I don't see any way they can hold on to that Nets pick...Lebron's time and hairline are running out. He's gonna cry like a baby soon....not new!

Ps I think Lance Stephenson is one of my fav non Hawks (not his actual game, just the fact that he bugs Lebron).

The Warriors are favored by 4.5 in Toronto tonight?????? Are the oddsmakers crazy???? Warriors on back to back road games...no scurry...and the Raptors are hot.

I have a feeling the Raptors kick some scrub butt tonight!

It's all good Spud...you didn't know Scurry was in and Lowry out. Still doesn't make sense that they are down by 27 at home and gave up 81 1st half points. Yikes!

Heat are streaking, that's 7 in a row now and they're just 1 game back of the Cavs in the standings.

I've been accused of taking pleasure in the 6ers demise. No need to depart from that now ...

A while back we made mention that the Seeeees front-loaded their schedule ahead of the London trip. Well, in their infinite wisdom(sic), looks like PHI back-loaded theirs. Cause, ya know, their guys do well with back-2-backs and short-rest and all. Should do wonders for their playoff push, huh?

Speaking of playoff push ...

Heh. I was going to defend Embiid by saying as an African he doesn’t understand the nuances of American football but he made a better tackle attempt on that reception than the ‘Aints.

I kinda hope PHX does end up with Trae Young to see if they can recreate a poor man's version of the Splash Brothers.

Trae and Devin Booker would be incredibly fun to watch (plus Josh Jackson doing his best Harrison Barnes/Iguadala impression).

It's nice to be able to smile after such a horrible nba season. Imagine your two most hated teams of your life since you started watching basketball (Celtics since 1984...Warriors 1986)..and the Hawks being tied for 3rd worst...

A play like that just makes me feel warm inside. I thought a turn of that ankle might be happening too on that play...

Nah..Curry's ankle is fine....(jinx no jinx JINX)..

Oh man, CLE is a dumpster fire right now. It's a toxic, chemical burn folks.

Lebron was playing a dangerous game of self-tanking on defense to try to force them to trade the BKN pick but he was like a 10 year-old playing with matches around grandma's wicker furniture.

Once the blaze got started, all the knittin yarn went up faster than he thought it would. Then the curtains caught fire, now the shag carpet .... now it's "sumbody call 911!!" time. Somebody get grandmas cats out!

Oh no, I'm not getting fooled by that "Lebron finally looks mortal, this is gonna be the year where he gets knocked out before the final" talk. Happens every year and Lebron turns it on in the playoffs and blitzes the east.

People were out of their mind if they thought LeBron would waste a lick of energy on defense before April but then Cleveland's front office was like "That's fine, KLove, Korver, IT, Rose, and Calderon will pick up the slack". Tristan getting Kardashianed certainly left them without a defensive anchor and the fact he's now attached to that bad juju for the next 18 years means he'll never return to form. The only possible way to get his mojo back is a 7 game series against Al but even that may not be enough.
