He’s probably got at least two more seasons left in him. It would be pretty cool if they won the lottery before he retired.

Heat put up 40 in the 1st. Hawks return the favor by putting up 40 in the 2nd. Its a good game at the half.

Kuminga still makes mistakes, but looking like he belongs in the league already.

Bulls should be blowing this team out right now. Thats not even mentioning Klay. Curry has also been shooting worse then Westbrook in the month of January.


Based on the results of this game, what you're saying is clearly not true.

The Warriors wouldn't be winning by 30 if Draymond was so important.


Stop making excuses, Bulls effort was piss poor in this game and everyone knows it.

Kuminga's forehead was rim high on that dunk

Really love that they keep cutting to Lamelo highlights and referring to him as a super star even as they lose to the magic at home.

Classic ESPN.

To be fair, who wants to talk about the worst team in the league.
The Greatest of All Time debate in basketball is essentially who has the greatest basketball resume of the player who has the best highlights instead of who is the best player

man for how bad we got blown out last night, i would hope we would be a lot more humble when we catch another team on a bad night, especially missing key players too. Im glad we bounced back and looked good, but we still got a lot of work to do going forward to get to where we want to be. Hopefully Lavine is ok, i was looking forward to watching him play.

Top seed in the East lost by 40+ in 2 of the last 3 games. That has to be a record at this point in the season. The undermanned Warriors had no business winning that game on a road b2b, let alone demolishing them. That was a statement game.

The top 4 seeds in the West have as good or better records than the #1 seed in the East by the way (and the 4 seed has a +4 differential on the Bulls). The West is a gauntlet. The East is... well, they're the East.

The Hawks need to dump TLC in Miami so Nate isn’t tempted to play him.
