I don't understand these rumours in the press over recent months stating they (or more specifically Ime Udoka) want to trade up for an established big name All Star type like Jimmy Butler.

Celtics tried to short cut our championship contending roster by trading for Kyrie Irving (which ended badly for us)

Butler is washed and likely a toxic locker room/chemistry presence at this point.

Ugh. That might be an LCL injury for Markannen.

Wemby and Lauri bang knees. Lauri goes down awkwardly. Hopefully nothing serious.

I know the schedule has been easy for the Spurs, but if you've told me they would be 10-8, i would've bitten your hand off

The Lauri injury taking the joy out of a nice Jazz loss.

How the hell was that foul on AD when Booker grabbed his shoulder to boost himself?

Spurs record is a little deceptive considering they played Utah four times (3-1). However, they also haven't played a lot of the bottom of the East, so there is a lot to look forward to (especially as Vassell and Sochan get back into the lineup). Also, more Charles Bassey and less Zach Collins please.

LAL is hovering around that LOLakers zone, circa 2013-18. They're now the perennial play-in team.

Why always have to be 3 point shot? Reaves don't have to take step back for the 3, just go straight up for long 2 SMH
