clear cut #2 behind Cade seems like a turning point and an important question that’s been answered for this Pistons team.

If they can get Tobias & Stew back healthy, even without a team loaded with shooters, their roster cohesion, defensive efficiency and effort consistency sets them apart in the East. What Trajan & JB are doing with this roster rn is going to be an interesting case study.

Only time will tell if it proves effective enough over the long haul of the season but as of now…Cleveland, Detroit & New York are the tier 1 teams in the conference.

Here's hoping Curry's illness ends soon. Every missed game is one closer to us never seeing him hoop again.

They should beat Portland, but that looks like a man who is beginning to feel the pressure. Not good.

How does Zach LaVine continue to put up such amazing shooting numbers while having such a negative effect on his team's ability to win? He is such a terrible basketball player.

How does Vivek look in the mirror everyday? This roster is atrocious.

I have no faith that the magic 'should' beat any team outside of the teams that are clearly tanking unfortunately. And with Suggs' being held out of the second half of b2b games, I'd like our chance even less against Portland.

Suggs was a +21 in his minutes tonight and they still lost. I expect to be clobbered by Portland and New York.

Pacers really sold the farm in that 4th quarter. 37 to 11 free throw differential too, I would be annoyed by that if it wasn't beneficial for the Pacers to lose. Going to be in the running for a strong pick at this rate

It was really impressive how the refs held the Grizz to 38 pts in the second half.



Grizz played terrible but the free throw discrepancy in third tells a story.

The Warriors and Pacers were tied @ 65 in the third, then the Dubs went on a 49-18 run to end the game.
