Thunder should rout the Warriors without Green and Curry.

Jimmy Buckets, slowly starting to give a crap about this season.
Heat on a 7 game win streak after everybody said they lost the offseason.
And now he's taking and making 3s.

Can't wait to tune into the Bill Simmons podcast in April to listen to Bill cry again. When Jimmy sends them home ... again.

Miami may still move Herro. It's just a matter of what they want in return.

When Jimmy retires. Ant Edwards will probably be my favorite non-Laker.

Hate to see Curry hurt, but I really want the Warriors to crash and burn. He's literally the only reason they haven't commenced a full-fledged rebuild. Bob Myers knew the ship was sinking so he bailed early. Good on him.

Lmao. Yeah right, the ultra defiant Russ requested to come off the bench.

How much did you pay him to go with it, Ballmer

This pod from March of last year when Bill had Mike Schur (creator of Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place, etc) was hilariously prophetic about the Heat taking out the Bucks and Celtics in the playoffs that year.



I am a big fan of Schur's TV shows so I can forgive that he is a Celts fan because of how funny this is.

"...and Jimmy Butler on the game is 3 for 5 from the field with 41 points because he's hit so many free throws"

It’s actually a interesting possibility, I don’t think a swap would make sense, GS would need to send us another good player in the deal… especially because Klay isn’t what he used to be. Klay coming back home might rejuvenate him a little bit

Klay has played like sh*t at the beginning of the year and still ended up over 40% from three by the end like clockwork.

I've always wanted him because I'm a Mychal Thompson fan, but lets just sign him next year if the Warriors don't extend him.

He's not a 40 million dollar player any more so maybe we get a good hometown discount.

Trading DLo for an older player is pointless. The dude is playing well. The others just need to either get healthy or start hitting their threes.

Do we even have the cap to sign him next year? I'm not sure we even have the FMLE to offer.

Just like that, clips added two bigs in theis and dedmon. When Plumlee comes back, they have some decent clean up crews on the board along with tucker

Alex Caruso is diving all over the floor, hurting his injured finger in the process.

Meanwhile, Zach LaVine has no interested in stepping in and putting his body on the line to help Caruso on this Banchero drive.

Pathetic stuff.

DeAaron Fox is all-NBA level. He's the most lethal player in the 4th quarter. It's wild how the perception on him changed post Luke Walton. He had the skill but the coaching and spacing were bad. Enter Mike Brown and a modern offensive system, and he's completely reborn. Good management matters.

Jealous that Utah actually figured out how to color their court. Don’t understand how we went with gold vs the perfect forum gold/purple colors we had on the court in 99-00 smh

I’ll take Caruso for GaVin and LaVin for Reeves lol! We’ll have to throw in Rui…who the Lakers aren’t using much anyway…and Fino. Gabe Vincent and Fino should be worth Caruso right? Then AR and Rui is worth LaVine?

I’m actually glad we can’t do a deal until Jan 15th because I’d like to keep our players that we currently have as the 1st option. Reeves/Rui better than LaVine and GaVin/AR better than Caruso!!! Plus we get to keep Fino!

AR/Rui is only worth $27m - So you're about $13m short for Lavine.

Rockets haven't won a game on the road yet. Just something to keep in mind before praising them.

Pelicans beating the Nuggets last night. Love to see it!
I want Denver to run into Minny and/or New Orleans in the playoffs. I think either team could send them home.

Denver has no answers for Zion or Ingram. And McCullom didn't even play.
