Kind of a fun story today on The Ringer, about that memorable Suns/Nets game back in 2006.

If I'm not mistaken, wasn't that the Alvin Gentry YSMF game?

It already hasn’t aged well. The page I was looking at for road record information must have been older, because it didn’t list the 2015-16 Warriors, who were 34-7 and broke the Bulls record for road wins and percentage (.829) in a season.

All the @s look scary, and of course there are still a lot of difficult games left, but right now the team has been better on the road (19-7, .730) than at home (23-9, .719). In fact, still theoretically in play is the possibility of winning out on the road and going 29-7 for a .8055 winning percen...

What if this ends up being our year to go far in the playoffs, partly because everybody else is breaking down with injuries?

Don't even say such things. She's still out there. You know who I mean.

Curry could be terrifying in a 1-game win-or-go-home situation. I'll quietly note that the Warriors have had most of this recent success (four game win streak prior to their game last Saturday at Boston) with Oubre sitting out. He was back for this Philly game, but played reduced minutes (just over ...

Yeah, the foul was called against Tucker coming over to help. You can kind of see that his elbow jostled Book's elbow a little bit right as he was going into his shooting motion. It wasn't much of a foul, and I'm sure the Bucks fans are upset about it happening in that situation.

I'd be happy with a Booker All-Nba Selection. Well, if that were to shake out similar to the MVP straw poll numbers, it looks like the guards would be: Lillard and Harden (1st team), CP3 and Luka (2nd team), and Mitchell and Curry (3rd team) -- and Booker would be the next guy up, on the outside lo...

"Best" is hard to exactly quantify. Thinking about it, though, I think a good way to put it might be "most complete." There really isn't anything that it's important for a point guard to do, that Chris Paul doesn't do at least pretty well. I think that if you look at the history ...

I don't think anybody wants to trade away this version of Ayton. But even his strongest supporters would have to admit that this is not the version of Ayton that was playing for long stretches this year. It's really great to see him this focused, and he has been for a couple of weeks in a row now. I...

The Rudy/Mitchell split of votes looks about right. The CP3/Booker split is kind of ridiculous. But, it goes to show how much depends on the power of a particular narrative when it comes to this award.

There are game-winners, and then there's this thing that Doncic just did. I don't even know how to describe it.

There are some quirks about the way it's set up that are eventually going to produce some odd results, though. For instance, the 7th and 8th place teams play one "play-in" game; the winner of that game is automatically determined to be the 7th seed when the playoffs begin. While it probab...

Yeah. Until you've done it, you don't know for sure if you can do it. And even with Paul, Crowder, and Craig, it's still a team that's relying very heavily on younger guys and/or guys who haven't ever been there. Booker, Ayton, Bridges, the Cams, Saric, and possibly Carter - that's 6 or maybe 7 guys...

I believe he hit 2 more after this tweet
Can't believe they called an offensive fouls on his step back either

Ya I’d love to see a replay...I didn’t catch the foul live.

Here you go.

I think Westbrook has been a pretty damn good player though most of his career. But over the course of the last few years, he's really made an art out of the triple double which somehow has almost no impact on the game. Tonight was a perfect example.

Any thoughts on Neemias Queta? I can't tell if he's a good basketball player or if he's just taking advantage of smaller competition in the NCAA. Is he quick enough to play in the NBA? Does he actually have the court awareness that his assist number indicate? Me, a couple pages ago: I do think that...

Dennis Johnson to Boston.

At the 2/3 mark of the season, here's a breakdown of the team's record against everybody else: Team Record Remaining ---- ------ --------- East: 14-6 Atlanta 1-0 +1 R Boston 1-0 +1 R Brooklyn 0-1 +1 R Charlotte 1-1 Chicago 2-0 Cleveland 1-0 +1 R Detroit 1-1 Indiana 1-1 Miami 1-0 +1 H Milwaukee 1-0 +...
