    Apparently they approached VC a few seasons ago but he wanted to be a starter and play major minutes. Looks like he's trying to pad out his career stats to go for a HOF push.

    Bosh is too high risk.

    Celtics are not a healthy team. Pelicans can beat them today and OKC on Tuesday.

    If I didn't know any better, I'd think someone was fielding a team of Westbrooks.

    Not at all. He's in a weird situation, just got sent to a new team with a ton of solid big men, yet the team is dysfunctional..

    Sounds exactly like what Mike Malone would've said about Nurkic while Nurk was in Denver.

    West is much better than the East.

    If we beat OKC in our 4th matchup with them, we'll have to lose 5 more games than them over the rest of the season for them to get ahead of us (4 losses up + tiebreaker).

    Just For Fun... what happens if you switch Capella and Nurk? Do we see a lot of Dunking for Nurk playing with the Rockets? How about Capella? Is he a better PNR player for Dame?

    They are just different players. Capella is a quick jumper while Nurk isn't. At least Nurk can sometimes create his own shot. Capella pretty much has to be set up or get offensive rebounds.

    Wolves broadcaster just said on live TV that Dame is number 2 on MVP race because Portland is a garbage team without Dame.

    If they have a game against us coming up I’m sure he is.

    Amazing how Hardens hand hurt so bad when he was trying to draw a foul, then was fine for a possession, then hurt again when he was called for a charge. Almost like he like he turn the pain on and off...

    After the Pelicans game, the TV guy said "Go Blazers! Go Blazers!" I guess they've given up on 3 seed and just want to make playoffs now.
