Gonna have to tune into the Grizzlies tonight to see if Ja gets away with his typical Rugby move carries.

Nice to have some early basketball. Too bad we dont have a 7pm game today. It would be nice to have a 6:30 game every day we have a lot of games.

Holiday may be out for the Bucks. Giannis going to not have a lot of help or spacing.

The Celtics v Cavs could be a playoffs preview matchup

How many in a row will the bucks have to win to replace (insert nets, Lakers, warriors) drama as the top NBA story for one night?

I know it’s easy to focus on Garland / Mitchell vs Brown / Tatum.

However, both these teams defend well.

What happened to Beals 3 point shot?

First 6 seasons: 39%
next 3 seasons: 35%
Last season: 30%
This season so far: 31%

Is it me or does it feel odd seeing Black and Gold as the Cleveland colors on the scoreboard?

We missed Garlands 3 point shooting. I’m not suggesting he’s better than Mitchell, but he’s a blur in the paint with a fantastic 3 ball.

Garland has always been an underrated defender.

I think Cavs are a genuine contender this year. They just need to do something about the starting SF spot (Crowder?) and let LeVert & Love lead the bench.

Man the Cavs look really friggin scary. They have the best young core in the NBA that can already contend for a championship.

Yup... SF is their only realy weakness. Just need a 3 and D guy at that spot to guard the other teams best wing.
