I’m sure it’ll be broken. But it’ll be a long time from now. 

I’ve always wondered if anyone would break Wilt’s record for most points in a game. Closest we’ve come is when Kobe had 81 and even that was fifteen years ago. 

Cavs putting the THUMP on the Rockets, up 30 in the 2nd quarter.

I mean this Lakers/Mavs game is really delivering 

And then a ridiculous banked in 3 in OT to tie it 🤦🏻‍♂️

Holy shit lol….that was awesome

I haven’t watched very many games but I just watched maybe one of the better ones all year

And Pelicans/Thunder ending tops everything 

Good NBA night

They are curbstomping the bad teams that have the unfortunate pleasure of falling on the schedule during this incredible run.

If this continues, will be interesting to see if they are serious buyers at the trade deadline.

They will be buyers, not sure what constitutes as serious, though. If they want to go big, they have one of the best pieces to offer in Sexton. 

Every metric has them as the top team in the East and the adjust schedule record has them as around a 21-9 team vs 18-12. 

In other words, nothing on paper suggests that the on court results are “flukey” or should regress — other than maybe the margin of victories. There will be a let down, this type of play is impossible to sustain. But there really isn’t a reason they can get in and compete in the playoffs other than youth that hasn’t experienced it yet.

I've heard Okoro could be a piece added but with his recent play, likely not.

Even with his poor offnese to start the year, his net rating when paired with Allen or Mobley (and both) was off the charts. The defensive unit anchored by those 3 offset any deficiencies. Plus, his age and unlikely outcome of a massive extension, probably means he is part of the core.

Draymond flails on the floor for 3 minutes then just gets up and stays in the game. Glad it wasn’t LeBron

AD had worrisome knee injury last night. Player gets pushed by Lebron into his legs and knee kind of buckled sideways awkwardly. 

Looking for to Cavs - Bucks tonight 

A lot of teams without the necessary 8 players

Play 3 on 3. 

Each team should have to bring back a famed player from the last ten years. Come on down Ilgauskas.

Are you talking about the Heat? He wasn’t on the Cavs roster 10 years ago.  Do you feel old?

Now that you mention it, I am noticing more gray in my beard. 

I forgot he followed Lebron there. I just looked up he retired in 2011. 

Hubie Brown is 88

Incredible

Boston plays some defense

Greg Monroe signed a ten day contract with the TWolves the other day and played tonight, logging 11 points, 9 rebounds, 6 assists in 25 minutes. He last played in May 2019. 

Pangos doesn’t belong anywhere near an NBA court. 

LeBron closing out 2021 with a bang

27/10 at half…in 16 min

LeBron is honestly playing like a top-3 MVP candidate right now. Lakers are trash, so he is a distant afterthought. But holy fuck, he may lead the league in scoring.
