Mavericks have won 7 straight games at home

Blazers are 1-5 in their last 6 games

Bulls have fired Hoiberg! Bout damn The time, should’ve done so in 2016 when they missed the playoffs with butler rose and Gasol. Don’t know how the dude lasted so long 😄

They better hire someone good now, Bulls fans deserve good basketball

Wow OKC are wiping the pistons in Detroit 😲

Was about to say this, OKC are playing out of their minds recently, can’t wait to see them when Roberson returns.. they’re already clamping teams and their best defender isn’t even playing yet. Scary good potential for them

Teams will have nightmares against them if they don’t already do 😄

YES CAVS , nearly blew that

Burks did this for the win in just his 3rd game for the Cavs. Already settled

God I’m glad he did it , had Cavs to win and they choked until that moment 😄

Wizards had a 16 pt lead with 6 mins and won by just 3, glad my handicap was -2 😄 , would’ve been a tough one

Man the rockets just fell apart in the 2nd half.. disappointing that

Yeah I’ve noticed you’ve been hitting everything right these past few nights 😄 , keep going

Yes, unfortunately thought Houston ended the run which is frustrating cos they dominated the first half but 3/4 is still a good day

Randle and Holiday really combined for 69 pts just for pelicans to lose to the clippers.. yikes

Pelicans have so much good talent offensively but their defense is awful.. if they could fix up on that end they’d be winning so much more

Nuggets are unreal Mann , they’ve beaten Warriors Lakers Thunder Celtics Blazers and now TORONTO.. they’re not even fully healthy 😲
