It's possible that next season the only eastern team that will suck, will be cleveland.
Orlando, Atlanta, Brooklyn made significant steps in the right direction. Washington can only get better after this too.
If only charlotte can do something better too.
Really excited for the East in the future.

Just a casual 10 assists in the first quarter for Westbrook ... lol
Has to be close to a record doesn’t it ?

Westbrook has an outside chance for a 20-20-20 game!

He did it.

That Westbrook trip dub was awkward but special.

Good luck with the three-peat.

Man, I’m so jealous of the motion and passing of the Warriors.

Just don't see enough in the Nuggets to make it far - keep getting smacked by the Warriors and just got smacked by Houson. If they are not careful they will lose the 2nd spot as they play Spurs, Portland twice, and Jazz. Still young and have a bright future ahead for them - and have Porter yet to play.

Also, Bob Cousy once posted 12 assists in one quarter and 19 assists in one half.

7 of their top 8 guys -- Curry, KD, Draymond, Klay, Iggy, Liv, Boogie -- are all capable and/or willing passers. If you insert Bogut for Looney, then all of them can pass and are above average BBIQ players*.

*Boogie's issue isn't basketball IQ.

Definitely. But, a lot of their passes are pretty easy ones. They get in trouble when they try to get too fancy and create turnovers. Some of it is just coaching & focus. We just don't have near the consistency of movement & backscreening they have. You keep moving, eventually those passes open up. We do it, just not as consistently. Heck, they don't either, but last night was a masterpiece.

Starts with Curry. He's an excellent off ball player not iso heavy like Kyrie. They turned their switch on last night no team can beat them when they play like that.

He is not being a racist or being stupid, . Yiannis father moved to greece from Nigeria. He is Greek but of nigerian descendance. He used simpler terms
