    And the Pels didn’t have Ingram. No matter who plays, the games count the same.

    The Lakers WERE playing well. Then AD got sick and the losses started piling up again (3 straight I believe). Also- LeBron has been playing lately. Your post is perfect for 10 days ago.

    "The move that might have saved the Golden State Warriors season"

    All right," Kerr says to his staff, "we have to put Draymond in that second unit."

    The idea isn't without risk. The Warriors' starting lineup -- Green, Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Kevon Looney -- is the single most effective lineup in basketball. Disrupting it could easily backfire.

    Instead, the move does something far more than stabilize a rickety, losing bench unit. It stabilizes a Warriors season teetering on the brink.

    I wonder if Silas has the Rockets believing they can make the play-in. They’ve had some impressive wins lately. They’re only 5 games back of 10th.

    He wasn't very efficient. But on the plus side, Killian Hayes no longer looks like a complete waste of a pick.

    For the first since KD/Kyrie joined the Nets, I’m officially convinced they’re a contender. Simmons is rounding into shape, the role players are healthy, and don’t look now, but they have the contribution of TJ Warren. He was nearly Bubble MVP before he got hurt. Nets are deep and have high end talent. If I was in the East, I wouldn’t want to face them. Boston? You in danger, girl.

    Yeah he's looked good as well. So interesting that I don't look at the efficiently ever. If a player puts up the numbers I love 'em.

    That’s it. I was talking about how the team looks now and here you go. I’m done. You’re on ignore. Any post directed to me is a waste of your time now.
    Oh fuck. I can’t ignore you cuz you’re a mod. That sucks. Stop responding to me anyway. It’s really irritating and destroying my enjoyment of the team.

    Nah bro. They are 30 games in and starting to gel. That team is obviously a contender as long as they stay healthy.
    The "as long as they stay healthy" part stays true right through April.

    Nets are starting to do what everyone always expected them to do given their roster (Even back with Harden for some reason) which is win consistently.

    They have had some good wins so far, are a lock to make the playoffs barring some kind of disaster scenario, and will likely have HCA. Not too crazy to consider them contenders, when the distance between an average playoff team and a contender is smaller than the space between Hardens beard hair. Last year Luka and the Mavs showed us how easily an average playoff team can look like a potential legitimate contender.
