[bisme37]

Hey good pals it's a 6 game Thursday with some nice matchups for to go in our eyeballs

- Finals rematch as new-look Mavs visit Celtics on TNT - BOS going for 5th straight win - AD questionable out
- #5 in West Lakers host Warriors on TNT after both teams made big trade deadline moves - I don't think Luka or Jimmy are playing
- #3 vs #7 in West as Rockets visit Wolves - HOU trying to avoid 5th loss in a row
- Blazers go for 6 in a row (!), host Lavine and the Kings
- #4 in West Nuggets go for 5 in a row, host Magic
- And surging Pacers visit Clips in the nightcap - sorry it's not in the poll, had to leave one out and it was last on the list
- Yep that's all of them please enjoy

NBA didn't tweet the usual schedule image which is why it's a bit different today.
Trade deadline is today at 3pm ET.

Allstar teams will be drafted on the TNT pregame show this evening.

Celts quickly went from losing every other game to having the 2nd longest win streak in the league behind... Portland.

I just ordered new glasses. Almost 370 Euros, holly crap, is that crazy or what? Geezuz that is a lot of money to me in Lithuanian economy.

I almost gave up on my Lakers under bet, ain't gonna happen, I felt so smart betting against LeBron and AD, I thought casuals were betting overs, I thought that team sucked, well, I am an idiot.

Oh give it a minute. This could all implode spectacularly

Yes, when I was doing my streak watch, this would happen, I would write down team with huge winning streak thinking, damn, last week was on opposite graph.

Things change on a daily in the NBA, thats why I always thought gold fish RealGM was stupid, because it would legit happen to me, I would have like shift at work or just log off for two days, and before, one guy would be NBA darling, and when i would get back, RealGM would already claim that guy is terrible. I swear it happened so many times, best example I now remember was Grant Williams when he signed with Dallas. I remember he couldn't miss for first 5 games, and all Dallas fans laughed at the world for what a steal they jsut got, and I swear like 5 days later, Grant Williams was one of the worst players in the league according to everyone

Lakers should win comfortably today, which means they'll probably play down to their competition. Will be interesting to see what kind of goofy lineup the Warriors trot out there tonight.

Maybe but when you have Curry, you never know how hot he can get on any given night.

Meh, Curry doesn't strike fear like he once did. He was scoreless the entire second half the last time we played.

Let's Go; Mavs, Magic, Kings, Always Lakers, Pacers

Watching my Euroleague team right now, 10 down, third quarter, maybe coincidence, but we are like .150 team since signing Lonnie Walker. At first he looked great, but he turned into complete pumpkin after these first few performances, I don't think he is coming back to the NBA no more.

My work Is bad, but I think they do It on purpose some how, I'm home now and net Is always fine. A lot of the trades seemed to be going on while I'm stuck at work and I'm like FFS. I was lucky to catch the Luka trade Live, after the Knicks/Lakers game I was still on the net for hour after the trade, then got msgs and I was like WTF, stayed awake all night In shock n aww
