  How the hell is Vince Carter still playing at a decent level?!? Dude is 145 years old.

  It's a top 10 list. I guess I looked pretty much all this year and playoffs last year. I don't believe Paul is top 10 but put him in there as it seems everyone out there seems to rank him so high.

  Yep, those two plus Porzingis were fun to watch.

  Going into this season, I thought a couple teams out west might have given the warriors fits. Memphis is one of them.

  Memphis is always on that list for the playoffs...but like CP3 never get it done.

  When is the last time an NBA Finals seemed so obvious? I mean both Cleveland and Golden State don't even seem beatable in their conference.
  
  Maybe Spurs/Heat in 14?

  I'm not 100% convinced it's foregone Golden State will be there. I think they will. Probably easily. But the west is so tough, you never know. Cleveland I think will definitely be there but who outside of Toronto maybe​ stands a chance with them?

  GSW had a tough time last year, and this year they have way more flaws. They are far from a lock, matchup depending, in playoffs.

  Davis Bertans averaging 2.6 ppg for Spurs went for 21 tonight on 6 shots.

  Scrolling through box scores and couldn't remember him ever being in double digits and then to see he only had 6 FG attempts...thought it was interesting.

  Derrick Rose didn't show up to the Knicks game tonight. Still missing. Very strange
  
  Edit: soon as I type that, I saw Noah said he talked to him after the game and he is okay.

  Tommy Dee @ThomasCDee Re: Rose source tells me that he and Hornacek had a "major blowout" following the Pacers game.
  
  lol what a mental bitch boy

  lol Rose is such a bitch boy:
  
  Derrick Rose was reportedly such an emotional wreck on Monday afternoon that his only solution was to leave the New York Knicks to be with his mother and his son, skipping their game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
  Rose's state of mind was such that for a brief time he talked about walking away from basketball for an extended period of time to clear his mind.
  Rose hinted at his emotional state by saying "I didn't want to take any calls at the time. I needed that space to myself and I needed to be around my mom."
