Then there's Kuzma, who apparently vetoed a trade to the Mavericks at the deadline.

No offense to Hewson and Phanan, but the only thing I want from the rest of the season is someone to beat the Celtics. I think the Wolves are best equipped to do that. I still see them getting past the Mavericks, but after game 1, my confidence isn't as high.

Apparently the Cavs will accept Austin Reaves and a second round pick for him.

Fewer than 24 hours and the Donovan to the Lakers bullshit has already started.

If Boston gets out of the East, their three-point situation is going to get a hell of a lot tougher against Minnesota or OKC, who both have multiple long, talented wing defenders. Open looks are going to be very difficult to find. I'd pick either of those West teams over Boston.

This is the Knicks' MO right? Like how they always make a big deal about C-list celebrities like Pete Davidson and Fat Joe being in attendance.

This has to be the end of the Clippers as presently constructed. I don't think Paul George will re-sign. Watch for him to go to Philadelphia - they can sign him to the max that LA apparently is hesitant to give.

With Allen out, I'm not surprised about the rebounding. The turnovers are a different story. Garland's eight-second violation during the final few minutes was completely inexcusable.

I've loved that the games are on NBA TV - saved me $80 in a Youtube TV subscription.

I don't think many people are watching this Cavs-Magic series, but Paolo Banchero has arrived. That guy is a hell of a player. Deadly mid-range game.

Denver should be worried about Minnesota regardless of Murray's status.

Also pulling for the Clippers, only because Luka stans are the most obnoxious people in NBA fandom.

Now that my Cavs are staring at a first-round exit again, I'm really pulling for the Knicks. A hard-nosed team that plays without ego and never gets intimidated. Signing Brunson instead of trading half their assets for Mitchell is already one of the smartest moves in recent NBA history. Brunson...

I just learned today that the leader of the band is formerly of the post-punk group Women, who were awesome in their own right.

I'll say it again: New York is the biggest threat to Boston in the East. They can knock Tatum and Porzingis around enough to throw Boston off their three point game, and they've got a flair for winning late-game 50/50 situations.
