    Yo these refs reffing our game must be the same from the Jazz game; there’s no way they are letting us lose this.

    Damn the Spurs are up by 22 without DeRozan but the Nuggets cut it to 4

    feel bad for the Spurs but the Blazers need some separation

    I know that the East is weak and all, but I feel like Milwaukee isn't quite getting the attention they deserve for what they've done so far. They're 46-7 right now, which is a 72-win pace. Sure they'll probably drop off a bit in April after they've clinched everything, but for the moment it's pretty impressive.

    Maybe just as impressive is what Nick Nurse has done in Toronto AFTER losing 2 starters from an underdog NBA Championship team including the Finals MVP and perhaps best 2-way player in the league. They own the 3rd best record in the entire league. 8 of their top 9 players have missed 10 games or more already this season. 3 of their top 8 have missed 15 games or more. He has done an unbelievable job!

    People notice, they mostly just don't care. Just like the Blazers going to the conference finals. They'll care more come playoff time.

    Plus, the people reporting on the league love to create the story that small market towns/boring towns aren't important...and when fans don't show they care about said franchises (because they are never on tv/talked about because they're "boring"), it proves them right.

    The league loves exciting towns (LA, New York, Miami, New Orleans) and doesn't care about much else. And even New Orleans is really getting it good because they have Zion.

    The Raptors have won their last 15 games and have essentially gained no ground on the Bucks. Wild.

    Okc is a small market if not top 3 smallest markets and they were fine with KD and Westbrook in their prime

    In football, I despise just 2 teams. In baseball, I don't despise any team. In basketball, there are only a few teams
    I DON'T despise, and when they start getting a bunch of media love, I despise them, too.

    I wonder why this is.

    Baseball is much less of an in-your-face sport.
    Football has 24 starters, not 5.
    Do these things matter?

    Even wilder: Giannis leads that team in MPG... at 30.8! That's less than Trevor Ariza plays for us.

    Yo this LeBron-AD 1-2 is terrifying. AD is such a great all around player it’s insane, he’s knocked down two big 3s in a row coming off of a LeBron drive and dish.

    This team is going to very hard to beat in the playoffs, but if anyone can do it...

    Watching the Lakers vs Nuggets compared how the Blazers play is just sad
