What is up with the Hawks?

They whoop our arses here at the Gah-den with a Howard missing a big chunk of that game, and they are getting destroyed by the Cavs at home.

Caves have their number so bad. They look like scared little kids.

I am worried more about the Wiz and Hawks than I am the Raps.

Clippers down 19 to Bucks in Milwaukee.

Blake has to see the writing on the wall this summer. This team just isn't championship caliber.

They could be as low as 6th tonight in the West if they lose and Memphis beats Dallas, which would put them up against the Rockets in the first round. That's not something that they want, but a first round loss would make Griffin leaving LA a lot more likely.
Recovering Joe Skeptic, but inching towards a relapse.

CP3 verbally committed to re-signing with the Clippers. I wonder if he already talked to Blake about staying long term. Why would he commit if Blake is unsure of staying?

I honestly never trust reports that come out of LA, even from reputable sources. You never know how accurate these things are, or if they're being pushed to serve another agenda.

That being said, when those reports came out they were playing much better and were in a much better position than they are now.

Who knows what happens if they lose in the first round, which could very well happen even if they make it to the 4th seed. It also depends upon what Paul is wanting, too - long-term financial security or to win a chip.

Question is ......has Blake pretty much gave up on basketball as a living and love .  I got the feeling he has succumbed to the Hollywood TV money and life ,  like CP3 as well.   It maybe that the big TV money they have become addicted too.  I don't think he'll go anywhere but CA , NY , FL  maybe the Spurs .

CP3 got the CBA to allow him to sign for 5 years instead of 3 this offseason -- he's always intended to take advantage of it.

You know, I've never been the biggest Nerlens Noel fan, but he sure looks like a legit good player now that he is free from the mess that is the Sixers.

Ainge totally blew it there. Could have had him for peanuts.

Good. I hope Lue keeps playing LeBron & Kyrie maximum minutes because he is not a good coach and is more concerned about the 1 seed than actually resting guys to be playoffs ready. Lue is just a bad coach in a great situation.

I admit I wanted Noel at the deadline. However, I get the feeling he will never be much better than he is now, and I'm not sure Zizic won't eventually surpass him.

State Farm commercials - definitely.

Blake may or may not stay, but if he sticks around he can't possibly think that the Clips have any chance of winning a championship.

I love me some CP3, but he is now officially on the downside of the hill.

Boston Celtics Advanced States since February 1st.

http://stats.nba.com/teams/advanced/#!?sort=PACE&dir=-1&Season=2016-17&SeasonType=Regular%20Season&DateFrom=02%2F01%2F2017

Offense has dropped off a bit, but defense and rebounding is better now.
