Wiggins has all the talent in the world but he drifts...

Denver/Golden state is fun!

Have you noticed ESPN has been going on and on and on about how Denver is the hottest team in the NBA and is the best starting five in the NBA since the Gordon trade and going on about how great he is...no mention at all about how we beat them like an old drum yesterday. We get no respect!! 

Jason Benetti finally mentions that we beat them yesterday, in passing, like he’s mentioning the weather. Lol

Gosh, I love watching the Jazz.

They're playing Washington and I want to also add; I want Bradley Beal on the Cetlics.

Any chance of that happening? At all?

Yup yup. Still a believer of league franchise favouritism here. It is what it is though. Just hope we fall into favour again soon.

.edit: I realise that makes me look like a crazy conspiracy theorist. it is what it is

Yeah, and why didn't Gordon dominate a team with no "power forward"? Tatum is a power forward 10rbs and 28 points over 7 pts 7 rbs for Gordon.

I’d put it at about 10%.  It doesn’t seem like he wants to leave the Wizards, and the Wizards want him to stay.  But he also seems like a player, if not THE player, whom the Celtics will pursue this summer for a trade.

Welp, got to start with Jaylen Brown for any trade with Beal to Boston.

It definitely does. It's a really tricky one to approach. Beal is a significantly better scorer, is a better passer, and is much much better at both getting to the free throw line and then making them. Brown is the better defender and rebounder, is a more efficient three point shooter (on less attempts), is younger, cheaper and contracted for a year longer. It'd be a huge gamble.

Really when refs stop fast break on 24 second violation when they already got the ball. Just slows down a game that's better faster.

Also you have to dump Kemba and let Beal run the point. Kemba and Brown for Beal and Westbrook works in trade machine. Westbrook and Smart on the same team would be nuts! Beal, Westbrook, Smart Tatum, TIMELORD is a crazy lineup! HUGE risk! It's a huge cut.

Cool to see Steph pass Wilt as the Warriors all time leading scorer tonight.

It made me curious to look up games played. Wilt played 429 as a Warrior, Steph is playing his 745th. Crazy!
