Lakers have flipped the script in these third quarters. I’m not used to this.

Dillingham might be the worst defender in the league. No wonder he can’t get on the court.

When do the Pelicans pull the plug on the Zion experiment?

Reeves is going for a 20/20 game to add to his long list of accomplishments.

The Magic still need a PG.

I've been saying this for several years now, and it is really rearing its ugly head now. Bane has played with an actual PG, in Ja, and is used to getting the ball in great position, in order to score. In Orlando, he has been a trainwreck.

Orlando needs to nab an actual PG. That team will be stuck in neutral until they do.

If Trae is hurt bad (praying he isn't), Hawks season may implode as well. Which is interesting because although they have New Orleans' pick, San Antonio has the right to swap their pick. Man, if the lotto gives the Spurs another top 4 pick. Forget about it.

Pacers almost pulled it out. Open 3 with our best 3pt% shooter the last 2 seasons.

Hayes is the only guy who has legitimately been ass today. He’s still stuck in his playoff funk.

Jrue Holiday not looking so washed guys. He just played too many games (championship, Olympics, 60+ win season) in the last 2 years without rest. He got the summer off and looks totally rejuvenated. What a pro, that guy is.

I can't stand Hyland, the fact he burned his bridge with the Nuggets and Jokic of all people just makes me dislike him by default

I guess Chicago Bulls East > Chicago Bulls West
