AROUND the NBA:

[Chicagojk]

Nets blow out the Bucks yesterday.   Nets have been playing better recently.  Not a good sign for the Bucks.  Giannis didn't play, but still it appears a divorce is when not if.  I believe I read OKC, Houston and SA will not look for a Giannis trade during the season.  Maybe that is false, but we will see.    

Hornets beat the Cavs in overtime.  Cavs score 0 points in overtime.   Cavs without Mobley but Hornets without Ball. It is becoming clear though that Ball may not be in their future.  His health and salary may not be worth what he brings to the table.   Kon is so good too.  I really liked him in college, but I did not think he would be this good, this fast.  

Hawks beat the sixers.  Jalen Johnson with another triple double.  Trae Young and Maxey did not play.   Wonder if ATL is exploring going really big....especially with a draft pick coming up and letting Trae go?   The KP news is tough for this year as they have a pretty big hole at center now.  

Pelicans beat the Bulls.  Boy did the Bulls season go down the toilet fast.   Coby White shooting 29% from three so far.  

Trailblazers beat the Warrirors despite 12 threes and 48 points from Curry.   What is the plan for GS?  Kuminga with another DNP.
