Chicago is playing Dallas now and they're leading by 2 heading into the 4th.

Big time comeback win on road for Pelicans. Zion is a beast when healthy. I really hope he is 100% all season.
"I think the criticism's stupid," Stevens said. "So I don't care. I'm with Jaylen (Brown) on that. Those two had achieved more than most 25 and 26 year olds ever had. I'd rather be in the mix and have my guts ripped out than suck."

But he has 16 points and no turnovers.

Grant is not really a big man.

He's a tweener who shoots 3s and can guard bigs.

Rebounding has never been Grant's strength.

Would people still trade Brown+ for Lillard today?

By the end of tonight, the Celtics and Grant Williams may be the only undefeated left.

I still think Bucks have to be better than they've shown so far this season.

Since his rookie season Grant's played 90% at the 4 and the rest at 5.

Yeah, he's playing the 4 or the 5, but that doesn't mean he's a real 4 or a real 5.

Reason why he's able to do that is because he can defend bigger players.

But he's really not a real 4 or 5.

He can't defend 2s or 3s, he can't dribble and he can't pass. I think he's a big.

This Lively guy is pretty lively, if I may say so. If he puts on some pounds he will be a force.

By default he's a big, but in reality, he's not a big.

Grant making an impact for the Mavs, keeping their undefeated streak alive. Made 6 threes like it's a game 7 vs. the Bucks. Hustling like crazy.

Luka getting defended like Tatum against the Heat in the playoffs. Cuban ruined Dirk's career and now about to do the same to Luka.

Mavs will win.

Bulls just didn't know what to do when it was crunch time.

Return to Boston Celtics
