Warriors clearly still the best team in the West. Denver 18-3 at home won 12 straight at home had the top record in general in the conference and warriors go there and win by THIRTY ONE! Message sent. Team to beat is still Golden State
Finally the Lakers young players showed up both Ingram and Lonzo played helluva games but I'm not getting excited with OKC Houston and GSW coming up and LeBron definitely missing the first two. But for now at least we're back tied with Utah so that's good
Shocking effort from the Timberwolves. There’s a reason Butler left
Embiid owned KAT
Extremely Impressed but atlanta , but inexscusable game by OKC
Bucks are playing unreal basketball
Warriors sent a MESSAGE. Still the best team
Curry is rolling right now
Lakers young core finally showed up

It's actually WILD how many incredible games and individual performances we've seen during this NBA season. So many great storylines aswell. It's been a GREAT NBA season and we're only halfway in
Kyrie killed Toronto down the stretch last night. I just love watching this guy close games. He also made a lot of great plays for his teammates in the 4th quarter to seal the win. But here's some of the KEY buckets. 2nd time he's torched Toronto in the clutch this season now
Curry's 3rd Quarter against the Pelicans. Absolutely insane, I can't stress enough how much I love watching him play when he gets it going like this. Absolutely unconscious. Rips the other teams hearts out when he gets this hot. Best shooter ever for sure
And this is definitely the craziest performance from last night in terms of CLUTCH. Dinwiddie was absolutely amazing down the stretch against Houston. Whether it was scoring or playmaking. Such an underrated player
Embiid is nowhere near 100% yet he's closing in on a triple double in the 3rd quarter. Despite that I do not like the fact that Sixers are playing him when he's clearly not moving well and isn't 100%. Have they forgotten his injury history? Silly to risk him out there imo
Disappointed with Indiana. Only Thad Young showed up. Oladipo non existent, Sabonis was shut out and they pretty much got obliterated here. They've been terrible against east's elite in the past couple weeks. Blown out by Toronto Boston and now Philly. Must sort this out
Good win for the 76ers though given that Embiid wasn't 100% and Simmons didn't perform well. Great performance by Embiid playing with a stiff back though. Butler and Redick played great ball
WHAT A WIN BY THE LAKERS! Everyone showed up tonight! Down 17 early, then absolutely blew it in the 4th but bounced back in OT and delivered it. Well thank godness OKC are trash at closing games 😄 but man what a win this is huge for Playoff implications. Shoutout to Russ for shooting 7/30 too 😄
