All five Clippers starters were at least at least +32 while on court and at least +1.14 pts/minute against the Knicks tonight.

that roster shouldn't even be allowed to call themselves the "Knicks", it's amazing to me there's not more constant public outrage of how Dolan has destroyed that franchise.

The Spurs just dropped 71 in the first half on the Westbrooks.

I'm not sure what upsets me more: the possibility of Randy Wittman remaining as Wiz coach, or the possibility of swapping him out for Calipari. Maybe neither will happen but this team needs a serious kickstart.

I think the former though I'd be upset at both if I were a Wizards fan.

“Boris was very aggressive,” said (Tony) Parker. “Boris can play whenever he wants to,” laughed Parker after the game.

Durant with another surgery, out 4-6 months from now. what a brutally wasted season for him coming off his breakthrough MVP year last year...

Let's hope he stays off it and heals.

Griz lose at home by 23 to GSW after losing at home by 23 to Cleveland. Splash brothers were great tonight and the Warriors are a completely different team, i.e. better when Draymond Green is on the floor than David Lee. Green got two quick fouls and then a third soon after he re-entered the game in the second quarter but when he played it was lights out for Memphis (+24 in 20 minutes). There was one funny play when Conley was chasing around Curry who cut towards the basket with Conley in pursuit but then reversed back out to the three point line while Conley kept going in the same direction. Of course, the ball got to Curry who sank the uncontested three.

Bogut and Green are the best defensive C/PF combo in the league.

If one goes by the point spreads in the two Grizzlies games, GS would be a 3.5 point favorite against Cleveland on a neutral court.

In other news, the hot Spurs beat Dallas by 18.

CLE and the Spurs are now essentially tied, worth keeping an eye on for potential home court advantage in the Finals.

Neither the Cavs nor Sixers scored in the last 3:56.

Kawhi Leonard scored the Spurs first 15 points of the fourth quarter.

great comeback by OKC to essentially eliminate the Suns, 4 games back now with 8 to play and OKC has the head-to-head tiebreaker. NO is still alive, though.

I don't feel like looking it up). the league moved decidedly towards small ball last year, and PHO is trying to go even further. they couldn't run as much against the disciplined Spurs team, but they should abuse most other teams who won't be able to hang with them for 48 minutes. also their best two players are their other two PGs, Dragic and Bledsoe, but Thomas has led them in scoring in both games so far and was killing SA to the point last night where Pop put Kawhi Leonard on him (!!). also, Alex Len had his best game to date, a one man inside force on the boards down the stretch.

so not only are they quicker than most teams, but they're the rare team that goes past 4 or 5 good players and is actually deep, which should help them a lot over the ridiculously long season.
You can quote me at the end of the season if I'm wrong, but I'm saying here that Phoenix is under .500 this year.
Too close to call.

it's kind of a void argument, though, because they had to/decided to revamp their core mid-season, moving Dragic and Thomas and bringing in Knight.

Dragic didn't like playing off the ball or he'd still be there.

I don't like their mid-season trades. Not sure what they are thinking.

Dragic told them he was leaving and Thomas didn't seem to mesh too well personally with the rest of the team.

Hornacek looked fucking miserable as his team was being routed by Portland.
