Houston starting to run away with this game! The 2nd seed is in reach, boys!

Could be a very good day for the C's, but Houston-Toronto is not over by a longshot.  6 point lead with more than  5 minutes left.

Looks over now.   Go C's on Tuesday!

Kings up big on GS in the 2nd quarter. If they somehow hold on and pull this off, it would be huge for their hopes of keeping Cousins and aiming for a playoff spot.

The Spurs and Rockets are BOTH just within 2 games back of Golden State for the #1 seed.

Come playoff time.. their lack of bench depth and size should cost them honestly.

Even with their "BIG 4 Superteam"... fatigue and injuries could play a part.

Or maybe this is just what I hope happens and the Warriors will just steamroll through the playoffs.

Didn't Red once say it takes 8 guys to win a championship? GS has only 4, so they certainly have weaknesses.

Between their lack of size and their tendency to turn the ball over (and our tendency to increase turnovers and capitalize on them), if we could get Cousins we'd be the Warriors' kryptonite. They really don't have any answer to Cousins at all when he's in the post either, and our perimeter D and transition game would punish them for their turnovers and make it difficult for them to score beyond the arc.

Right now it doesn't matter, because the Kings are hitting everything with the Warriors missing everything. But they should be running the ball through Cousins in the post every single possession, and he can either iso them for a score or pass off once the double-team comes.

It's amazing that Joerger wasn't forcing that issue. Once they stop hitting everything and the Warriors heat up, then it's game over for the Kings.

I'd say Iggy, Zaza, and Livingston are a fine 5-7.

Suns are making a game of it vs. Cleveland.  Down 3 headed to the 4th.  Don't expect they'll pull it off, but crazier things have happened.

Well it's a 4 point Cleveland lead. Suns keeping it close still.

Suns couldn't pull it off, but I don't think playing LeBron and Kyrie 40 minutes vs Phoenix was how the Cavs wanted to start their West Coast trip.

Livingston is still killing it but Iggy is pretty clearly on the decline and Zaza's shot blocking and efficiency is far less than they got from Bogut.

Zaza, Iggy, Livington, Clark, West is a fine supporting cast when your top 4 are that good.

Who do we want to win the Dallas vs Phoenix game? This is a tough choice!

im answering late but i would have preferred the mavs winning this game.

IMO dallas wont be tempted to tank unless left with no other choice.

Through 1 quarter, Butler has 1 point, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in 12 minutes.

Bulls down 31-20 to the Thunder.
