    Everybody respects the hell out of Pops; LeBron ain’t special there.

    Speaking of the Spurs and Pops, you don't see them blow a 6 point lead with less than 2 minutes left in a game like this often:

    If you didn't know, Kawhi has been medically cleared and is choosing NOT to play:

    Kawhi Leonard reportedly got medical clearance, but was not seen at the Spurs’ first practice after the break on Wednesday. Adrian Wojnarowski made it clear on Thursday the decision to return will be Leonard’s call. “He’s been cleared medically by the Spurs’ doctor and outside doctors, and it’s on him, his own threshold of pain or discomfort, about when he will return,” Wojnarowski said.

    Yep. Friend of mine this past weekend was talking about this - he’s very close with Patty Mills. It’s very odd what’s going on with Kawhi.

    He might be sick of playing with a really aging roster

    I know why they have the extended All-Star break but it sucks going a week in between games. Today would be the trade deadline in past seasons so we'd have a lot more to talk about during the down time. I wish they kept it the same.

    Your friend is close with Patty or Kawhi is close with Patty?

    Do they think he's trying to force his way out of SA?

    Even if he is hurt & rehabbing, it's odd to me that he wouldn't be around and interacting with the team.

    Very close with Patty. Both played at St Marys, where I went. He lives here in Portland. Patty and him speak or text almost daily, go on vacations, etc. Says that this Kawhi thing is weird. He is cleared to play medically. But he either has pain or 'remembers' the pain and just cant over it. Doesn't have a pain tolerance. I can only imagine how this rubs old-school Popovich. Would not be surprised if they part ways, but will of course take an incredible offer. Anthony Davis...

    Because I'd rather be discussing trades during the down time then to have nothing.

    Wow. I remembered Batum's tip in but I forgot about what led up to that. Great steals by Miller and Matthews. And how amazing that we scored 4 points in .9 secs. That is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

    So....who is picking Chicago @ home vs. the Sixers. Right after the break, with the newly acquired Noah Vonleh on board may spur an upswing for the Bulls.

    Then the Bulls are stupid. You can't waste raw talent.
