Kemba Walker benched in NY.  What a fall from grace for him.

This blows my mind. When he was in Charlotte he was an All Star. I can see why he didn't really explode in Boston where he had to share the ball with Tatum and Brown, but I expected him to take charge of that NY roster. Maybe he's having issues with Thibbs and his methods.

From what I read, he's being outplayed by 2 other guards.

Just popping in to tip the hat to Steph as he breaks the record on his way to making it untouchable. They had a Stat where he has 22 10+ 3pt games. The second person has 3. :lol

Yea, Steph is by far the best shooter we've seen so far in the NBA. He's always fun to watch.

I wouldn't bet on that record being untouchable though. The way the game has evolved, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these young players starts racking up 3s and surpasses Curry. Heck, James Harden will probably pass pass Ray Allen by the end of next season as well.

I'm not sure how much this will help either of the teams on the court, but at least it removes some of the off court distractions. It will be interesting to see how Simmons adapts to playing with two ball handlers being that he needs the ball himself and can't shoot to save his life.
Harden seems like a good fit in Philly, he can give Embid space while also providing a great second scoring option. We'll have to wait and see if Joel is OK with Harden slacking on the defensive end.

Maybe it is just me, Harden doesn't seem to play well with other superstars- Dwight Howard, Chris Paul, Westbrook etc. Harden played with Dwight Howard while he was in his prime... so we will see how to play in Philly.

Is there a bigger ass in the league than Kyrie Irving?  That jack ass can't go without spouting digs at Boston every time he plays them.  There is reasons you get booed Kyrie and it's all on you.  Thankfully you are not a Celtic anymore and are someone else's problem.

I watched the 4Q of the Raps/Nuggets game last night.  Coming off of a B2B (victory no less) from Phoenix, and down 6 playing brutal defence heading into the fourth (Nuggets had 99 at the the end of 4) then holding them to 16 points in the 4th .... all with no VanVleet or OG, and Pascal sat for the first 8 minutes of the quarter (having already amassed 33 points in the first 3).

I hope this team is finally starting to put things together ... they just need a little consistency.

Not an excuse, but a factor.....no Aaron Gordon for the Nuggets. He is their best defender and they miss his toughness. NOT going to factor in no MPJ and Jamal Murray because they haven't been playing at all....though it does make their 40-28 record so far all the more impressive without two of their best players.

And they were riding Jokic like a Grand Canyon mule for the past several games....I think he just wore down.

That said, yes....Siakam had a huge game. He is a force, and always gives the Nuggets fits. Also, is their a better rookie than Scottie Barnes? And they did tighten the screws on defense. Esp. impressive on a back to back at altitude in Denver.

AND considering they played the Suns (and beat them) the night before.  Easy for a team to crash after a high like that.

What's funny is that this disaster of a season is probably good for his overall resume, as it is getting him closer to the overall scoring record, and with the Lakers being a likely quick out if they even make it to the play-in, he won't have another one of those pesky finals losses on his record, and if the fans of Michael Jordan have taught us anything, it's that losing early in the playoffs is better than losing later in the playoffs.

Wow....went to the Nuggets/Celtics game in Denver last night. Good seats. Sellout. Lots of energy in the arena, but it did not translate to the home team. And, in fact....it was more like a home game for the Celtics!

Tatum and Brown are such a dangerous tandem. They are both playing with so much confidence right now.....almost unstoppable. Celtics D smothered Jokic and frustrated him all night. He was clearly flustered.....worst game by him in a couple of years.

The outcome was bad enough, but the effort? Jokic definitely playing hard, but was forcing the ball. And the team was (predictably) forcing it to him (Philly having similar issues with Embiid last night). Aaron Gordon always plays hard. Jermichael Green was playing his ass off too. But everyone else was seemingly AWOL. Made all the more disappointing by the fact the Nuggets blew a big lead against Cleveland in their last game....and I expected 100% from everyone. Malone actually put out the second team at the start of the 3rd. That's pretty bad!  :huh:

after how long, the Timberwolves may actually be relevant?

although it seems it will largely come down to how good their defense is, in The Playoffs. Which their coach may be the 1 factor that helps that.

I actually thought that the C's showed gumption by almost wining the game without 4 starters and their 2 all starts.

To make it even better, the team that passed them in the standings, New Orleans, now receives the Lakers 1st round pick in the next draft due to a previous trade.

This season for the Lakers was pretty rough. I suspect we will see Westbrook out during the off season.
