The Spurs are still undefeated at home right. Impressive along with Golden State in that regard.

Wonder which team loses at home first. Either way this is going to be 1-2 WCF most likely but KD and Westbrook can have something to say about that.

My guess is the Spurs will. I think the Thunder have the best shot of beating them at home. They've generally been overlooked this season, and I have a feeling Westbrook will go at Curry and put him in foul trouble. That's really the only way you can neutralize him.

Thompson will be on Westbrook.

I sort of agree with one commentator I heard after the Warriors-Spurs game - really the only thing a team can hope is that Curry isn't making shots he normally makes.

I still say the key is to get him to play defense. When the Bucks played the Warriors the first time they were able to get Curry into foul trouble and limit the time he was on the floor. Him or Thompson, one of the two you need to get physical with.

Celtics win again, making it 4 straight, and putting them 5 games above 0.500. Now time for the wheels to come off ;-) :-\

Anyway, hopefully they can keep themselves above 0.500 for a little while at least. For the meantime, I have hope that the Celtics could still make the playoffs at the end of the regular season (but that's more to do with the rest of the bottom half of the East kind of sputtering right now).

So was listening to Zach Lowe podcast about Blake Griffin trade scenarios.

Would Doc actually trade Blake Griffin over an aging PG in CP3 and a terrible offensive player in DeAndre Jordan?

He mentions the Celtics as a possible suitor for obvious reasons and Raptors as well if they unload their treasure chest of picks.

So Griffin and Boogie Cousins could possibly be on the move to an Eastern Conference team.

Exciting possibilities in indeed.

With a trade for a scoring wing or a Center Celtics are easily a 5 seed at minimal. Might be even with their team of meh players.

The timberwolves will become a really good team within the next couple of years
Wiggins, kat, lavine, and muhammad have been playing great

How likely are they to pull such a trade? I'm not getting my hopes up too much as I was hoping for Cousins last year and that obviously never happened. If nothing else, I'm sure they'll make some moves in the off-season. Besides, they've at least got some promise of improving the roster with those draft picks from the Nets. :)

I really think Simmons can be a player that makes a world of difference for the Spurs playing teams like Golden State or Oklahoma City. Hope he continues to develop this season. Like to see him in a small lineup with Diaw, Leonard, Green and Ginobli.

Really love the energy he brings every time he's on the court. He was on curry like crazy when they played (obviously not to much avail) but it was still nice to see. I'd have him focus on curry and get kawhi on thompson/green.

Well they have 3 picks and have Rozier, Hunter, Young and Mickey not playing a lick. Unless they want to just build a D- League roster of picks something has to give..

This team is so confusing. I'm not entirely off the tank bandwagon even with Stevens just being all around a boss and the guards playing very very well. I've been tricked before.

Dwane Casey got robbed of that all star coaching spot.

All star game in T-Dot too.

I ain't his biggest supporter, dude has been doing a good job.

So Walton doesn't get to coach but Lue does. Weird

its bewildering how, if curry is not hitting his batshit insane shots, golden state looks like an above average team at best. he really is the best player in the league/MVP.

Shaq to get a statue in front of Staples Center soon. Fred Roggin joking around saying he should have him in a screaming and raising his arms style

Hope Isaiah gets announced as a reserve tonight. He has earned it. Seriously, what's the downside of expanding ASG rosters to 15? Everyone's there anyways, it seems.

They should also do a new contest at the ASG of trying to get the ball up court against Avery Bradley. Damn he was good last night.

After watching Danilo G play yesterday, I think he'd be a really nice, realistic fit for the Celts at the deadline.

Following is a statement from Lakers President and co-owner Jeanie Buss regarding the announcement that Shaquille O'Neal will be honored with a statue at STAPLES Center. The statue will be unveiled on a date yet to be determined during the 2016-17 season:

Aldridge made the all-star team? Ok..dude isn't averaging what he once was but still winning.

Lillard should have made it.

Steph Curry good thing is that you can back up whatever you say. I hope you are wrong in one of those cases. Go Broncos!

Isaiah! Really freaking happy for him.

Seems like they did a good job with the reserves.

Also that Shaq statue mockup is fucking awesome.

So apparently Lakers make D'Angelo Russell available on the trade market.

If I were the Sixers I would honestly offer the Lakers pick back to them for him, but I doubt theyd accept it

He's going to be a little slower to develop, but he's shown he's good enough to play in the league
