Around the League - Curry Out "A few weeks"

Don't look now but Ben Simmons is actually playing some decent ball and Klay is back.

Yeah Simmons looked good today. He still has not interest in shooting outside of 3 feet but he was pushing hard in transition and not just looking to get the ball over halfway to hand-off to KD/Kyrie.

Klay did this like a month ago and then he sucked again until tonight, so I'm not exactly convinced.

He also has a hysterically fragile ego so I'm kind of pulling for it to go wrong again so that he can lash out at the media and Twitterings.

This is wrong, he played in the two wins against Denver and NO earlier in the season. Not sure I'd be hanging my hat on victories against Spurs, Pistons and Nets at home either.

The Spurs look like the team most of us thought they'd be. After their hot start, they've fallen to 6-12 after gettng slapped by the Lakers.

My guy, Yuta Watanabe, is now starting for the Nets and leading the NBA in 3 point% at 57%.

He's on a minimum contract.

Ballsack Sports is The Onion for sports. I’m not sure who needs to hear that but it looks like at least one of you were unaware

Stephen A Smith is also unaware. Had him quoting "sources" live on first take and those sources were ball sack sports LOL.

Cavs/Hawks is interesting tonight. So is Warriors/Pelicans

Cleveland should have zero issues with the Mitchell trade. Guy is averaging 30ppg and lighting it up.

That said, Lauri Markkenen has now entered the chat as a likely all-star player. Utah just got a haul of players in those two deals that continue to have a lot of value. (Plus the 87 draft picks).

Continue to be fascinated with what Ainge does here. That team is still short a superstar, but will be tough for him to tell the team and fanbase they're tanking, with a couple tank trades

Remember that report that Phil Jackson was considering coaching the Lakers again and wanted to trade Lebron and keep Westbrook?

Was very impressed with him last Nets game I watched, Nets gotta be telling him to shoot more

Didn't realize Miami's 7-10 and are already being forced to load manage Jimmy. Pretty brutal 4-of-6 on the road coming up as well (Minnesota on a back-to-back, Boston x2, Atlanta). Yeah, they're in trouble...

They're toast. Paid Herro and Duncan a TON and both are unplayable on the defensive end come playoffs. Jimmy getting older and Bam hasn't taken that superstar step you'd have liked. Lowry is chubby again. Spo will get it turned around and have them solidly in the playoffs but there isn't a bubble to help them anymore in the playoffs.

Cavs take care of the Hawks. Impressive

Twice now they've given up a game to New Orleans on the second night of a back to back. Get health is important but really odd to do given how they've been this year and potential playoff tiebreak implications.

Mildly interesting the Bulls are now 2-1 v the Celts this year (lost game was only by 4 points). There’s something about the Bulls the Cs seem to struggle with.
