I’m guessing colors that close together could’ve led to a lot of guys not releasing they are passing to the other team too. Wonder what turnovers were like, outside visuals and other stuff.

I really miss the days where there were clearly defined home and away uniforms.

When the Pacers started wearing the yellow alternates around 99 or so I always hoped they would accidentally get pulled out for a road game against the Lakers

Crazy game out in Sacramento as the Hornets beat the Kings 127-126. PJ Washington scored 42 points and had a +/- of -5. I wonder where that ranks for most points with a negative plus/minus.

LaMelo also went 24-4-12. He looks so great out there.

After the Knicks swept the Pacers and Detroit over the weekend, they are now 18-17, and are 4th in the East, 1/2 game ahead of the Heat. I don't know if this will last, but this feel great!

I'm seeing a lot of "LOL The Eastern Conference SUCKS" takes on Twitter, which yes but it's a different kind of suckiness. It's like a widespread mediocrity. 4 through 10 seeds are all hovering around .500. It's almost like there's too much parity in the Eastern Conference. Even the crummy teams (except for Detroit) are like a 4 o5 game hot streak away from being in the mix. Weird ass season but what the hell did we expect?

Agreed, the East's Middle Tier is bigger because teams that I thought were Top 6 for sure (Celtics, Raptors) haven't looked as good and every team except the Pistons have looked competent for decent stretches this season.

I was super wrong about both the Hornets and the Knicks which has made the East much better.

Another interesting tidbit from last night, the Rockets shot 4-45 from 3 last night in their 133-84 loss to the Grizzlies.

Also Houston's pick they owe to the Thunder is 1-4 protected so they may actually get to keep their pick.
