Yes, lest anyone think that a statement evaluating one team is necessarily and inherently a slight to another: the Thunder are also very good

Sorry β€” now 21-8 since, after drilling the Celtics. (The standings page hadn't reloaded yet.) This is only the second time since 2015 the Hornets have been over .500 this late in the season. Really incredible.

Pacers were 10-15 on Dec. 8. (After a loss to ... the Hornets!)

Went 40-17 the rest of the regular season, sixth on offense, eighth on defense.

Charlotte was 11-23 on Jan. 2. Have gone 20-8 since, first on offense, third on defense. Just a stunning turnaround.

Hornets have won 6 straight games by 15+ points, the longest streak by any team since the 2017-18 Warriors.

It's tied for the 2nd-longest streak in NBA history.

Particularly hurts given the opportunity to close the gap on the Celtics, who got drilled by the Hornets in Boston. Knicks still 1.5 games out of second in the East.

Knicks had two good looks from 3 to tie it on the final possession, but neither Brunson nor OG can convert. Strong showing on the second night of a back-to-back against the champs, but come up just short.

OG and-one wiped off, Knick possession erased, KAT fifth foul, two FT for Dort. Pretty massive swings for OKC on challenges here midway through the fourth.

Philly has a Jared McCain problem Daryl Morey could be correct about McCain having no future with the Sixers, leading to his trade. The problem is everything else the team did betrays the real motive here.

A chart comparing the DARKO Daily Plus-Minus progressions of Anthony Edwards and Dwyane Wade at different ages.

Though, now that you mention it ... pretty surprising!

Whoa, whoa, whoa: nobody said Ant "passed" Wade. It was a just stylistic point of comparison for the shift in Ant's game β€” going from a relentless downhill driver without a consistent long-range jumper to suddenly knocking down those Js at an elite rate.

Absolutely. And I'm glad I caught him scoring like 10 straight on increasingly wilder jumpers tonight, because "he's not Wemby or Jokic" shouldn't inure me to just how fuckin' cold and special what he *is* is

It's like if D-Wade suddenly shot like KD.

It's really incredible how good Ant's become. Like, out of the box, the whole thing was explosion, how easy he got off the floor as he drove to the basket. And now he shoots like 47% on long 2s and 40% from 3 on like nine attempts a game ... and he still has the explosion.

Man if there are problems in the union about this stuff they have to be addressed, yeah, the existence of the letter itself is fine, but whoever leaked this during active bargaining has some explaining to do.

Agreed! More Brunson as the screener for KAT.

KAT has been playing really wonderful basketball lately. Playing super hard. Smart plays. Some of his best defense of the season, especially against San Antonio. Great, clutch shot making. Doing it all.

Kind of love KAT and Brunson turning the inability to get the ball to Brunson a handoff into just inverting it, with Brunson setting the screen, KAT handling and stepping into a pull-up J.

When Harden sees Ausar coming over to double late in the clock and fires it off his foot, triggering a kick-ball and a reset of the shot clock to 14:

This fourth quarter has been the Pistons testing the Cavs' chin and heart. Extended the defense, sitting down, everything contested, nothing conceded. Really fun playoff-style exam.
