The Hawks and the Bucks matched their Vegas O/U by the All Star break, pretty impressive.

Golden St is -240 to win it all, surprised to see it there. I don't doubt how good they are, just coming out of the West seems like way more of a crapshoot with the amount of teams that could win this year compared to previous, I'd think any West team would be a tough bet to bet on winning it all.

I'm not sure I can even begin to comprehend all the trades and what they mean. I do know that the Sixers are set to either draft a whole new team or make some big moves up in the draft.

i was having one of the busiest and best days in the market i've had in about 10 months and was completely overwhelmed with that and then i clicked on twitter and saw a couple trades start then i clicked on Woj's twitter feed and all hell started and i put aside my own personal wealth to watch the panic of NBA twitter ensue.

it was one of the wildest 20 minutes of trades i've ever seen. the buzzkill was that although it was great as a fan i was really more interested in snatching a few good players for my fantasy team that would be bumped into a new role and of the 40 or so guys traded, the only guy that i could get was Isiah Canaan who should get run in Philly at the point.

but lots of interesting moves from a hoops perspective. Heat starting 5 is no joke, not sure it's going to be enough but Dragic fills their need about as good as someone can. should help their slowest pace in the league, can address scoring needs, can shoot, can pass. he can't defend but hopefully his pros outweigh his cons. The Heat got ZERO from their PG spot so now they are going from that to a dude who was all nba 3rd team last yr. i'm assuming Miami knows they can resign him.

Isiah Thomas needs a home, hopefully he finds it in Boston.

MCW stinks but i can see Kidd helping him out as it was nearly impossible for him to fix his deficiencies playing for that 76ers team.

Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe as the backcourt of the Suns is Jsence wet dream.

Afflalo to Blazers and Kanter to OKC both are really nice grabs and both really underrated players. Reggie Jackson is a star, he is going to be crazy good in Detroit if they give him the keys.

i'm sure i'm missing about half the deals, but thats what stood out to me.

I just realized how out of touch I really am with the NBA. Riccio is blowing his wad over the trade deadline, and I'm sitting here not even realizing the trade deadline was today until he mentioned it :lol:

Have you ever done that? Had to put plastic down? My bro mentions a broad that soaked so bad he had to flip the mattress. Even as a doctor I still don't know where that fluid comes from

I was with a squirter before my wife.
It became a challenge each time to make the fountain appear.

Even worst for me, I don't even recognize some of the names he just rattled off. I used to love the NBA back in the 90's early 00's too. I just don't like the style of game play and all the flopping and crying to the refs.

Dave, is there a team that plays good team basketball like the old Jazz did? If so, I may start following them and the NBA again.

The Spurs and Hawks play a more appealing style of basketball than any team from the 90s.

I was referring more to the team style play rather than the constant iso plays that plagues the NBA now
