The East vote isn’t so bad outside of Rose and Aldridge.
And Kyrie
That’s true. Forgot about him.

Did he not turn down the Suns in the offseason?

He's kind of tempting, but the likelihood is that he's totally washed. The Nets could use what he theoretically brings also and he was buried there.

I thought he was washed last playoffs and would much rather have Biyombo and Jalen Smith get those minutes.

I'd bet he goes to the Bulls.

Goga was so embarrassed that he got himself ejected. :lol:

Pacers are giving them a game but feels like the Warriors will pull it out. Pacers are in Phoenix on Saturday.

Warriors absolutely should've won that game. They played with their food and choked in the clutch moments. Steph blew a defensive assignment on Holiday's tying 3. JTA missed a makeable layup to win at the buzzer. Kerr put an ice cold Klay into the game on the late possession in OT and the pass went off of his hands out of bounds. Draymond is the heartbeat of that team in a lot of ways.

As for the Pacers, it's wild how Lance Stephenson changed their entire mood.

Love to see the Warriors get another loss. We've opened up a lot of space at the top of the West standings.

My hope is that they are racing out to a huge lead so that they can rest some players to avoid an injury in the playoffs.

Don't look now, but the Suns have the longest winning streak in the league again (5 games). And they're 8-1 in January (after going 2-3 in October, 16-0 in November and 8-4 in December). They've won 34 of their last 40 games (.850).

They also the league's best record (35-9), the best margin of victory (+8.0) and the best road record (18-4).

Games missed this season - Sarić 44, Kaminsky 31, Nader 29, Ayton 16, Booker 7, Crowder 6, Payne 5, McGee 4, Shamet 4, Johnson 3, Smith 2

Surprised that Draymond is more important to the Warriors on offense than he is on defense.

I kinda wonder if Klay coming back has been the issue with the offense. He has not been good. I saw a tweet earlier showing the Warriors offensive rating with Curry on and Draymond off is actually better than when both are on.

Houston leading Golden State by 11 at halftime in San Francisco, 54-43.

Curry is 1 for 9 shooting for 6 points.

The Rockets had them on the ropes but let them escape on a Curry buzzer beater.

It's nice to be ahead of the Warriors by 4 losses. I suspect we'll appreciate the cushion as the end of the season draws near.
