    In 28 minutes, Brook Lopez hasn't grabbed a rebound. Unbelievable.

    Jokic has to be the least marketable “star” in the league. He plays and looks so goofy.

    Thanks LeBron. That's a tough home loss for Denver.

    Clips, Nuggs, and Jazz all tied for 8th now. The Blazers are a full 4 games up on that trio now. It's nice to get a little separation from the back of the pack.

    I didn't even notice that Memphis has lost 15 in a row.

    It must be anti-tank time, the top 7 teams have win streaks of 17, 6, 6, 1, 8, 2, and 10 games. You don't see that every year.

    It’s great for the league, the second half of this season has been like watching the battle of midway in a basketball format

    Those weren't predictions. @Strenuus asked who we should cheer for, not who we thought would win.

    based on pure talent, offensively I think theyre only behind GSW & HOU, just too much fire power, but their defense is non-existent

    for example, look at this, they often have games like this, look at the starting five...

    OT: I just want to take a quick moment to congratulate all the Beaver's fans on their victory last night in Overtime against the Huskies. You guys won THIS one. Kudos.

    Craziest part in this whole 8 game win streak is that all the other top teams in the conference have streaks going also. Houston 17 games. Golden State 6 games. The Pels 10 games.
    We know one of those streaks will end Friday. I'm thinking it's getting time for Houston to lose a game eventually. Houston has a game at Toronto coming up. The Pels have Washington and the Jazz coming up.
    Of course the Blazers have GS, Mia and then the Cavs. I would say the toughest is without a doubt is what the Blazers are looking at.

    Anyone know what Nikola Mirotic's winning % is for this season? (Just a reminder: I wanted us to draft him instead of Nolan Smith. Just in case anyone needed reminding.) What with the streak that Chicago went on when he came back from The Punch and now New Orleans' streak... I wonder if re-signing Boogie is starting to look less attractive to their front office?

    That seems like a no brainer. No question that team is stacked with Cousins on it. That's like saying the Blazers played better without Lillard so let him go. There is actually a thread that discusses it being laughed at as we speak. Now the Mirotic thing doesn't seem to hold much water either. Kind of like the "Cuban finger missile crisis". Borrowed that title from that thread. Really like it.
