    Chicago Bulls going smallball (except for Vuc):

    Basically 4 guards and Vucevic. They can get away with it, though, because the two smallest (Beverley and Caruso) are also defensive bulldogs.

    When you think about it, "Post Malone" is the best possible name for a lumbering NBA player.

    Spurs have lost 16 in a row. Pops is just as good at tanking as he is at winning with Duncan, Parker and Ginobili.

    Yeah but you know they will find something on the replay to justify their call. They will not allow too many challenges.
    None-the-less it is a much-needed rule change. Right now the coaches are holding back knowing they need a challenge in their pocket for when the game is on the line.

    True. Or just decide to justify it anyway.

    Billups: There was no contact.

    Ref: He touched him

    Billups: He was five feet away, they never touched....challenge

    Ref: After review, the breeze initiated from Blazer #6 touched and impacted the shot of his opponent. Because the opponent was knocked down by said breeze, the call has been upgraded to a flagrant 1. The opponent will have two chances at 1 free throw and then possession of the ball.

    Miami, Sacramento, Dallas and Portland all showed interest in him in December, according to reports.

    The Heat grabbed Love and Portland is probably #3 on the pecking order of these teams in terms of opportunity and situation.

    And then there's the whole matter of whether Cronin is even entertaining the thought of a buyout big given their apparent new tack. I have my doubts.

    Knicks will win their 6th in a row and move into 5th place.

    We can pass the Pelicans with a win tomorrow. Winning these next 2 would be huge. Win next 5 and we’re probably 7th.

    LeBron is out for weeks now. The Lakers are done.
