This month Wiggins is averaging 22/6 with 3 assists, with a TS of 60%.

the Cavs finally get a draft pick right and they trade him for a guy who can leave in 1/2 years.

Cavs will be fine in the end. The Heat tinkered a ton the first year of their big 3......and didn't have James out with a sore back for 7-8 games.

I hate those guys but it's difficult to look at James/Love/Irving/Shumpert/Varejao and not see a championship after another offseason. I want no part of them in this year's playoffs either.

With James coming back, and having a chance to acquire Love it was the right move considering James is 30. They have a 5-6 year window. Of course it depends on Love resigning which he stated a few days ago he plans to.....

Varejao may be done as a productive NBA player. Achilles injuries are no joke. He will probably come back in the middle of next season.

Agreed Mozgov was a solid pickup for them. They fixed that issue pretty rapidly.

Major props to his agent.

His extension kicks in next year, $20 million for the next two season and a non-guaranteed option for $10 million in 2017/18.

I can't believe there are still people out there making the Miami Heat comparisons, at this point in Cleveland's season. Mind boggling to me.

Miami started off slow, but they were like 20 games above .500 through the halfway mark of that first season. And most importantly, they weren't a subpar defensive team with multiple players in their lineup who could be targeted by opponents (Love, Irving can be exploited every single time on the PnR)

The Hawks are about to be 27-2 in their last 29 games.

Think coaching doesn't matter in professional basketball? Think again.

Cleveland got a lot better with Mozgov, and once Shumpert is healthy, that's going to be a tough starting unit defensively.

this OKC-Heat game seems pretty taxing. Im hoping it takes something out of them for tomorrow night while we are pumped and motivated

the bad thing is that KD-Russ-Waiters shot like crap so they will probably shoot better tomorrow

The Warriors are the best team in the NBA.

Curry is just playing other worldly type ball right now. He has Wall ability to find teamates and Durants shooting ability. He is pretty much unstoppable.

I agree with Las Vegas odds making that has Cavs as favorites from the east.

Mozgov has saved Blatt's job.

Smith always has been good. He and Shumpert were part of 50-plus wins with Carmelo on the Knicks.

Phil Jackson probably gave away too much value. The Cavs are going to be rolling by playoffs.

Kobe just tore his rotator cuff on his right shoulder. He should just retire. Rotator cuffs are very stubborn injuries. Surgery is no sure fix.

Bud is great and looking like COY. But let's not act like he's working with chopped liver.

Atlanta has a very talented roster. Horford and Millsap are both All-Stars + best 3pt shooter in the game + efficient borderline All-Star PG + a bevy of stretch PFs/Cs that no one else in the league has

As much as I love to stir the raptor fans, Kyle Lowry has been so good this year. He is just a beast.
Lowry and Wall vs Curry and Harden
East mvp 1 & 2 vs West Mvp 1 & 2. Will be awesome.

Klay Thompson scored 37 (not a typo) of the Warriors 41 third quarter points tonight.

Here's a list of hundreds upon hundreds of NBA player seasons with fewer than 37 total points.
