In case you want to complain about the Bulls' injury woes, at least we're not the Grizzlies, who had but 7 healthy players last night...3 of whom were 10 day contract players.

Apparently twitter lied, they had 9 players play last night. And Vince Carter was one of their injured players. Either way, they still lost by 49...sucks to suck.

Memphis pulled up my VCU guy Briante Weber from the D-League. His first game was decent, 10pts 7 assists on 4/6 shooting but the other games haven't been so pretty. I'd imagine it's hard to get thrown into an NBA game without even practicing with the team, hope he doesn't just get cut.

Spurs put on a defensive clinic. That is gonna be a fun series. GS needs their entire team healthy and it should be epic.

I'm not sure. GS played an awful offensive game, had a really bad shooting night (a lot of those were open shots), and they were seriously outsized down low without Bogut and Ezeli. I wasn't that impressed with the Spurs but then again GS had a good defensive game also.

Spurs did a good job not allowing steph or klay to get in a rhythm, so even when they did get good looks, they missed. But I don't think that the series would go past 6 games

Idk the Spurs have been playing great defense all year. I mean just look at the team play on this possession

Sure GS had an off night as well, but I don't think the Spurs have even showed their full hand yet. If/when they meet up in the playoffs it should be a great series.

Look at Tim Duncan moving his feet when he switches onto Curry and keeping his arms up to bother a potential shot. That's awesome.

Just in general, the Spurs have a lot of length on defense, and they used it to maximum effect. They closed out aggressively, got into passing lanes, and just never let the Warriors get going. Sure, you can't expect Steph and Klay to shoot so poorly over the course of a series, should these two teams meet, but if the Spurs squeeze them like they did last night and force them to take contested shots all game, they'll make it very interesting.

Also, even if they have Bogut on the floor and you put him on Duncan, you still have to deal with the size of Aldridge and even the little quirk of playing Diaw against smaller players. The Warriors really didn't have an answer for either one of them.

Lebron unfollowed the Cavs on Twitter and Instagram.

Rumors are that he wants to return to Miami next season.

Was just trying to help you guys and spark conversation on the board, man. That's all.
lol it's all good...just think the Lebron social media thing gets way overblown. Obviously not here, but in general.

:( I've always liked Craig. Great guy it seems and such a good sport over the years.
