I wonder if we'll ever get to a 70 game season with help of the technology push in analytics.

It would be the right move from a player standpoint in that maybe guys would load manage less. Resulting in fans getting a better experience. Will never happen due to the lost revenue the owners would take from playing 10-12 less games.

FIFY ---  "...due to the lost revenue the owners and players would take from playing 10-12 less games."

It's early, but the Raptors have hit their stride.

Are the Rockets the best offense in league history?

The Los Angeles Lakers are reorganizing their basketball operations department and terminating executives Joey and Jesse Buss from their respective front office positions, effective immediately, the brothers told ESPN.

Kidd might have been right here

The Indiana Pacers are planning to waive guard Monte Morris and sign forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to a standard, non-guaranteed deal, sources tell ESPN. Morris has averaged 5.2 points and 6.2 rebounds over two 10-day hardship deals.

This is also regarding the Rockets' offensive rebounding at an insane rate.

Los Angeles Clippers guard Chris Paul is retiring after this season – his 21st campaign in the NBA. Paul is a 12-time All-Star, an 11-time member of All-NBA teams, a selection to the 75 greatest players list, nine-time All-Defense and the 2006 Rookie of the Year.
14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.

So are the Pistons!

With so many teams tanking as hard as they can, and others trying to be close behind, there will be a LOT of W's available. It could be a season of haves and have-not's.

Incredible that he won't be able to repeat as RoY for 20 seasons in a row.

I know he's seemingly fell off a cliff, but I still wonder if he had signed here how differently his season and our season would have gone.

Kon is lighting it up again. This ROY race is getting past Flagg. He needs to start having some big games to match Kon’s pace.
