Needs more.

Most hated Dukie?

Bucks 'disagree' with Grayson Allen's 1-game suspension for injuring Alex Caruso

A hard foul by Allen will cost Caruso 6-8 weeks.

One game is a joke.

Last night was the second time ever (with the current number of teams and set-up) that in a 5 game (or more) slate the average margin of victory was 20+.

These guys are shucked out and going through the motions coming into the break.

I really enjoy watching Ja Morant...thought this quote was awesome after being fouled hard by Marcus Morris...handled so well:

"Regarding the play, I'm not worried about it," Morant said afterward. "I'm actually cool with Morris brother. You see I got up. I played on concrete all my life."

Ja brushes off Morris' flagrant foul as Grizz cruise

Memphis Grizzlies All-Star Ja Morant drew a flagrant foul two on Tuesday night from LA Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr., who was ejected during the third quarter.

I generally hate the Morris twins but I thought it was just a hard foul without any intent to injure. I know Morris has a bad reputation I just think he made a bad play on the ball and underestimated how explosive ja is. I also can definitely understand why it was called a flagrant 2

I don’t know how, but the Lakers lost to a roster depleted tanking Portland team and Blevins had 8 points for Portland.

Is this a useful/good trade for the Bucks? I don't know enough about this guy...does he make them even stronger?

Ibaka to Bucks, Bagley to Pistons in 4-team deal

The Bucks have acquired Serge Ibaka from the Clippers as part of a four-team trade that also sends Marvin Bagley from the Kings to the Pistons.

Seems like just provides some quality big man depth. They weren't getting much from Divincenzo this year and Lopez is still out so it probably does improve them right now. Ibaka is also a good 3 point shooter.

I hope this Harden to Philly trade goes through.

Harden pulled the strings.

Harden pulled the strings.

It always seemed like the combination of Kyrie/Harden/Durant wasn't ever going to work. Whenever one would come back from injury, another would mysteriously get hurt around that time. Then you throw in the Kyrie fiasco to make it worse. I got the feeling that they never actually like playing together.

I don't get why KD didn't stay in Oakland...he never seems to be happy with any of the circumstances he finds himself in. He is damn good for sure...but something about him makes him seem kind of like a stealth-diva.

I don't think Green liked him and SC and Klay will take Green's side.

Though I would be hesitant to pay Harden the biggest contract in NBA history this summer, the 76ers can't waste Embidd's play this year and prime with his injury history the move is justifiable. They are real contenders now.

I actually like the fit of Simmons being the 3 best player for the Nets assuming Durant is healthly and Kyrie can play. Big move and they avoid paying Harden. Makes sense though when all 3 played last year in the playoffs they were the best team.

So...are the 2 best teams in the East Milwaukee and Philly?

It think part of it will depend on how well these two play together. I'm not sure how well that will go.

Edit. Never mind, sounds like Harden is exercising his option.
