Wow Raptors losing 56-37 to the Bulls.

Have to admit, Cleveland's little slump was surprising, but not as surprising as what's happened to Toronto the last 3 weeks...
Not that it takes away from your overall point but for some reason Chicago does really well vs. Toronto (according to my Bulls fan friends)

Cavs is ahead the Wolves, but the game is close.

I think it's about time to start naming the Nuggets when we talk about teams with promising young cores. Jokic, Murray, Hernangomez, Harris, Barton. Even with his struggles, I think Mudiay warrants a mention, too.

They have a nice little foundation there.

Still a ton of cap space too.. not sure which FAs would want to go there though. Would Griffin be tempted by that youngish core?

Raptors catching up. Now only down 8 (88-80 with 6 minutes to go).

Cavaliers up 105-102 on TWolves. They noticeably don't look dominant these days..

Wolves just doesn't know how to close out games.

Raptors lost, Cleveland struggled pretty heavily to beat the Wolves. I think teams are going to start seeing how vulnerable CLE is right now.

If the Lakers beat the Kings tonight, that's a win win for us.

LeBron playing 40 plus minutes ?

I think the Raptors are unraveling. On court they look like they are loosing their collective minds

Lakers with the most blatant tank move that I ever seen. Down 1, 5 secs left; Luke decides not to call a TO in favor of a 3 point heave by Lou with 3 people guarding him

I still don't get the Korver trade !
Made Cavs so much better for little return in return.

The competition for the 8th seed in the West is IMO the highlight of the remaining of the season.

Notice that both trades so far include teams competing for that 8th spot.

Which team do you think will make it?

I cannot wait for the impending Sacramento implosion. I think there is a chance for them to drop a -10 net rating in their remaining games. They're going to be a mess. Especially with them dealing the rest of their vets.

Interested to see how this Boogie/AD pairing works out. If they buy in, they could be an elite and dominant pairing. I think people are sleeping on how good this pairing could be.

Danny and Brad are going to look extremely foolish for passing up on Boogie.

Watching Anthony Davis chase Trevor Arzia around the perimeter ...

One of the top shot blockers and interior help defenders in the league. Wasting his skills out on the perimeter defending the 3 point line. What a waste.
