Celtics lost at Brooklyn.
Another good results for the Bucks.

18 games in and the standings are almost identical to last year. Heat a little higher, Pistons a little lower, the rest about the same.
Amazing.

And it feels like not much will change until May either.

Two poor possessions from Brogdon with the game on the line. Dribbled the ball off his foot/leg and then took a really tough runner at the end of regulation.

Kawhi hasn't been playing well, and it's kind of annoying that ever-increasing regular season nihilism has made it so you're not supposed to discuss that at all because "just wait until the playoffs." If it leads to the Clippers winning a ring this year then so be it but it'll still be irritating when the media hands him regular season awards anyway. I wonder if him not getting any more All-Star appearances or All-League awards would make him and his camp reconsider the whole "regular season = 82 games of practice" mentality.

I see the Bulls Tday practice may not have paid off. Please give Boylan an extension.

The Lakers are better than the Clippers.

The Lakers role players are really bad. They're very one dimensional and will be figured out later in the season or in the playoffs. They have at best 5 players that would make our roster.

Kawhi is hardly the first superstar player to do this though. At some point you earn the stripes to get away with it and Kawhi has his. He’s an easy walk up for the all star game but you couldn’t complain if he doesn’t make an all nba team.

Lakers are freakishly physical. Lebron, AD, McGee and Howard are all near Giannis level of freakishness

Not a chance. They are playing better right now, but the Clips' depth is so much stronger.

Their role players have not been bad at all lol.
Green, Bradley, Howard, Javale, Cook and Kuzma have been average to above average. Hell, KCP even turned his season around.

That Lakers team is much better than its getting credit for. Barring injury, I just don’t see them losing to the Clippers in the playoffs.

The Clippers already got them one time. I definitely think a full strength Clippers team handles them in a 7-game series.

The Lakers have a B2B coming up at Denver and Utah. That'll tell us more about them.

Speaking of Thon Maker, let's say everyone in the league would have known his real age on draft night and he goes undrafted. Do you think he would have made a roster as an undrafted free agent?
