Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater Klay Thompson, Steve Kerr and now Steph Curry have trumpeted Andrew Wiggins for the All-Star game the last two days. It’s an organizational push. Curry unprompted tonight: “#22 should be in Cleveland this year.” – 12:25 AM
Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron Stephen Curry: “I don’t want to get ahead of myself, but No. 22 should be in Cleveland this year with the way he’s hooping.”

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron Steph Curry on whether he daydreams about what this team can be when Klay returns: “All the time. … There’s a lot of options with what we can do. … Once (Klay) gets back to who he is, it’s going to be fun.” – 12:23 AM

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron Stephen Curry: “If we come with the right approach and execute defensively, don’t turn the ball over, we can beat obviously anybody. … It’s a good confidence-builder to win in these types of settings.” – 12:19 AM
KC Johnson @KCJHoop Go back to what DeMar DeRozan said in late Sept. on Bulls media day. He tried to warn all that something special could happen.
This prescience, and his poise, are why his arrival has helped transform the Bulls.
