Jimmy Butler and the Bulls lit up the Cavs in Cleveland.

Looks like the Bulls got the Cavs' numbers.

Lebron didn't play.

Denver plays with a high motor against Memphis.

IMO they deserve a playoff spot based on how they have played so far this season.

Cousins with a technical foul and two personal fouls in the first 2 minutes against OKC. AD tried to talk to him before he picked up the 2nd foul and it still didn't work.

NO is going to really have to think long and hard about signing him to a long term max deal.

His talent is undeniable but it's moments like that where you can see what made Danny & Co. pass on him.

Personally, I think he was more than worth the risk for NOP. I know I am going against the consensus by saying this, but my gut feeling is that now that he has a motivation and a better environment, his attitude will improve.

AD trying to have a positive influence on him could be huge. He has that kind of quiet power that can inspire.

@Moranis GSW impressive once again.

IIRC, the 8th seed in the West wasn't as putrid as it is this year. Huge drop off after OKC at 7 in the West.

I love watching Noel play. He is so much fun to watch on defense. Gets his hands on so many balls. Strips players. Gets deflections. Makes his opponent rush and move in uncomfortable ways. Blocks shots from the weakside. Meets guys at the rim. And he is so insanely quick on help & recover situations on team defense.

Fun game between Dallas (Noel, Dirk) and New Orleans (Cousins, A.Davis). Big man matchups.

Edit: Noel's energy and effort on defense is infectious. He is like Smart or a young Tyson Chandler. He raises the level of teammates intensity and effort on defense. Makes them (Dallas, previously Philly) a much more active team.

The character (on the court). The competitiveness. The leadership. The guy is a born winner.

Yep, would've really loved to have him in green.

Would love to see him on the Sixers... Oh wait.

The Rockets were the 8th seed last year at 41-41 (and 29-30 when GSW clinched at 53-5).  The current 8th seed is 26-32, which would work out to 37-45 over the full season
I'm bitter.

Interesting to see the Cavs again opted not to rest Lebron despite the earlier proclamations of his strep throat. You wonder if never giving him time off will come back to bite them. He is 32 now.

Well, I'm glad he's back, I want him to play wednesday when we face them. I want to gauge how well we match up at this point in the season.

It's going to be interesting to see how much they rest him down the stretch. They have a really tough schedule the rest of the way, and they probably can't afford to rest him too terribly much, especially with Love out, too.
