Portland are the epitome of treadmill.

Recovery time for UCL surgery is 4-6 weeks. will be interesting to see how far the Heat fall in the standings during that time..

I think many consider J Butler the Heat's best player, but I think that Bam is their MIP.. (most important player)

Elite PG play was key to the Suns' win.

CP3 made others better.

I really want to catch Phoenix with their win streak alive next week. See what this Celtics team is made of. Hopefully both teams fully healthy too..

insert the saying "be careful what you wish for"

If we lose we lose. But a win there could be a turning point.

Cs don't utilize blitz/show vs PnR much (like BKN) but when we do, it's been highly effective for us so far.

We've all seen this clip of the Kawhi buzzer-beater many times before. But even so, I noticed something for the first time.

Simmons was chasing Kawhi around the arc, pretty effectively -- until he basically got screen by Embiid. That's what got Kawhi the space to get the shot off.

Ummm OKC are down 50 to Memphis. I have never seen a team down by that margin ever.

Currently down 70. That would be the biggest margin of loss in NBA history if it holds. This is the current record:

Bet Al is really missing OKC.

Yeah, I've always noticed that. If Simmons had stayed with Kawhi (and like you said, he was shadowing him effectively), Kawhi probably would've had a harder shot. I don't even know why Embiid was in that area, he was completely out of position; his huge ass disrupted Simmons' path, forcing him to pick up Kawhi. He should have hung back a bit and blitzed when Kawhi was already in the corner.

The team with the longest losing streak this season (15) now have the longest active win streak (5).

Just wanna give a shoutout to the Doncic fanboys in the GB who were saying Luka's a great shooter and his ridiculous shot against the C's was 100% pure skill and 0% luck.

Luka tonight: 7-20 FG, 0-6 3pt FG. That's the norm for the Luka that I know.

On a serious note, how long until sga gets sick of playing with 3.5 chumps on the court with him each game? What would sga cost us, outside of Brown and tatum to get him? Third team maybe required

Feels like this is a big deal.

If SA can go and win in GS, why can't we??

We missed the boat on Desmond Bane. Had him in our hands, and let him go.
