Karl Anthony Towns has totally demolished Andrew Wiggins and The Heatles. Knicks are almost unbeatable when KAT is in Godzilla like rampage like he has been tonight.

Wish we could see this angry, feisty KAT more often (who doesn't get foul trouble get into his head)

When’s the last time a two-way guy just went wild like Daniss Jenkins has done for Detroit this week? I’m sure it has happened, but I obviously don’t have a strong grasp on other teams’ two-way guys.

Bench+Cruise+Stew gonna get another win. Sure hope we get some guys back for Monday.

Pretty sure I watched that guy in Summer League and was like, "Why isn't this guy a bigger deal? He's kind of awesome."

I have no idea the answer to your question, but I'm sure it's happened.

The Spurs definitely have the best NBA Cup floor in the league, helps having colours that doesn't make you go blind

I saw Houston's court in person last season, and it's not nearly as bad live. On TV it's low-level torture.

Pistons keep winning w/o Cade, JB Bickerstaff and Langdon really changed the culture of that team.

Fortune favours the bold, so it ducked Nico Harrison.

If the Rockets keep shooting like this, they are going to be scary. They are blasting the Blazers tonight.

Also, Reed Sheppard found his confidence and his shooting stroke.

And pretty much the rest of the starting 5 out too

They had no business winning that game.

Seen enough sample size to suggest they are legitimate ritle contenders.

Cracks are still to appear in Philly again (same issues that have dogged them for years)
