Holy crap the Grizzlies and the Mavericks suck.

Celtics look awful too. Thought they'd be a top 3 team in the East but they might be fighting for the eighth seed.

"Dance on that." -JVG

What a stupid, goty dance by Pachulia. Props to JVG for calling him out.

[AlexJones]

Boston fans are such racist POS.

Crowder and Horford have been out of last 8 games, but even before that they sucked on D this season..they could come desperate to us for Aldridge in the trade deadline..

[Spurtacular]

Cleveland up 20. GS up 25 in Boston. Glad I didn't do LP All Teams, tbh.

I think it's more likely they go all-in on getting Cousins. LMA wouldn't fit their playing style at all.

[spursistan]

Blazers should have signed Dwight, tbh..their defense is absolutely horrid: rim protection and on the perimiter.. they are still a ty road team that could lose to anybody..I never understood the pre-season hype for them..they fluked a 1st round win due to the Clippers injuries after fluking a 5th seed in a historically weak West with mul ude of teams derailed by health issues..

The West is even worse this year tbh; wouldn't shock me if they landed the fourth seed again.

[spursistan]

Mavs (2-8) starting somebody by the name of Dorian finney-smith and Seth Curry .. not sure if there is better argument to convince them to tank the out of the season..

Yeah, Top seed out West will mean a BYE to conference Finals...Unfortunately, I don't see us keeping with GSW/LAC without them suffering injuries.

Yeah, Seth has been absolutely horrible. He showed flashes of potential last year in Sacramento so I was expecting him to have a solid year given consistent playing time under good coaching but that hasn't been the case. Maybe he's best as a situational sub ala Matt Bonner. Anyway the Mavs don't have to tank, they're so bad that they'll lose games even on their best nights. I wonder how Carlisle will it tbh.

Spurs have proved over the past few years that HCA is meaningless outside getting that potential game 7 at home, but even then they'd prolly find a way to lose even with it. Just hope they figure things out on both ends, maybe add another playmaker, and enjoy the ride.

Ingram's leg looks like it is going to snap in 2 with every step he takes or every jump he makes
