Atlanta has won 10 games in a row.  They are now 1.5 games behind Toronto and Orlando for the 6th seed.

I know the style of the game has watered down these stats but at some point it can’t be ignored what Josh Giddey is doing right now.

decent offensive player on one of the worst teams in the league.  always has the ball in his hands.  he'll put up numbers simply because there is no one else on that team who can.

Gotta admire his commitment to defense though.

Brooklyn scored 24 points in the 1st half.  Half, not quarter.  OKC is up 60-24.

With 4 minutes left in the third, the Nets have already scored 20 points in the quarter.  All we need now is Blaha saying, don't look now but the Nets have cut this lead to 38.

An article in The Athletic said the group LeBron is part of is out on NBA expansion. They listed cost as the reason why. They said the expansion fee could be as high as $8 billion. 

The Lakers just sold for $10 billion and the Celtics for $6 billion. I can't imagine paying $8 billion for a team that doesn't exist. 

If they split the $16 billion that would be just over $500 million per team. Gores paid $350 million for the Pistons.

McCain is going to end up being the steal of the trade deadline. 

26 points in 29 minutes tonight.

Buddhas hate for the Bulls reminds me of this scene in Red Dawn.

Quote

Through every teams’ first 68 games in the schedule, NBA stars have played just 67.5% of their games. In other words, stars are missing about one out of every three games. And we haven’t even gotten to the final stretch in the season when playoff teams begin to rest stars ahead of the playoffs. It will likely get worse before it gets better.

To put this in perspective, 67.5% through 68 games is a massive drop from last season. At the same juncture last season, the play percentage for stars was 79.5%, a rate of playing four out of five games. Again, now it’s just two out of every three. The season before that, in 2023-24, the inaugural season of the 65-game rule, star players played a tick more at this point, suiting up in 80.4% of their games.

Trends are going in the wrong direction, and it’s creating a lot of unhappy fans and battered stars. The only star who may be happy about the 65-game rule is Karl-Anthony Towns. Believe it or not, he’s the only member of last year’s All-NBA team who is currently eligible for awards. That’s right: the other 14 members of the All-NBA team are either already disqualified for missing too many games or in jeopardy of missing the criteria altogether.

The worst part about the 65 game rule is that due to disqualifications Jalen Duren could very well make an All-NBA team. Get ready for that contract to put a chokehold on this franchise.

sure, but this rule wasnt instituted for cade.  cade is ACTUALLY INJURED.  everyone seems to forget why this waa put in: because too many players sit out for rest.

it was an attempt to give players an incentive to play.  but even with that incentive they dont care enough to play.

this is not a leahue problem, its a player problem.
