The NBA's 2nd half starts TONIGHT
▪️ BOS, PHX won 9 of 10 entering break
▪️ Top 5 scorers DeMar, Trae face off
▪️ Curry (16 threes in NBA AllStar game), GSW visit POR

If the Blazers beat the Dubs w/o Nurk, I'd have them tested for PEDs.

It's about time, I would've taken about 3 games last night.

Excited that SGA is back. Was lowkey worried that the Thunder were going to deactivate him for the rest of the year.

Yeah sorry about that. There's a limit of 10 poll options so if there's more than 5 games I have to leave some out. I try to include the most competitive games (on paper) , and pick a few others randomly.

Things I learned & makes sense

MIN, PHX, OKC all on first night of a B2B.

OKC goes to IND and PHX plays NOLA tomorrow night.

MIN with a big opening group of games - tonight vs MEM, tomorrow vs Philly, it visits Cleveland (MON) and back home for GSW (TUE) on another B2B to start the week.

Garland out tonight with back soreness. A bit concerning as he was dealing with the same issue prior to the All-Star break.

I don't think it's concerning. He is very young.

They are playing Pistons tonight so give him a night off and that's why they traded for Levert so less pressure for Garland.

last game and first game b4 the break always produce weird ones

hopefully the break slowed down the Celtics a bit. They were getting a little too good for my tastes.

No one is even playing for BK tonight so it would be a pretty bad loss if the C's can't take care of business.



Then we have a redemption game vs Detroit on Sat, and Indy on Sunday. So I'm hoping the Celtics keep chugging along

Yeah looking at this the Nets aren't winning this year. By the time Durant and Simmons hit the floor there may be only 20 games left and we're suppose to expect them to implement all the other pieces they have and take out teams like the Bulls, Heat, and Bucks? I would be absolutely stunned if they were able to just flip the switch and go come playoff time.

Yea Nets definitely aren't going to have enough time to get everyone integrated. Nets have already played 59 games so they already only have 23 games left including tonight's likely loss. They would have to go through the play in and then win 4 series on the road, i just don't see it.

Only issue is LeVert returned to the Cavs from All-Star break with an injured foot and is out 1 to 2 weeks.
