Wow he might never play again. Shaun Livingston basically got his leg ripped off by a grizzly bear and he's contributed to championship teams. Hayward will be back.

I was looking forward to watching that goliath of a team this season.

Donovan Mitchell had it going on last night. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, be sure to watch the dunk at 1:40, but it's all good shit.

I'm pleasantly surprised that Detroit is 5-2 with wins over The Clippers and Golden State this weekend

I'm pleasantly surprised that Detroit is 5-2 with wins over The Clippers and Golden State this weekend Beating those two teams on the road on back-to-back nights is a tough feat for any team. Surprised the Pistons had it in them.

It seems like Bradley has brought a lot of leadership to that team. Plus, Drummond playing harder on D and actually making his free throws helps a lot too.

Hornets are looking super good, imo, considering MKG and Batum are not back yet. 3-4 seed.

Hornets are looking super good, imo, considering MKG and Batum are not back yet. 3-4 seed. You're the most awesome homer and I love it. I have to admit I'm surprised at how well the Hornets have played so far, but 3-4 seed? They're still in that middle tier of the East and they'll struggle to even get to the 8 seed. Even if Howard can manage to stay healthy, there's no chance he keeps this up for 82 games. Here's how I ranked the East playoff teams before the season, and I haven't really seen anything that's changed my opinion so far: 1. Wizards 2. Cavs 3. Raptors 4. Bucks 5. Heat 6. Celtics 7. Pacers 8. 76ers If the Hornets are a top 4 seed, who are you bumping out? If anything, I'd put the Pistons in there before the Hornets at this point.

It's a long season but we are better then at least half of those teams in the east rn. Drummond hitting his free throws at a % like this gets at least 5 more wins then last year.

Yeah, that's what I meant when I said I could see Detroit getting into the playoffs before Charlotte. Drummond's shooting has been one of the more surprising developments this season. Nice to see Stanley Johnson finally showing some promise as well. I worry a little about their depth, but I'm definitely more on board if they're able to pull off the rumored Jackson/Bledsoe swap. Supposedly one trade that was close to happening was: Detroit gets: Eric Bledsoe New Orleans gets: Reggie Jackson Phoenix gets: NO's 2018 First Rounder, DET's 2019 First Rounder, Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca Not sure which team ultimately backed out, but it seems to make sense for all sides. It sounds like a third team is necessary to make the deal work, since Phoenix doesn't want Jackson's contract.

You think the Heat, Sixers or Pacers have the same kind of depth as the Hornets? You checked out our rookies by chance? They're currently 6th place at 5-4 with two rookies getting significant minutes and MKG and Batum out. They've beaten the Bucks and the Grizzlies. Scored 126 on the Bucks even. Sure, Dwight could wear down, but he's an absolute monster right now. You funny.

Sure, Dwight could wear down, but he's an absolute monster right now. You funny. Miami is one of the deepest teams in the league and Philly is sneaky deep, especially now that Holmes is back. I'd say Indiana's bench is on par with Charlotte, but I was surprised at how well they played without Turner. I understand your point about Batum and MKG, but Indiana and Miami have both played significant chunks of this season without their best players (Turner missed 7 games, Whiteside missed 5), so it's not like the Hornets are on their own in terms of injuries. Also, for the record, the Wolves aren't really "my team." Honestly, it's been hard for me to watch them because of how badly they're misusing Jimmy. Dude only got 6 shots up last night. Really? Utah is my favorite team for a multitude of reasons, and I'd probably say that Portland is my second favorite right now, but mostly because I live here now and the passion for the Blazers is pretty infectious here. Dame and CJ are are really fun, but I'm smart enough to know they'll never be better than mediocre as they're currently constructed, unlike most Blazers fans who perennially think they're on the cusp of competing for a title.

Porzingis has been amazing. The Knicks would really be onto something if they didn't have so much money tied up in those centers.

I totally forgot about Joakim Noah. He's activated soon, right?
Yeesh.

The Knicks would really be onto something if they didn't have so much money tied up in those centers. kanter has been incredible. they really like hernangomez. o'quinn has been good but likely will be the odd man out, although hernangomez is more valuable on the trade market. as for noah, my guess is they stretch his contract and let him walk.

Bulls are apparently in the running for Okafor. They're not planning on playing defense anymore, I guess.

I could totally see Monroe accepting a buyout from the Suns so he can sign with a better team. The Celtics make a lot of sense and have that $8 million insurance exception from the Hayward injury to offer. Phoenix has way too many bigs now anyway.
But yeah, good trade for Milwaukee. Basically trading a pick in the 20s and an expiring contract for a starting point guard. They're putting a TON of faith into Maker and Henson for the rest of this year though.

East is wide open though with the Heyward injury and the Cav's Cleveland-ing it so far. Makes sense for them to try and go all in, and it's not like they gave up a ton to get him.

So I know I'm a fledgling basketball fan, but can someone explain to me why Fred Hoiberg still has a job?
I'm watching the Bulls get blown out by the Raptors right now and, hoo boy, they don't look good!

Holberg's job has never seemed safer. The bulls are over performing with almost nobody on the bench (or in the starting 5). The Raptors are one of the best teams in basketball.
