Michael Porter Jr number 10 in the East?

[ShelC]

Hopefully just a hyperextension.

[Kryptonic]

Dang... injury bug seems to be going around.

[Shabazz]

How did Caleb Love go undrafted? Dude can play.

[Mori Chu]

Interesting chart. Lebron is doing crazy things for his age. KD also sneaking up if he can stay healthy.

[Kryptonic]

Jokic out at least 4 weeks...

Spoiler: show/hide

And LeBron has not said anything about retirement yet as far as I know. I wonder how many more seasons he can go? He's going to make the all-time scoring record impossible to beat with his number of years plus continuing high skill level.

He can't leave soon enough.

Am I the only one who loves watching ball this year?
Not just the Suns, but ALL basketball?
So many great new, young players are great to watch, along with newfound intensity when playing has me geeked to watch almost any game, regardless of record.

[Kryptonic]

Giddy stung by the hammy bug Just me or is this seem like an unusual year for hamstrings?

[Kryptonic]

Found an interesting study on hamstring injuries in the NBA... Looking at the study, Green SHOULD be back any day now; fingers crossed.

Three Jokic plays on that list, and it didn't even include the on-the-move spinning behind the back wraparound bounce pass he hit against Memphis earlier this year, that's at least as good as any of those. Joker seems to make a half dozen plays every year that would be most players' greatest passes ever.
