What happened to all those lackluster road records for many teams out there so far, especially the Western teams? Should I be surprised?

Looks like the Clips won't have the luxury of employing the Kawhi cruise control method this year without those extra 2 team play-in spots.

Bucks stinking up their own joint so far. Could they give up 60 points in the 1st quarter?

I will do myself a big favor if I never watch a raptors game the rest of the year. It is so obvious what they need to do. This freakin small ball line up are you kidding me. Please have Boucher or preferably Koloko on at all times. Get rid of Malachi Flynn. Quit stressing out like its the playoffs. Get some confidence, throw some lobs. Have some fun with your young guys Koloko and Barnes.

I don't think I've seen one of them smile all year. Way too serious. I get stressed just watchin them.

Can we have a shoutout to Nesmith for steamrolling Blazers in final four minutes and blowing a close game wide open?

bkcardcollector · 01-06-2023, 10:53 PM

He missed a 3. but nice drive.

Lillard is concerning. He had a Ben Simmons like pass from under the basket and couldn't make a 3. It's too bad now that he has some teammates, he has lost a step. Wonder if he is still injured or if this Blazers team will do anything.

Tough loss, good win for the Pacers, Haliburton in final 4 though I would say more... but aight go Nesmith.

daeve · 01-06-2023, 11:22 PM

Nuggs have put up 109 on the #1 defense with 6 minutes left to go

rustywest · 01-07-2023, 01:07 AM

Very nice balanced team win from the extremely short-handed Lakers tonight.

And... Kendrick Nunn showed up with his best game in a Laker Jersey - about time!

This Lakers/Kings game has been really good.

rhigh2390 · 01-08-2023, 12:44 AM

It's crazy that some people actually think the Lakers are a bottom feeder. Just like that, they're 2 games out of the 5 seed.

Blowout wrote off the Nets and the Lakers and now both are rolling. I give the Lakers a better shot to come out of the West than the Nets out of the East though. There are no scary teams at all in the West. Maybe a Lakers/Grizzlies West Finals? I'd still pick the Bucks and Celtics out of the East.

Absolutely nuts game

Almost expected that Fox heave to go down

What a great W for the Lakers. 0-7 vs Division rivals before tonight

Good lordy Fox is a mid-range monster, every time I watch him play he cuts up my team getting to his spot with that smooth jumper.

ninjacookies · 01-08-2023, 01:10 AM

Looks like Bronny's lit a fire under his compadres with his publicly stated desire not to waste his geriatric days playing alongside loser scrubs. Sometimes that's all the troops need to remember how to play the sport again.

You love to see it.

19-21 despite a 2-10 start and that’s with multiple injuries. Chemistry this year feels rock solid so far, Ham is getting the most out of everyone who gets minutes.

Yanks23 · 01-08-2023, 12:41 PM

Lakers are on a nice run but Lebron probably cant keep up this pace of minutes and games without another injury like the past few seasons. Their schedule is pretty tough rest of the month with a decent end of month road trip so that will be the test if they can hang around.

al3xmac10 · 01-08-2023, 09:45 PM

nice comeback win for Pacers!
now 23-18 at the halfway mark of the season!

They can't beat any quality teams. They'll probs make the play in though. It's really not hard to

indyguy · 01-09-2023, 08:57 AM

Hopefully nothing wrong, but this could really throw the East for a loop if KD is out extended time

tennelson55 · 01-09-2023, 10:13 AM

The Pacers have really built something. I wish they didn't trade Sabonis, but then there's no way they get Hali. Kings/Pacers trade keeps getting better and better for both teams.

I don't know why people keep talking about the Lakers/LeBron. He's 38. Let it go. If they make the playoffs, great. If they don't let it go. Guy is 50 and carrying a team without AD. The Lakers roster needs a shooter.

Pacers last 71 seconds against Charlotte are worth a rewind. That was pure grit and hustle eking out a victory against a team that was highly motivated and had Ball playing to form. Secondary form and injuries concerning tho.
