Curry is still absolutely ridiculous.  Where do you slot him all-time?

I think he's definitely top 100, don't you?

I was thinking top 7.

Jokic only had 37, 18, and 15 today.

Does anyone else find the NBA difficult to watch this year?  Maybe a couple teams play an interesting style of ball... Cleveland and LA (and I've never been a Lakers fan) and Golden State come to mind - but the rest of the league just bores me.  And the bucks really suck.  I would normally watch a bucks game just because it's the bucks, but this team has no system and no chemistry and is frustrating to watch.

interesting. I had him easily top 51.

Maybe. He's the Pippen to Draymond's Jordan.

This is 17 higher than your usual score.

As a Bucks fan, I can understand this.  But as a wider NBA fan, can't agree at all.  There are so many compelling young stars and I think the league actually has a ton of parity right now.  Not as convenient as an EST resident, but the Western Conference has a bunch of great basketball.

Sad to see that Chet Holmgren is gonna miss 2 months with a pelvic fracture. Sounds painful as hell. He was on his way to becoming one of the really outstanding young players in the game, and the Thunder were looking like championship material. Hope he comes back strong.

EDIT: Just heard on ESPN that he won't even be evaluated for 8-10 weeks. Sounds like a long, painful road back.

BTW, Jaylen Brown is 100% right, hey?

Since you've decided that your only role here now is to simply be a troll, you could at least try to be a clever one.

He's just mad Giannis is the biggest thing to ever happen to basketball in Milwaukee

Makes more sense that you assume the Scoop leadership role, aina?

Back-to-back triple-doubles for the goat, LeBron James

Easy, peasy for ball hogs, aina?

Yes, double digit assists are easy for ball hogs

There's quite a bit being written about the Cavs' best players (mostly Mitchell, Garland, and Mobley) -- and rightfully so -- but Ty Jerome has been a nice surprise. I wasn't familiar with him before this season, but I love the way he plays. On a purely stylistic note, he reminds me of a cross between Stevie and Tyko. He's an absolute pest on defense and gets a lot of steals and deflections, and he's fearless on offense. I'm sure he'll come back to earth (just as the Cavs will), but damn, he's fun to watch. Nice to get 10 ppg, 3.5 apg, and 1.5 spg from an unexpected source off the bench.

Tonight he had a hell of a game. Hit 3 straight 3s down 9 to send game to OT. Then hit the go ahead shot in OT with 1.1 left

But Heat gave up a inbounds alley oop and then lost on a Technical for calling a TO they didn't have haha

False. The GOAT is Anders, football, basketball no matter, he is the GOAT in all sports. Rumor has it, he taught LeBron how to dribble.

I can't remember the last time Spo unnatural carnal knowledgeed up that bad. Sucks feeling like a Bucks fan for a moment there

Today's fun stat:

The Trail Blazers shot 4-of-42 (9.5%) from deep in Sunday's loss to Memphis, which was the worst 3-point percentage in any NBA game this season. In Tuesday's win over Minnesota, they shot 18-of-32 (56.3%), which was the best.
