Morris coming hot from his blind side, with elbow and body charge, while Jokic by rising hands to pass, leave his rib cage open. Jokic shouldnt done but it is what it is, also if Morris didnt milk whole thing, hope he is okey.
Jaylen is better than Tatum, Celtics aren't going to trade him.
Morris twins are massive cnuts and they'll be in jail if they weren't rich and famous.
Naw, no way is he better than Tatum, he’s a good player but not that good..Tatum got a much higher ceiling.
It sort of sums up the Morris twins, they're the fake tough guy types who will start a fight when they're 20 points down to act like they care but will go missing in the big moments. That being said Jokic's reaction was also completely out of line.
Tatum thinks he's the second coming of Kobe and has severe case of tunnel vision and shit shot selection. Brown has outplayed him for quite a while now.
He’s only outplayed him the start of this season because Tatum is going through some terrible form but that will change very soon, anyway keep the J’s and add Simmons because we’re doing crap and Beale doesn’t look to be coming.
Jokic did nothing wrong.
Morris has been watching soccer I see.
I've always maintained that Tatum is overrated since he was drafted and nothing I have seen recently has changed that. He's decent but not a primary option on a championship caliber team. The Celtics need another All Star to contend.
Who?
Jimmy Butler playing the hard man from the bench during the Jokic/Morris issue 
Would love to see him try to do anything to Jokic.

KAT would be a good option but the Celtics wouldn't be able to get him without giving up one of Brown or Tatum, when you need both to contend. The reality is that the Celtics would have to give up a lot in a trade to get the All-Star needed and so their only hope is to be able to create salary cap space and hope to entice someone to join in the future. A better PG than Schroeder would be great but again, who that would be would be up for debate.

Jalen Brunson is getting paid next summer.

That Harden one gets me every time

The Pelicans are just a shocking team/organisation.
Another good win. Best game of the season from Andrew Wiggins. Anthony Edwards is something else. Did not deserve to be on the losing side.

Malik Monk with a game for the ages. Two top defensive teams doing battle short handed. Lakers win
I don't know if Silas will be coach when this Rockets team begins to resemble a playoff team again but I can already see bits and bobs of something very good forming. It's kind of liberating in a way to watch basketball not really being too concerned about the outcome of each game.
Enjoyed Cunningham vs Green last night though.

This is a post from a Wolves blog that I had to share because it's funny and accurate.
Top 10 Shaqtin moment of all timeThat Harden one gets me every time
Not NBA but a sweet three-quarter length buzzer beater last night in NCAA ball.
First in FT attempted, 29th in FT made. Yikes.
Which team is that?
Houston.
Damn and I thought the Lakers were the worst free throw shooting team in the league .
Another good win, against a good team
7 straight wins by double digits, the longest such streak in the last 4 years apparently.
+106 in 3Q this season

I thought the Bulls would be a real test. I think it's possible we're actually pretty good.
Woohoo!!!!!!

10 losses in a row. It's a race to the bottom against the Pistons and Pelicans.
What an awful, awful 4th quarter performance.
To be fair, CP3 does that to a lot of people regularly.
No need to dance on a rookie's head like that late in a blowout
If he did that to me, I’d love it. Would always be able to tell anyone that CP3 once destroyed me. No shame in that, only a good story.No need to dance on a rookie's head like that late in a blowout
