IMO the East is a two-team race between Milwaukee and Boston. Nets are volatile; Sixers are surging because their schedule has been ridiculously easy; Cavs are a wing and a year away.

yea it's going to be a crap shoot in the east - and you certainly can't sleep on philly, who is certainly capable of beating any of these teams and getting to the finals themselves.
and oh, by the way, here comes miami creeping up the standings after a horrible start.
the knicks have this really weird thing where they have one of the best road records in the NBA but are under .500 at home.
playoffs are gonna be crazy

The Sixers have the most difficult schedule remaining in the NBA, and in particular the last six weeks or so feature a ton of tough games and back-to-backs. We were all furious when the schedule was announced at how imbalanced it was to have them exhausting themselves heading into the playoffs. How they fare down the stretch is both critical to their playoff seeding and to how tough they will be perceived as an opponent come playoff time.
i'm at work and yet here i am talking lakers.
scouting report for our drive by fair weather laker fan

*Editor's note: Troll intentionally neglects to mention that said "best team" is missing its best player (and one of the league's best) Ja Morant as well as its center Steven Adams.

Yeah him not getting t'ed up was probably more blatant than Tatum not getting called for hitting his forearm.

My fiancé and I are taking dance lessons for our upcoming wedding, and I asked our instructor to incorporate LeBron James reaction to the non-foul as part of our routine.

Yeah and all she has to do is foul me. I do the rest.
make sure you have your most annoying cousin steal the wedding photographer's camera to show the DJ where you were fouled.
Wizards are 4-0 since trading Rui.
Lakers are 1-3.
Thanks for ruining our chances of getting Wemby, Lakers. Buncha dicks.

Edwards: 24.9 PPG 6.1 RPG 4.6 APG 1.7 Steals 0.6 Blocks
Jackson: 16.5 PPG 6.7 RPG 0.9 APG 1.0 Steals 3.3 Blocks
So what the NBA is telling you is blocks are the most vital part of the game by a wide margin

only player with stat averages that high in NBA HISTORY not to get selected to the all-star game.
he'd be in the all-star game easily if some jabroni in dallas had actually properly done their job mopping up the court.

Siakam deserves to be there - but there isn't the one or two people on the east roster (at least from the coach picked bench and not the fan driven starters) - who has no business being on the team. i can deal with snubs when there's no clear cut guy who should be out.
but to put two people on the west roster who've missed a third of the season is just absurd.
end of the day there's still two weeks until the game and Siakam and Edwards will both likely be replacements for the inevitable all star drop. and who knows... siakam could end up being a replacement player for the WEST after February 9...
jackson is having a great year and PG is a great player - but the NBA needs to stop rewarding players who miss so much time. i get the starters... zion, kyrie... it's the fan vote (and largely from China) - but the bench players are picked by the coaches - and that's just ridiculous.
NBA needs to address this in the next CBA... not that the all star game means anything - but in general... there should be a minimum games played to be eligible to win any award - be it an unimportant issue like the all star game or the things that really matter like all nba teams, mvp, etc.
oh - and stop counting per game averages. the scoring leader is the person who scores the most points.
and shorten regular season overtime to 2 minutes.
this concludes my ted talk.

And he might go to the Lakers!!!
a KD & Russ reunion is exactly the kind of spicy drama this NBA season needs.
side note - a KD and Russ reunion was the most awkward Streets intro U2 have ever done.
