lot of depth--- a different guy can step up. Ty Jerome really showed up tonight after losing minutes lately.

Cavs did it their way- 7 players in double digits. OKC is really really good.

winning streak snapped!

without Kuminga you can see the lack of high-end athleticism on the Warriors very starkly.

that a BAD loss by the Lakers. No Doncic, no Kyrie....LeBron and Davis healthy- DFS doing what he should do- hitting some 3's at a high rate. Is the Lakers defense really that bad?

Riley is what? Gonna be 80 in May? Not sure how much time he has left. I think a lot of the issue for the Heat is Riley wants to win ASAP. How many more years is he really going to be there? They are not without talent- Bam and Herro are pretty good places to start, but until they kind of...

unless they can trade trade, and take back no long term salary, and get Robinson to decline (which I dont know why Robinson would decline his 20M player option since hes not getting anything close to that), they wont have any cap room next summer. if they take back a guy like Beal they bust...

yah no Cavs fan (that I know at least) is saying anything about a "dynasty" to give the OP the benefit of the doubt- it looks like the Cavs and Thunder are loaded with good young players- and at least for the Cavs- signed up for years to come- and likely to be around the top of the standings...

Fox? cmon brah

no one predicted the Cavs to be on a 70 win pace like they are right now. If they get to 65 wins I think they will be ecstatic. That would be 17 losses. 47 games left. 65 wins would mean going something like 34-13 the rest of the way to get to 65 wins- which would def. not be easy. you...

Butler is declining anyway- he is 35 and has as much miles as anyone in the league not named LeBron on his odometer- he misses a lot of time every year. He steps up in the playoffs- but for Jimmy it always seems like its been about him for his entire career.

Mobley still isnt shooting many threes- less than 2 a game--- but is at 43.5% from 3. If down the road that guy can reliably shoot a 3 he becomes a PROBLEM. He is already one of the best defensive players in the league, can play unselfishly, can score when they need it. Atkinson is doing...

pretty awesome. the thing this team needs to learn more than anything else is toughness- its what has gotten them in past years- the grit that it takes to win in the playoffs. They are confident and playing awesome right now and Garland and Mobley are getting better. I hope Allen steps up and...

glad OKC got the win- if the Cavs can force a Knicks/Celtics matchup it would be nice. Not saying the Cavs would walk to the conference finals even without playing those 2- they surely wont- but it would be nice if they only had to play one of them, and had home court

the Jimmy Butler era in Miami was always going to end this way--- him acting like malcontent- forcing their hand to try and trade him. Apparently he is going to be EXTREMELY difficult to trade. Which teams could actually trade for him? Butler asking to be traded and the Heat now listening to...

Oh i agree- thats what i was saying- i was just reading a thing on The Athletic where a guy had a Top 5 tier- and I agree with you Memphis is not there yet.

yah there is no all time great team in their way which is helpful. I think it depends on the Celtics and how hungry they are and how healthy they stay. That is really really good team. I also think the Knicks are a little interesting- they seem to be putting it together- Brunson, Towns...

having said that- I think the NBA is pretty short on great teams right now- so its not as difficult to win the title as maybe in past era's.

its possible....especially coming out of the West they might only get one tough series until the Finals....they do rely on a lot of young guys, and young teams dont win the title too often. I think they will eventually get there, but young teams rarely win an NBA finals. Curry was what? 28...

GSW could land a big fish with Kuminga- but that obviously hurts them long term. I dont think Kuminga is a #1 build around type talent- but he could (COULD) be something like a low-level 2 or a high level #3...... I was going to say #2- but not sure if Kuminga ever gets to the point of being a...

JJJ?

I agree....I dont think Memphis is good enough to be in that top tier- at least not yet. 3 of the top 4 in the East makes it tough- I still think the Celtics are/should be hte consensus favorite.

what high level wings are on the market? if any? a ton of teams could trade for Butler or Ingram if they wanted to and a good team like the Thunder could trade for high level wing- but would also be giving up some of their core that makes them a good team in the first place. best wings...

Heat next year: Butler- 52M player option (prob will not pick up) Robinson- 20M player option (prob will pick up) Bam: 37M Herro- 31M Rozier- 27M Highsmith- 6M Ware- 5M Love 4M Jovic- 4M then there are club options or restricted options on: Jaquez- 4M Johnson- 2M Christopher - 2M Smith - 2M...
