And Tony Allen and Pondexter too. Hard to lose three rotation players and be ok.

Losing Allen hurts but their season was pretty much derailed by the time he got hurt. They should send him to Portland.

It looks like it might be time for the Pistons to blow the whole thing up. I want to see Monroe go to a better situation than the mess in Detroit.

Yeah you'd have to figure he will be moved.

I think he has that kind of talent and has not been the same since the borderline gruesome shot he took in the playoffs last year. Pretty rough for NBA standards. Bringing in AI, they had to know it would stunt his growth. Maybe they move him.

It's almost not fair what KD is doing right now...he's pretty much unstoppable.

KD is great right now. If Westbrook is fully healthy, they are the favorites to win the West.

[cmorioles]

The Thunder played like a team coming off a 3 game road trip, and playing the 8th game in 12 days, and yet KD was just too damn good to let them lose. I even think they were looking ahead to Miami as well.

Not only is he scoring at an incredible pace, he is threatening back to back 50/40/90 seasons. FT% needs to come up from 88.3.

Played a sizable reverse tonight. Knicks moneyline & GS moneyline. Also played a lesser reverse, GS moneyline & over 207.5

I hope you win, but how could you trust the Knicks moneyline especially laying. I can see taking a dog moneyline.
As for Golden St, they are about to go on another good run. Good call there.
If I was forced to play a game tonight I would take Houston moneyline plus 120. I would also take Clevland minus 2.5 minus basic 110, I would play them both straight w/ Houston being the larger play.

Nice call on the Knicks I hope you cash this thing.

Kind of hilarious watching the Rockets miss all these hack-a-xxx free throws.

Still about to pull out a good win without there best player.
Big game tomorrow night, who you got? Miami is minus 4. I think Lebron and Miami make a big statement. Lebron especially has done a lot of talking latley. About a week ago he said to watch him vs Washington and promised to go off. He did not do much and they lost as a 10 point favorite. Then he talks about how KD gets more shots then him, then today I read he is requesting a sit down with the new NBA commissioner. And back too a few weeks ago, he was saying how Wades knees are a big issue. Felt to me like a built in excuse. I know its a regular season, but I feel like its a big game for Miami.

So you think Wade is faking?

It was a good win for the Rockets without Harden, but the Spurs are not near the same team without Kawhi Leonard.

[Cannon Shell]

So I was watching some college games tonight.

McDermott from Creighton can shoot. He will be an effective player with the right team.
Calipari's teams always look poorly coached. Poor defensive fundamentals and not a whole lot of effort.

Ginobelli got hurt relatively early and didnt return as well

I didn't see that, that obviously hurt them big time too. They stayed relatively injury free for most of the first half, which is pretty good for an older team. Now all of a sudden they seem to be getting hit with a ton of injuries. Splitter and Green should be back fairly soon so that will help a little.

Where did I say that CHuckles?
I think Wade is the 3rd best 2 guard of all time.
I also think he could have gone to Europe and had a Kobe style procedure on his knees two summers ago. The thing is this, the Wade of even last years playoffs is still a top 3 2 guard in the NBA right now. But how often do we get that Wade? If he is milking it now and will be fine for the playoffs Im good with that. But recent Lebron comments makes me wonder if he is not more injured then even teamates believed. I would rate the 2's like this. And Im talking right now today. Harden, Wade, Kobe. Thats assuming Curry and Westbrook are 1's, even though they are the definition of combo guards.

Looked like a hamstring. Still a ways to go before the playoffs for them to get healthy
