    Your spelling tells me that you're woozy from the drugs. I hope you're getting about 12 hours of sleep right now.

    The Sixers are 14-1 @home!!! This is a 19-9 team that is peaking.

    So I watch the highlights for the hornets/pistons game that happened tonight and of course they reviewed at the end of the game for Malik Monk as a 6th man on court. He was all the way on the other end too and ran on the court while shot was still in the air. Yet we couldn’t get a review for the wiz game earlier, smh.

    Almost exactly a third of the way through the season, and only two WC playoff teams from last year (GS and OKC) are in the top 8. Portland, NOP, SA, Utah, Minny, and Houston are all on the outside looking in. This season is utter insanity around the league.

    It's fair to say the Cavs fans like having Delly back.

    Wooooooowwwww...went full on Gibbs-to-Dinozzo on him. Yeah, I can't imagine most NBA players responding well to an old white guy smacking 'em on the back of the head.

    Toronto crushing the Warriors last night was fun. If I can’t have the Blazers win the title this year, I’m pulling for Toronto.

    Yes, Toronto won by 20 against a full strength GS team, and it was at GS. Looks as if they are ready to challenge for the title. Anything we can learn from them? Well, they have a new coach this year...... Other things may be more difficult to replicate. They don't start a true center. They have two tough defending guards in Lowry and Green with enough height between them to handle Curry and Thompson. What else?

    They have great depth and athleticism, and guys who took a leap. Siakam is awesome.

    Fired their Coach of the Year, traded one half of their 'top-3 back court in the league', get more length and better defensively.

    Compare that to what Portland has or has done.

    And that coach they fired beat them this season. There's no evidence that Toronto has improved because they fired Casey. After all, the Raptors won 59 games last season. We'll see how this team does.

    They're playing a better brand of basketball and have an improved roster. Its simple.
