Thanks Heat for ending the C's winning streak. I was shocked considering they've been mediocre this year.

Warriors, lose to the Kings.

Although, Lakers lost too, but, we don't have a superstar team.

I would be happy to see Boston win. Shoot, even the Cavs...

I've been rooting for Boston to win the final for the past couple of seasons.

I hope Balmer blows it up. Trade D. Jordan, and start fresh.

Cant wait to see Lonzo vs warriors tonight.

Lonzo can't shoot but he's got great playmaking ability. He can work on his shooting and defense and get stronger. Will be solid.

Lonzo is better then Steph

Warriors continue to play like they’re playing, they won’t be winning that title this year.

Sixers are actually looking nice!!!

What's with everyone getting kicked out recently? Lebron, KD, Livingston.

What’s with KD. He must have been kicking it with some people from Oakland lately. He’s trying to be a bad ass. Getting ejected again.... while Green is keeping his cool for once.

You didn’t see LbJ (when playing In Miami) being hot headed like KD is being.

Heard talks of the Bucks picking up Jordan. Not sure if that is still a brain fart of an idea.

Don't let Jordan clog up the lane for Giannis and Parker is back. Already fired Kidd, how many more changes needed?

Not many, we have a good system at the moment. Just need to see how well it works. Parker needs to stay healthy and we might be a playoff team... I like the way we look now.

Giannis won't win MVP but he's got to be top 3 in the race. Love his game.

Marks is pretty good.

If he can develop to be Dirk Mk. II, I'd be pretty darn happy. Bulls just need to continue growing and building the proper way. Just not sure if they have enough to contend for anything in the future with the super-teams all around.

Well, it's all him and Drummond now. I don't think your Pistons have outside threats though as they are all headed to Clipper-land?

It'll be interesting but I am unsure if Blake pushes Detroit over the hump. He needs to stay healthy. But, he's the biggest star for that team since Grant Hill probably.

I think Reggie Jackson is their best wing player but he's out like 2 mos with an ankle thing. Huge injuries lately, Kevin Love (shocker) out, John Wall too.

Harden with the first 60pt triple double. That had to be fun to watch. I hate the guy though, way too cocky!

He probably had a quadruple double if they counted his minutes that he doesn't play defense...

What is wrong with the Cavs? Crazy how they are slumping so badly.

Why do I dislike Durant so much now! I used to like him when he played for OKC....

He's a bitch. I'm waiting for the day someone punches the shit out of him. Cousins would have did it, if Green didn't jump in the middle to break it up.

I also find it funny that Draymond is trying to be peacemaker.

Durant is so interesting physically. Just this lanky guy with no shoulders and a big head. And yet, so good.

Forgot about Cousins and I didn't realize Conley was also out for the year.

Yea, sucks for Cousins. Leaving Sacramento was the best thing for him.

I sort of liked him when he played for Sac, but I HATE the Kings with a passion, so I couldn't admit to liking Cousins at the time.

Rasual Butler and his wife Leah LaBelle. A lot of players said he was a good dude. Came up with the Heat.

Now Porzingis done

Great GW by Lebron to temporarily stop the bleeding. These guys got blown out by the stinking Magic.

Trade deadline today

Lonzo already knocked up his gf.

IT and Channing Frye go to LAL

Nance Jr and Clarkson go to CLE

Wade back to Miami?


Cleveland is making moves!

Wade, Thomas, Rose, Crowder, Shumpert and Johnson all gone.

I guess Lebron was done with all of them.
