What exactly is going on with T.J, Warrens head injuries? Is it like a Momento type of deal? It's starting to smell tanky..

Shouldn't they be 'resting' Bledsoe if they're gonna tank properly though?

Well it's not that cut and dry.. It's more like counting in blackjack - ya can't make it too obvious, the illusion of competitive integrity must be maintained.


Lemme just put it this way.. If I was an NBA GM I could tank the season and have it pass under the vast majority of noses unbeknownst.

Jabari's up to 35% from 3 on 3 attempts per game.. Its funny so many Paul Pierce comps were thrown around, If you look closely his starts are right in line with Pierce's old teammate Antoine Walker.

ICYMI - Evan Turner had one of the more entertaining techs of the year..

A mountain of evidence continues to build, the 1-and-done rule is nonsense;

@ESPNStatsInfo
No team in NBA history has had more than 1 player 21-or-younger avg more than 20 points per game.@Timberwolves currently have 3 of them.

That was a fun game. CP3 had bested Lillard twice now this year.


Portland's offense is too 'one note' at the moment. No inside threat whatsoever.
