From earlier today, Blake Griffin is once again tied for the league-lead in charges despite the drop in playing time recently. He once defied gravity, now he’s succumbed to it. On his mastery of the charge: theathletic.com/3237103/2022/0… – 7:38 PM

Greetings from Barclays. Nets-Cavs tips shortly. A win tonight puts Brooklyn one away from the seven seed. Keep an eye on Milwaukee tonight. They’re playing their stars. Do they rest them Sunday against Cleveland? We’ll see. Meanwhile, KD and Kyrie vs. Mr. LeVert and co. – 7:36 PM

The Cavaliers scored 9 points in the first quarter against the Celtics on Nov. 13. That’s the fewest points any team has scored in a first quarter this season.
The Pistons, who have 4 points with 2:48 to play in the first, are threatening that. – 7:32 PM

Great to see Jarrett Allen putting in work pre-game tonight!

Lots going on with Eastern Conf play-in position. Cleveland in 7th is a game up on Brooklyn & Atlanta. Cavs at Nets, Hawks at Heat tonight.
Charlotte is 1 game behind Bkn/Atl in 10th, so a win tonight vs. #Bulls would give Hornets some hope of at least hosting the 9/10 game – 7:02 PM

Big comeback wins are cool and all, but that’s not the Nets’ ideal strategy On deadline, I prefer they build 20-point lead in the second quarter and maintain it, lol. Cavs, tonight’s opponent, had a 21-point halftime lead in Nov game, and Nets still won.

Looking at Eastern Conference, three questions pop in my 🤔:
1. Say Nets lose to Cavs in play-in and have to play Charlotte or Atlanta for final playoff spot. Win or go home vs. Trae Young or fast-paced, high scoring Hornets?
2. Bulls 1st round exit?
3. Raptors most dangerous? pic.twitter.com/mZb7reyyCe – 5:38 PM
