    You would think so, Tatum is shooting 1-14, but Smart has made up for it with 20 points, and Harden only has 13. Tied 79-79 with 7:10 to go.

    He can probably play on it if they absolutely need him (which they do), but he will be limited in what he can do on the court. Sucks for them, obviously, but it works for us because they lose defense and size. He averages 17/6/3 so far against us, and those are not insignificant numbers.

    He'll most definitely play as long as he's OK with it. Portland's medical staff approved Payton Jr playing, while the Warriors almost nixed that trade, because their medical staff said the guy needed surgery. Then there is KD..." he can't hurt that Achilles any worse" lol..he lasted 1 quarter proving that wrong. Or Kawhi..the Spurs said it was a pain tolerance thing, and he could have played, there was something obviously wrong with that dude.
    Fans love that " Kobe mentality " though. Hey coach, I have a separated shoulder, bump that...put me back in!!

    The quality of basketball in bos and philly is awful vs Lakers and GS. I mean night and day in terms.of play calling and purpose in how they approach getting buckets and exposing defensive weaknesses

    Boston have a better roster than last year, yet don't look as solid as last year, must be the coaching

    Yeah Denver is moving on, up 30 at the half, Suns flame out exactly like last year. Shouldn’t have traded depth for old man Durant, depth > 3 star model.

    Model of consistency


    KCP has outplayed the big 2 for Phoenix.

    1...2...3...Cancun.

    I assume Phoenix is going to try to trade Ayton for depth in the summer, but I just don't see CP3 being a great fit with KD and Booker at this point in his career. In fact you can say Booker has played better without CP3 and opting for a quicker tempo.
