    How could the Bucks even get Jimmy without giving up Dame or Giannis??? They're above the second apron and can't trade two players in one trade or take on a dollar more than they're sending out.

    So, maybe Jimmy Butler doesn't want to play on the Bucks without Dame and Giannis both as his teammates... or maybe the dude seriously doesn't want to spend half of his season in a cold weather city which would be nuts.

    Two teams on pace to win 70 games each are battling in Cleveland.

    Honestly if the Blazers ever made the finals it would be a ratings drop.

    It's now been a full month since the Cavs last lost. Impressive.

    They were pretty good last year with Bickerstaff, but with Kenny they are simply amazing.

    I wish the Blazers had a good coach.

    Or maybe it's better to have a bad one in the name of tanking.

    Depends on how big of stars Shaedon and Scoot become. The league sells stars, not teams. Ratings weren’t particularly low in our last two trips to the Finals,

    They are on pace to win 73 games. It becomes a matter of whether they want it or not. Or will they rest players as the season winds down. The 73 win Warriors lost in the Finals and the 72 win Bulls almost blew a 3-0 lead in the Finals getting killed in games 4 or 5.

    They still won’t get past the Thunder in the playoffs. Thunder will lock them up.

    I would not bet on that. With Butler that team is very good.
