    I think Toronto is going to NBA Finals. This isn't like last year when Boston was 1 seed. Toronto is going to win 60+ games this season. Cleveland can't deal with this. George Hill isn't adequate substitution for Kyrie Irving. LeBron's been playing hard all year and this is who they are.

    A POR-IND kpee/Nate reunion in the Finals would make the NBA put this on the FX network.

    Hahaha. Well FX is part of 20th Century Fox and 20th Century Fox is owned by Disney and ABC/ESPN are owned by Disney so there you go.

    A 38-30 Spurs team (if they win) may still be in 10th at night's end. Last year, we made playoffs with 41-41 record.

    Must be tough to be a Pistons fan tonight. They mortgaged the future for a Drummond/Griffin front line. Now they're
    down by 17 to the Jazz....

    So today kinda sucked in terms of results, unless you are a fan of the Spurs not gaining ground on anyone:

    MIN W+5
    OKC W+12
    LAC W+6
    NO W+4
    SAS W+36
    UTH up 33 in the 4th

    DEN against LAL in the late late game. Everyone 1-12 except GSW is on a winning streak (though one of DEN/LAL will lose also). Wow.

    Denver should be thanking their maker that their contract with him is only for 1 more year (guaranteed)

    Full season with Nurk? Concerted effort from Dame? Facing MANY opponents at less than full strength?
    Honestly, I don't see anything in particular that Stotts is doing differently - aside from not switching EVERY screen...he doesn't deserve credit for NOT doing the dumbest shit (anymore).
    Dame and Nurk (and Ed and Bazz) deserve the credit for our improved D. If Stotts ever decides to add depth to his playbook (on either end of the floor) then maybe he can get some credit too...but the bitch is basic.

    Julius freakin Randle!

    This guy is a killer. I see him getting paid a nice fat check from somebody.
