Let's see what a 37-year old Curry and a 36-year old KD will look like in April.

It's not about looking good in November.

Last season the Cs lost a few close regular season games because the Cs couldn't execute in the clutch.

But the Cs won all close games in the ECF and Finals.

Get well soon, Pop!

(I wonder if Brad Stevens would consider coaching in the NBA again.)

PG and Embiid OUT vs. the Cavs. Easy W for the greatest team ever assembled.

Terrible news. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Crazy finish to Bulls at Knicks

Josh Hart foolishly fouled Coby White behind the arc with 3 seconds left and Bulls down two.

Coby was clutch and sunk 3 free throws to give the Bulls the lead, and Brunson's last gasp shot rolled in and out of the basket..

Wemby up to 50 points against the Wizards. 20 made threes (and counting) over his last three games. Sheesh.

It might be time to have a tough conversation about Scoot Henderson. He just looks awful out there. If it's ever gonna happen for him, I don't think it's gonna be in Portland.
and that's "MR. Irrelevant" to you!!

Giannis has 48/13/6 and Bucks are about to lose to the Pistons.

Cavs may never lose ever.

That Rookie Donovan Clingan of Portland has Dave Cowens potential.

He plays with so much heart and grit. He is one to watch for the future.

Only one team has yet to win at home: UTA
Only one team has yet to win on the road: TOR
Only one team has yet to lose on the road: CLE
Only two teams have yet to lose at home: CLE, LAL

Cavs now have the 6th best start in NBA history. They got the Bulls, Hornets, and Celtics next to have the 2nd best start behind the 2016 Warriors.

Cavs may never lose ever.

Cavs have a way unsustainable three point percentage that is bound to come way down.

Reminds quite a bit of last year’s Okc team.

What's really impressive about this year's Cavs is their ball movement.

That's the reason why their shooting % is great.

Currently their strength is also their bench. Everyone Atkinson uses steps up (credit their system/coaching). Bench players matter less when rotations shorten in the postseason. And now they'd have to rely on their double big configuration (iffy on offense/spacing) and two small-ish guards (iffy on defense) more. Or their bench will go up against mostly starters if they wanna keep relying on their depth.

Why is there only one game scheduled today? A crappy one at that.
