What the hell. That had to leave a mark if he hit him hard enough to break his hand. I wonder if we'll ever know what they were fighting about?

My guess is the equipment manager will be paid off royally.

For the little that I heard WKNR(850 Cleveland) today, they were talking about the interest from the fans perspective on a Love for Blake trade.

The NBA radio guys on S/XM were saying most of the Clippers failures fall on the leadership of Chris Paul and that one of them needs to go Blake or CP3.

Blake might be a good comparison to Love....move Blake's long 2's to spot up 3's and I bet he struggles and loses his offensive game. If the Cavs are going to continue what they do....I'd far rather have Redick.

Anyone else get the feeling the Warriors could flame out in the post season from exerting all their energy trying to chase the Bulls record? I just got a feeling they are going to have an off series and get knocked out come May/June

They may have an off series and we'll know more come mid March....but I'd don't see any signs of tiring out. Possibly peaking too early? They are legit and confident, loose and cocky....they are going to be a tough ass out. Someone will bust on Curry and test him (how can you not?)

Livingston and AI always are amazing when I watch and always seem to be the difference if Curry is just a pedestrian 25 points

I don't see it. The Warriors are so deep they don't really pound the minutes on anyone but curry and Thompson and they're so young.

Curry is their top Minutes guy. I'd bet he ain't even in the top 30 in the NBA.

Hell no.

Just makes the random games more fun to pay attention to.

These. If they lose in the playoffs, it won't be because of fatigue.

It's going to take an Orlando Magic series against the Cavs to beat the Warriors this year. The only other way is for the injury bug to hit them which they are long overdue for.

Currently, I don't believe the Cavs can beat the Warriors in a 7 game series.

Don't remember if I've brought up the Vertical Podcast on here yet or not, but have any of you listened to it? It's excellent. The Kyrie, Blazers GM, and Brett Brown episodes were standouts to me.

I've been trying to squeeze this into the rotation of podcasts that I listen to but haven't been able to yet. Woj right? Or is it Chris Mannix?

Mavs playing out of their mind, without dirk and yet can't even take the lead. Get it to 3 and warriors just hit 2 3's in a row. They can't be stopped. One good thing is curry is getting absolutely abused by Derron Williams. Which I enjoy watching.

Dallas is on fire in 3rd quarter. Get it to 1 with under 7 minutes left in quarter.... losing by 18 at the end of quarter. Because warriors shoot 80% and score 39. Ridiculous.
