Cue the overreactions. They're playing the god dang Blazers for crying out loud

The #7 seeded Blazers, who are 19-18, playing in Cleveland, on the second night of a back to back coming off of an OVERTIME game last night, and having Lillard just coming back from a four game absence.

FTFY.  ;)

I can't stand how Houston plays. Virtually all they do is jack up threes. The Warriors at least regularly get to the basket.

I think they're essentially a good regular season team that won't cut it in the playoffs. I think I'd put GS, SAS, and even OKC above them in a seven game series.

Unless they stay incredibly hot from behind the arc they are second round playoff fodder at best. Shooting over 45 threes a game is not conducive to the playoffs.

Why wouldn't he be?  Best young player in the league with an exciting playing style and having an MVP caliber season.  If you're tired of the old guard, he's a breath of fresh air.  I think in the travesty of an allstar game last year he at least attempted to play some defense. 

Hopefully Giannis will maintain a top 2 spot so he'll be one of the captains who gets to pick the sides.  I'd like to see him and Embiid on the same team.

I haven't watched an AllStar game since Dee Brown pumped them up. For whatever reason All Star games do nothing for me. We see these players nonstop on ESPN (2000s I'm aware they just show reality TV these days) Youtube clips and all over the internet.

Maybe all star games had a purpose when you only got 4 channels and you only got to see star players a few times a year if they played your team.

I guess I've reached the point in my life where everything is "Get off my lawn" & "back in my day"  :-X
ok fine

The Rockets terminated Demetrius Jackson's two-way contract. He will sign a 10-day contract, but does not appear in team's plans. Will be assigned to RGV, source said, and play in G League Showcase during his 10-day.

Kind of watching the Pelicans-Timberwolves game now. That is a crazy color for a jersey.
I moved the cheese.
