Morris must be regretting his decision to sign with the Knicks. They are so bad he picks up a fight every game.

He did it for the cash and he's getting that.

I thought San Antonio offered him more years and more money.

He's only making 5 mil over a 1 year in NYK.

For some reason, I'm thinking he was offered a 2 year/14 mil deal in SA.

I thought he got some monster 1 year deal from the Knicks...

It's 15 million for one year.

He’s making $15 million, not $5 million.

Bucks are absolutely annihilating the Clippers (with Kawhi and PG).  Connaughton is +43 in just 18 minutes with about 6 minutes left.
2023 Historical Draft - Brooklyn Nets - 9th pick

Bigs - Pau, Amar'e, Issel, McGinnis, Roundfield
Wings - Dantley, Bowen, J. Jackson
Guards - Cheeks, Petrovic, Buse, Rip

I would very much like the C's to get the 2 or 3 seed to avoid that team as long as possible.

Clippers will fall to 3-6 on the road.  They are 13-1 at home.  Pretty similar splits to the Sixers, who are also pretty bad on the road at 5-7 (they are 10-0 at home).

Due to Milwaukee's brutalization of the Clippers, Celtics are now 4th in net rating. Behind the Bucks who are outscoring opponents by margins similar to the 2014-15 Warriors, the Lakers and the Mavericks.

yep, spurs were giving 2/20 instead he got 1/15 from NYK.
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

Celtics are now 3rd in winning percentage in the league and have wins over Dallas, Denver, Miami, Toronto....all teams right behind them in the winning percentage standings. And they have a win over the league's best team, the Bucks.

And on pace to win 60 games.

So Philly is 10-0 at home, and Boston and Miami are both 9-0.  Not to jinx them but the next home games should be easy for Boston (CLE) and Miami (CHI).  Have 3 teams ever started 10-0 at home before in the same season?

The only place i know to check historical standings is bball-ref, but they only show basic standings and don't break out home/away/division/conference.

Seems like something that could be kind of rare, but maybe not.  If it is, I'm sure we'll start hearing about it soon.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

The last test is beating a good team on the road. All  those wins were at home. They are 7-5 on the road and all seven wins were against teams currently below .500.

The next three weeks they have Ind, Dal and Tor on the road the 11th, 18th and 25th. Those will be good tests.

So the Bucks are on a 14 game win streak huh? Yeah, I'm not buying that this season. I don't care how good they look in the regular season. Unless Giannis shows that he can't be game planned against I think the C's can beat them. People are still sleeping on this C's team, and I like it.  :D

The Bucks were the best team in the league last year as well.  Not sure why you wouldn't buy them as the best team in the league.  And this game planning against Giannis just isn't reality.  Yes, Kawhi did an excellent job on him, but the Bucks lost that series because their other guys stopped hitting shots which they had been hitting all season long.

They remind me of those LeBron led Cavs teams a decade ago. No I wouldn’t trust their role players to step up when Giannis starts getting surrounded in the paint.
