OKC beats Boston by one. They are still in 6th but are now only a half-game back of Houston for 5th, just two back of Utah for 4th, and are three back of Denver for 3rd.

Houston has now lost 3 straight as they have seemingly hit a wall after that good stretch where it looked like smallball was working.

Correction: Houston is about to lose its 4th straight and will be tied with OKC for 5th.

Quietly. Porzingis has once again established himself as an all star level player and a great get for the Mavs. And for as little as they paid for him. 20 points second option, 9 boards, elite rim protection and the best floor spacing big in the league for a measly 2 late 1st round picks ..... Unreal.

Dallas is a dangerous 1st round team. I think who ever plays them is going to face a tough 6-7 game series (please be Clips please be Clips lol).

Sounds like Harden is holding out, maybe will force Houston to trade him.

What do you guys think the Wolves should do with Towns? They have Edwards and by the time they can put a competitive team around him, Towns will be ending his prime. Imo those two can't coexist not fit wise but window to win wise. Towns needs to win now, and that won't happen in Minnesota. So trade (to who, for what)? Or keep and continue trying to get into playoffs

The Timberwolves beat the Clippers last night. Beverly and Russell played off the charts when KAT got into foul trouble. Don't count them out.

I know y'all gon hate me for saying the. I've been watching the SailBoatBoys. They're playing good ball. Harden's playing like the Harden of old. PG13 has nights where there is no lid on the basket. Khawi's logging more PT than I've seen him log ever. Westbrook has lost his mind. He's playing like he did in OKC. They have a real chance to win the West. LINK

Ben Simmions is playing decent basketball to date. LINK Maybe he's decided to play ball.
