    I'm so happy to see Rose play well. He's still quick as h---. Just fix that jumper and he will be back to near peak form.

    Yeah I'll probably grab a window seat and try to sleep a couple hours on the plane, although I've never had much luck trying to sleep on planes plus I don't wanna be one of those assholes who's snoring loud and annoying everyone lol. Hopefully with how tired I'll be though I can manage to fall asleep a bit.

    But yeah it'll definitely be worth it, I just wanna be able to fully appreciate it and pay attention to what's going on so a few hours sleep at least would help.

    He shoots too hard, if that makes sense. In warm ups it's much more natural, he doesn't jump as high, I'd even say it's a nice looking jumper. For whatever reason in the game he's inconsistent with his form. Idk if all the games off messed with his timing or what, but it's definitely something he needs to keep working on. He's been hitting his mid range at a pretty good rate recently, really opens up the rest of the game for him if he can knock that shot down consistently.

    Miami looking like the favorite to get Joe Johnson. Rumor is he likes the fact that they can offer him more minutes and a bigger role.

    EDIT: It's official @NBAsxn

    bleacherreport Joe Johnson has committed to sign with the Miami Heat per multiple reports.

    Kevin Martin most likely getting bought out today. I have to imagine most if not all the teams who were looking at JJ will be interested in him. I'd love for the Bulls to get into the mix but they tend to not make mid-season shakeups like this. My gut says he'll join OKC because he was there a few years ago.

    Ty Lawson also in buyout negotiations. Utah had talks to get him during the trade deadline but the deal fell through. Not sure who would be interested in him since he's looked so bad all year.

    Good win over the Heat, C's starting to separate themselves as the 3 seed. That's 10 in a row at home.

    HOLY s--- what a game.

    Curry could be a top 5 player all time when it's all said and done, maybe even higher if he can stay at this level or better. His shots late in this game were just ridiculous especially that game winner, this game will go down as one of the best of the year if not the best in the whole NBA.

    This is weird and hard to say... But if Curry does this for another 5-7 years, consistently, he is in Jordan "best ever" convo. Maybe better


    ^I agree with him and was thinking this too, but Curry needs to keep winning rings also for this to happen. But he's already gonna get a 2nd MVP this year, maybe a 2nd ring and now has the top 3 records for most 3s in a season, he could have the whole top 10 by the time he's done lol.

    Stephen A reporting that Kyrie is unhappy in Cleveland and would prefer to play somewhere else. Per Fansided:

    The Cleveland Cavaliers are in turmoil as the enter the final stretch of the regular season. The chemistry problems that plagued them at the start of the 2014-15 season seem to be back at the worst possible time, as no one is clicking and the team is getting blown out at random.

    You never know which Cavaliers team is going to show up — and lately it has been a consistently bad one.

    As we’ve learned in the hot take world we live in, where there is smoke there is usually a bus full of burning puppies. That’s the calling card of Stephen A. Smith, who has some pretty grim news when it comes to how well Kyrie Irving is digging playing for the Cavaliers.

    Stephen A. Smith spouted off about what he has been hearing surrounding Kyrie Irving in Cleveland — and it’s not good for Cavs fans.

    “Dating back to last year, I’ve been told that Kyrie Irving ain’t too happy being in Cleveland,” Smith stated on First Take this morning. “The situation is not ideal for him. I don’t know the particulars, I haven’t spoken to him personally. It’s something that I’ve been hearing for months; that under ideal circumstances he would prefer to be someplace other than Cleveland.”

    This isn’t the first time that we’ve heard rumors about Kyrie being unhappy in Cleveland. Before LeBron James returned in the summer of 2014, there were rumors that Irving wanted out and wasn’t going to re-sign with the team. That whole fiasco ended with a max deal for Irving, but the problems seem to be persisting.

    He has clashed with LeBron James on numerous occasions, dating back to last year when following a blowout loss he was called out by LeBron for not passing. That’s been a major problem for Irving, as his assist totals have never been great, and it’s starting to affect the offense in Cleveland. He’s also defensively challenged, which has been an issue that has shown no signs of changing.

    If Irving wants out, there are a handful of teams that would take him on. But he’s in the best position to win in Cleveland, and moving anywhere else would be transparently personal.
