NBA Season 2015-2016

I know we're all waiting to see if the Bucks can beat the Warriors again, but the game of the night for me is Hawks v. Celtics, or Budenholzer v. Stevens.

Never thought I'd witness Garrett Temple's career scoring game in person. Dude was playing out of his mind!

Speaking as a Knicks fan, the level of excitement in NYC over Alabaster Ewing is absolutely hilarious. I'm all in.

And hey! Good for Jeremy Lin finding a new life on a team that is passingly familiar with teamwork and doesn't feature a ball-hogging 2-guard who defends like an NBA 2K player with the controller unplugged!

Alabaster Ewing will be his nickname now and forever.

Okay, so which NBA team wants to relocate to St. Louis? Any NBA plans to expand?

On a related note, one of Kroenke's many other pro sports teams just handed the Warriors their 3rd loss of the season.

Seattle's short a team so I think they're first. Wisconsin bought the Bucks a stadium so they're locked in. At least for another 10 years or so. I can't think of a relocation candidate, honestly. The Pelicans and Kings were borderline, but they both got new stadiums.

Thanks. So no holding my breath then.

Warriors at Cavs tonight. Plus a whole bunch of daytime basketball.

I'm driving to Cleveland to go to the game. I can't wait.

Nice! I wanted to go but tickets for good seats were just too expensive for us right now.

This will be a good one.

Yeah, they weren't cheap, but my buddy and I decided to splurge. It's my first live NBA game in a very long time.

Fun first quarter.

Even better 2nd quarter. 70 in the first half.

This dominance over the Cavs is downright terrifying.

Did LeBron owe Steph money?

The only saving grace for Cleveland is the Golden State may not make the Finals. The Cavs didn't stand a chance, and Golden State never played their best lineup.

What the ever living hell is going on there?

...?

Oh, the elevated Tyronn Lue to head coach. So they're just codifying the reality of who's coaching the team with LeBron in charge.

What? Very strange. I guess Lebron got his wish and Lue is in. I don't know how you justify firing this coach:

Cavs had only lost 2 games since day after Christmas. They were 11-2 over last 13 contests. The only losses were to the Warriors and Spurs.

James has 2 titles, but I feel like the degree to which his business dealings (his company was Tristan Thompson's agent) and personal feelings dictate moves almost makes him a cancer on teams. If the owner or team can resist his every whim (Miami) they have a shot. Otherwise GM LeBron will continually shoot you in the foot.

There's your NBA Finals preview right there. No matter what Cleveland does in the East they are going to lose.

The Cavs should hire Luke Walton.

Luke Walton should say no to that job offer.

Ooh the Pacers are on ESPN tonight.

Oh... it's @ Golden State.

Well at least we will lose in style. I'm watching anyway.

Ouch. Just a half second after the buzzer Steph hits one from the opposite 3 point line.

He's good.
