Atlanta 39-8 with 18-game winning streak. Who'd a thunk it.

Cavs looking good at the 5th seed but after that the east takes a huge dump. Charlotte currently 8th seed at 19-27 SMH.

Cavs will finish higher than the 5th seed don't you think?

Good for them, and they look good, but they also seem far from invincible.

They won't catch Atlanta but they are a lock for the 2 seed.

Yeah, definitely. I wasn't trying to say they wouldn't. Just that after a rocky first half of the season there right back in the thick of it - less than five games behind Toronto like Midstate said.

If by that you mean we're the best team in the East, agreed.

The hawks won't beat the Cavs in a 7 game series. Book it.

Knicks and Lakers are so bad that abc/ESPN dropped the telecast today and they're showing bowling.

LOL. 7-10 splits are more exciting and worthwhile than those two shit teams. Most exciting part of that game would be watching Phil Jackson sleeping in his box, assuming he bothers to attend.

+2. Wiggins has been really good but, as sleeper said, on a garbage team. I don't see him putting up similar numbers with the Cavs....just like many expected Love's numbers to decline a bit teaming up with Kyrie & Lebron.
Isnt this what Love did for years? Horrible team, great numbers and the Cavs trades for him. It's not unrealistic to think Wiggins might fit the team better. At this point, the Cavs are as good as hey could've hoped (post trades), so I don't really think it matters. But just because Wiggins wouldn't put up the same numbers doesn't mean he wouldn't have helped the Cavs more than Love. For this team, athletic wing > finesse big until recently.

The main argument for the trade was that it was going to take Wiggins a few years to be a star and may never be an AS. He clearly isn't there yet, but I'd be willing to bet he is further ahead of everyone's expectations at this point.

I'll take Love's 17 & 10 any day over Wiggins 15 & 4. Even though Love hasn't shot well, teams still respect his outside shot, which opens things up for LBJ and Kyrie to get into the lane.

It was against the Wolves so I'm not sure it really counts, but Whiteside went 24 and 20 on 12/13 shooting tonight.

Hell of a find, and the rare example of an immature young person working out. Every pundit will mention him from now on with the high risk character guys when talking about guys like Josh Gordon.

Curry just put the finishing touches on a 51 point night on 10 3's. Really fun game to watch between GSW-DAL

Watched the 2nd half and curry was incredible. Tyson Chandler also stood out to me, he was beast on the boards.

I got to dinner and the game was on, it was like 18-2. Then 46-24 or something. The end of the half and 3rd quarter was incredible to watch as Curry just couldn't be stopped.

Late night western conference games that end before 11 is definitely one of the perks of living out west. Especially in a season like this where this is at least one marquee matchup pretty much every night.

I considered staying up to watch the inevitable comeback when it was 24-4, but decided against it. Never thought they'd end up winning that easily, though.

I had golden state -8.5 on the back end of a parlay so when it was a 20 point lead I went to bed. Woke up to some cash
