    Is this a trick? I'll say it kinda looks like Vince Carter and then I'll be accused of not being able to tell black guys apart.

    It is not a trick, it is indeed Air Canada himself.

    Klay goes for 45 tonight. I saw Wes trying to use his size and strength to slow him down. Didn't work. Parsons tried as well.......

    I heard that the warriors have the best ever record after 46 games, so I checked bball reference.

    They do. But that bulls team was insane. Their longest losing streak was 2 games and their shortest winning streak was 5 (including the playoffs) and had a 13 game winning streak followed immediately by an 18 gamer.

    Could the Lakers be the first team with the worst record in the league to send a player to the all star game?

    I bet the Laker management analyzes and over rates talent in garbage time. They are either going to be doomed for a decade or turn it around real quick if Simmons turns out to be the next superstar. Not sure there will be any fringe success for them.

    Looked more Ed Davis to me - Plumlee's FT shot has improved quite dramatically.

    Actually, I think Plumlee has regressed lately. After sucking, I recall he got his FT% up to 61% - my vague memory says that was about 2 months ago. He's now at 62%. He may have been shooting up to 70% for a while, which is where I'd like to see him next year.

    Davis is still shooting 53%. Mo Harkless is shooting 57%, yuck :(
