First time all year I have seen Chris Paul play and watching him run up and down the court makes my legs hurt.

That is bummer news. I assume he'll be out for the rest of the regular and post-season, similarly to Wemby.

So glad I didn't adjust for eastern time and tuned in just as the second half was kicking off.

Could be some fun Pistons and Spurs battles in the future though.

That's kinda wild. That injury looked so bad. As someone who has had way too many ankle injuries doing the same thing, I almost threw up last night watching that. I get so queasy when I see dudes roll their ankles like that

An unsung hero of the Houston Rockets this season is Steven Adams. The two big lineup with Sengun has been a problem for most teams. Great defensive presence who seems to gobble up all loose balls (pause) . I'd put him up there in elite rebounder territory with the likes of Rodman. Hope he stays here for many years and remains healthy

Through Tuesday, Şengün and Adams have played 210 possessions together. According to Cleaning the Glass, the Rockets have a whopping 127.1 offensive rating and a stingy 91.5 defensive rating in that span. Their plus-35.6 net rating is in the 100th percentile for any two-man pairing in the NBA — and by quite some distance. Contrary to the belief that playing two centers would bring everything to a screeching halt, Houston’s pace when both are on the floor is 101.5, which would be fifth-fastest in the league.An unsung hero of the Houston Rockets this season is Steven Adams.

Rockets’ jumbo lineup with Steven Adams, Alperen Şengün could thrive in playoffs
Playing two centers who don't space the floor isn't supposed to work in the modern NBA. But Houston is finding success with it.

Another interesting tidbit about Adams' season:
Steven Adams has rebounded an astounding 22.5% of all Houston misses in his minutes. That would be the highest single-season ORB% in recorded NBA history (since '73-74 for O-boards, minimum 500 minutes)

Adams is one of the best team rebounders I’ve ever seen. So many of Westbrook’s rebounds when he was with the Thunder were a result of Adams basically blocking out the entire opposition. He’s so much so fun. One of the toughest and most physical guys in the league but he does it without being dirty. Seeing him destroy a guard with a an actual non-moving screen is one of the best things to watch in the NBA. He sent someone from the Hawks into the shadow realm the other night.

Seems like a great dude off the court as well. Love this clip with him and Reed Sheppard at the Houston Rodeo. "The problem with Reed is he has a punchable face"

What large corporate logo did the Suns try to unsuccessfully remove from both sides of their floor?
How cheap can an NBA team be? It looks like the results you'd get from those supposed erasable pens that were popular in like '82. Forget their name.
Actually, that should be the new sponsor. Leave the big blotches and just slap a smaller eraser pen logo on there.

I came home and turned on the Celtics game and am happy to see they are up 25 right before the half.
They proceed to have 3 consecutive 0-pass possessions (Holiday, Brown & Pritchard) where the guy dribbling it up the floor just dances with the ball and then shoots a poor stepback three and misses it. Pritchard's was an airball right before the buzzer. Meanwhile the Suns score 6 points and they go to the half up only 19.
That's like grade school level poor shot selection. It's like a bunch of dudes just decided it was their turn and they weren't going to pass. Maybe one of them was a 2 for 1 decision, but still, you can at least try and throw 1 pass in there.

Really? I work from home and have ESPN on pretty much all day as background noise. Every time LeBron is mentioned they comment how amazing he’s doing at his age.

#5's effort was pretty weak. You don't want to foul, but he basically just watched LeBron and didn't try to do anything on that rebound.I know, right?

Looked him up, it is Jarace Walker and he only played 8 minutes total in that game. Must be a good defender to be in on that possession, but if he tries to get to the rebound at all he could have at least made it difficult to tip it.

I think the Wizards got a little nervous after going 6-4 over a 10-game stretch and now all their vets are coming down with injuries. Now guys like Jaylen Martin, Colby Jones, and JT Thor are getting big minutes. And yet they still beat the 76ers last night, after losing five in a row. I suspect Poole will be "injured" soon. Not much risk of losing a bottom-three record, but they need to continue giving their youngest players the most minutes possible.

I'm pretty sure that almost every person that follows basketball would list LeBron as no less than the second best player of all-time - and I hear analysts praising what he's doing at his age as incredible almost any time i turn on ESPN and they're discussing the NBA (which isn't that often anymore, but enough to feel I can speak competently to it).I know, right?

Carlisle made two bad mistakes on the last couple possessions. First, he didn’t call their last TO when they had the ball to get Halliburton back in the game for their last possession (missed shot). Second, even after their miss they had a foul to give, which would have allowed them to get Turner in for the last defensive possession (could have helped on that rebound). They tried to tell the players to foul but they didn’t hear - a TO when they had the ball could have communicated that to the team better.

Nice finish, although Luka did his best to completely blow the game. I counted three absolute blow-bys in the final few minutes. He is a total defensive liability.

Celtics with a home game last night in Phoenix. Absolutely destroyed the Suns.
Suns are horrible to watch. Embarrassing they still may find their way into play in as Kings are equally horrible and Mavs have everyone hurt.
I'm still amazed the Kings couldn't find a way to get Castle in the Fox deal and settled for Lavine's terrible contract and a 1st rounder 25 years from now
