I wonder who has him in our league?

That's pretty easy to check. I think you know the answer.

Pistons lose again. If I am not mistaken that makes 27 which is sole possession of the all time losing streak in the NBA. Sad thing is they were in it till the end. They just couldn’t get it done.

Vuc being out might be the nail In Chicago’s coffin. They have been winning without Lavine or Ball, but now to be missing Vuc as well is tough.

Cavaliers missing Mitchell, Mobley and Garland about to complete a comeback from 15 down at halftime to beat the Mavericks. LeVert went nuts in the 4th quarter and Allen had a 20-20 game. Then Doncic makes a three and the Cavs miss 2 FTs. Mavs can tie with a 3 with 8 seconds to go. Strus blocks a shot as time expires. Cavs win!

Guess the Mavs need Kyrie back sooner than later. I wonder if Luka will be questionable for our game tomorrow?

If Mitchell Robinson wasn’t out for the season, the Knicks would be scary, defensively.

On other hand OG is one of the worst decision makers in NBA. NYK must resign him now to new contract, I think it will be something similar to McDaniels, Jeremi Grant contract

Hard to get to scary with Brunson and Randall, but somewhere between good and very good.

Detroit beat the Raptors 129-127. The streak is OVER!!!!!!!

Interesting Raptors/Knicks trade.

Anunoby wants to be a max player, and might get it as an unrestricted free agent next summer with a bunch of teams projected to have cap space. So Raps were facing either overpaying him or losing him for nothing.
Trade was the best route.

Quickley/Barrett, definitely a downgrade on OG, but Raps had a hole in backcourt, and Quickley will have a chance to see if he can translate his bench efficiency to a larger sample size, if he can do that, it's a huge win for the Raptors.

Not a fan of Barrett, he's from Toronto so it's a great PR move, but he's a pretty mediocre player statisically.

Knicks taking a big gamble he'll re-sign, losing a couple of rotation players with a lot of team control for nothing if he doesn't.

That 2nd the Raptors got from the Knicks, owned by Detroit, should be pick 31 next year. So that's almost a 1st round pick.

I'm honestly pretty relieved we don't have to face them with the streak at 37 on Jan 17th!

I didn't know that Alvarado is so effective. Too bad we have no chance to get him

OKC vs Boston should be great these are probably the two best teams right now. Our play has dropped and we are probably like 4-7 range but these two might be 1 and 2 for the last 10 days or so and I'm excited to see who will win.

OKC is crushing the Celtics, damn!

Scary team for the foreseeable future. They have legit NBA players buried on their bench and something like 9-14 first round picks in the next seven drafts. And they’re young.
