[4/5]

He's definitely on everyone's scouting report now so they're probably figuring out ways to get on his nerves. He has to keep it in check. I agree about the organization. If they can't help him there aren't many others that can.

I mean at this point every team Miami plays should tell their bigs to get in his ear, to bump him, foul him hard and whatnot. They'd be crazy not to.

Exactly.

So there's about 12 teams that could win this? Such a joy this season.

Pretty much. The playoffs are going to be awesome.

And out of those twelve teams, ten of them are teams who haven't won a title this century.

Hawks getting smacked...

Hawks getting smacked...

yeah I think it was around 30 at some point. They made it respectable at the end.

I don't think they are going to fight too hard for the #1 overall seed. This road trip should be interesting though. Korver looks like he's getting back into form.

I look for the Hawks to start giving their bench more minutes (ala the Spurs) as these last 15-20 games unfold. They have an insanely comfortable lead for first in the conference.

Westbrook was a total disaster last night. Looking forward to Cavs-Spurs tonight.

Me too. It was really weird to see Lebron without a headband the other night.

You're right, that's already started and been debated actually, they've been doing that for the better part of the last month.

Makes sense. I haven't watched a ton of their games lately outside of the Cavs game.

I think they play Golden State next week. Other than that, probably not worth the investment in time until the playoffs.

The only real seeding concern for teams in the east should be not facing Cleveland until the conference finals. As a Bulls fan, Washington seems like the inevitable matchup, which should be fun.

I dunno, I could see them just as easily facing Toronto or Milwaukee. I feel any of the three through six teams at the moment could either reel off a winning streak against some bad teams and move up or, conversely free fall (or continue to free fall) down the standings.

Kyrie had a decent game last night.

That was just an insane game.

[nyquillyn]

Didn't get to watch the game.

Didn't get to watch the game.

That is why League Pass is the best. Games on demand.

Last night was embarrassing. That's the kind of year the Spurs have had. Their heart just isn't in it this year. No intensity. When others are having a rough night, Kawhi needs to step up and he just doesn't do it. He needs to get in people's faces. He needs to be aggressive. He needs to take more than 9 fucking shots.
