I'm just not a big believer in KAT

Although I'm glad he didn't tear his ACL or achilles

Bucks neeeed to make the call on Luka in February, he might be done with the Mavericks soon

Cuban won't do it, but if Luka gets pissed enough, who knows

Watching KAT loaf around night after night would legit make Giannis cry. No thanks. Good player but lacks heart.

And that's why I still fear the 76'ers and am on the PJ bandwagon. On that team, with Harden, Embiid, Tobias and Maxey, last thing they need is another usage player.

But they do need tough. And PJ flat out roughs people up, and hits the occasional corner 3. He's valuable.

How long are you gonna be scared of PJ Tucker you reckon? Till he's 40?

Randle going off tonight. Against depleted Detroit though.

Kemba: "My knees feel good"

SVG: "of course his knees feel good, he hasn't been playing"

Even if we fail this year I think that's an awful move. The solution wouldn't be trading for KAT, it would likely be getting younger/more athletic on the wing and/or adding a really good ball screen guard.

Each replay of Dinwiddie's elbow to Poole made it look worse and worse. Can see why it was a flagrant two.

Mavs Warriors is pretty good

They officials are all over the pivot foot changing tonight.

Luka with a nice bounce back game after having to face Jrue Holiday.

I don't have a problem with it but the league has really gotten strict when it comes to calling travels this season.

Not surprising that fans don't actually know the traveling rules but it was still a travel even if he landed with both feet at the same time. If both feet land simultaneously for your 2nd step you don't get to pivot at all.

We just don't believe the NBA has rules. They say some stuff, they upload a video to demonstrate, and then they do something different from game to game and even from player to player. And when the playoffs start they do something different again. And if it's a tight game towards the end it's a new rulebook again.

Thats not rules, thats a circus.

Either way we definitely could have used him last season. If that wasn't the case we wouldn't have been canvassing the league looking to trade Grayson Allen (and more potentially) for Jae Crowder.

Based on how Tucker played in the playoffs last season, I feel comfortable saying we didn't miss him. If the Heat never signed Tucker, there's a good chance they make the Finals.

Thought the Curry call was harsh at first but when they showed the overhead shot he clearly established the left foot as his pivot then moved it.

Games of interest tonight:

Philly at Cleveland - Philly has won 3 straight, Cleveland is a fun team to watch.

Miami at Boston - Heat have won 3 straight, Celtics 4. Butler still out, Herro questionable. Brown also questionable.

Khris Middleton

Pretty big downgrade if your goal is to win championships.
