With Horford and Crowder likely out again tonight. I'd love it if Stevens sat Thomas and Bradley and just take this inevitable spanking as a given. Then the team can go to Detroit tomorrow and try to get the W. Crowder may even be back for that one.

Horford still out with a concussion? Just wow

It's really weird. He made a statement the other day saying that he wouldn't talk about his symptoms. Wtf? There is still not timetable for him coming back. I guess he's been at some shootarounds which is probably part of the protocol. But the fact that he's still having symptoms means the doctors can't let him come back, and also that the concussion has had a long impact on him. I first hope he's ok, for his sake of course, but it's also pretty concerning for the team too.

Bulls team looks good watch out East. They are starting to play Defense and Butler is a beast. Its nice to have 2 clutch shooters on the Bulls with Wade and Butler.

They're an interesting team. Not sure they can compete with Cleveland . . . but the Bulls could become the #2 in the East. If Cleveland gets bit by the injury bug . . . anything could happen.

That being said, I think the 76ers will beat Chicago on Black Friday next week.

I wouldnt want to play the Bulls in the playoffs. They are playing tough, best rebounding team and have 2 clutch shooters. They are ding this with 3 guys out MCW, McDermott and Rondo.

think they can compete but wont beat them in a series. I think I see #3 or #4 seed. Atlanta is really good when healthy. The one good thing if Bulls play Cleveland they have some one that can contain(not stop) LBJ with Butler. Irving will destroy us though.

Hawks/Hornets is the best match up of the night

Warriors/Celtics could be a good game to watch.

Cleveland disagrees with you.

Too many players missing from Boston

Just imagine if you're a Cavs fan living in Indiana and you always try to go to a Cavs game when they visit the Pacers and this was the game you chose. I have to imagine you would be pretty disappointed

This was one of the reasons Kobe didn't rest much.

Plus, they keep answering those Durant questions.

Did you guys really believe he was coming?

I just don't understand Crowder's fury.

He took it worse than OKC fans.

Thomas at least has gotten over it.

I can't tell if Crowder is genuinely pissed about the Durant thing or just trying to get everybody riled up.

I admit me, my family and a lot of my friends bought into the hype of the Boston media. I kinda thought KD was coming.

(pause for laughter)

I thought we would be a great landing spot for him, especially with Horford on board. I also didn't really think he wanted to stay in OKC because I truly believed he wanted to get away from Russ.

I was honestly very surprised he went to GS. The main reason is I thought for sure he'd see the writing on the wall as far as the backlash he'd get from it. And TBH I didn't think he'd have the balls to do it lol. Props to him I guess. He knew what he wanted and went after it.

Jason Kidd says his players could learn something from Whiteside *gasp*

I knew if he left, it would have to be an upgrade.

Clippers and Boston were both lateral moves in comparison to what he already had in OKC.

So, I never even entertained the idea, especially since we were not offering the Max.

Has anyone else read this story about Parsons?

I don't even know what to think of all this.....lol

There probably should be a definitive line between being an Owner and being Homies with the players.

Spotting the cab as he left with friends, Parsons saw an opportunity to get the last laugh. He hopped in with his boys, slipped the driver a $100 bill and told him to take off. The timing worked to perfection. Just as the cab started rolling, Cuban walked out. Parsons rolled down the window and stuck out his head. “Max or nothing, m—–f—–!” Parsons hollered at Cuban, cracking up his crew. Just one last joke in a night full of them. This is the behind-the-scenes tale of the NBA’s biggest bromance gone wrong.
