Klay Thompson beats the Bulls on his own... Literally.

Not even ten games into the season and LeBron is already frustrated. Who saw that coming (except for literally everyone)?
Poor Luke Walton... as if having to deal with LaVar alone wasn’t bad enough. Tyronn Lue is available though.

Warriors already have 3 40-point scorers 8 games into the season. Wow.

The Kings have won four straight. That is not a joke.

I hate to say it but I think its time for us to blow things up. We have so many players on bad contracts and no cap space because of it, and even with a massive turnaround like two years ago we're not better than at least the Bucks, Raptors, Celtics, or Sixers so the best outcome for this year would be a first round playoff loss. Everyone besides Kelly Oubre and Tomas Satoransky should be considered tradeable, and Porter and Mahinmi especially should be shopped aggressively. Everyone knows the Warriors are winning it all anyway this year (hopefully next year is the start of their downfall though with them having a bunch of expiring contracts, including Durant) so might as well get started on building for the future.

I think part of the reason for the Wizards' struggles is John Wall's ego. Sometimes having an ego like he does doesn't help a team. That could be the case. |

I think part of the reason for the Wizards' struggles is John Wall's ego. Sometimes having an ego like he does doesn't help a team. That could be the case. Yes, it would certainly be nice if both he and Beal would do less talking and more playing. But it isn't like they're completely wrong either, they and Oubre have been the only ones keeping us in games this year. Porter has been completely MIA since he signed his utter joke of a contract, Marqueef will only show up once every two weeks or so, Howard hasn't even played yet and his replacement is somehow making Marcin Gortat look good in comparison (while making $18 mil per year). Meanwhile nobody on the team can be bothered to get a rebound or put forth any effort on defense whatsoever, and Scott Brooks couldn't make a good in-game adjustment if his life depended on it. The biggest problem with this team is a total and complete lack of effort, determination, and hustle. |

Starting a Scarecrow at Center would be an upgrade over Gortat. |

The Mavs need to make sure we keep losing. Right now, we're tied for the 5th-worst record in the NBA. We have some really good pieces to build around - Jalen Brunson, Luka Doncic, Dwight Powell & Dennis Smith all could be good - but we really need at least one more piece to add to the puzzle to be a playoff contender again. If that doesn't come from a top-5 protected pick next year, I don't think this group will ever have success. We don't attract top free agents, and waiting around for the 2020 draft seems like we may have missed our window to really build correctly.

That was vintage D Rose. Wow. Never would've thought he'd have a game like that again.
And Spencer Dinwiddie just singlehandedly beat the Pistons... who cut him a few years ago.

D-Rose. That was awesome to see. Hopefully it keeps happening.

That is incredible. Now it will be very interesting to watch and see if he can keep it up.

The Clippers benched Gortat for Boban. I was giving it until December, happened earlier than I thought.

OMG we actually won a game. At basketball. Against another NBA team. (Okay maybe that last thing was a bit of an exaggeration.)
