JJ Redick went scorched earth on the Lakers postgame.


Everybody asleep? Good. There’s an NBA team that’s 21-1. I feel like the last time a defending champion was going for the all-time wins record at a pace like this it was everywhere in the sports media world. Now nobody/that same ecosystem seems to care all that much.


The Chicago Bulls are trying to follow the Indiana Pacers’ formula and believe they have their Tyrese Haliburton in Josh Giddey, and they’re now searching for their Pascal Siakam, per @JamalCollier “They have Haliburton, who is an All-Star, and they have Siakam. If Giddey can develop into an All-Star and be what Hali was, when do we pull the trigger to get our Siakam?” (Via espn.com/nba/story/_/id…)






Jimmy Butler isn't living up to the "Playoff Jimmy" name anymore. Finished with an underwhelming 17 points on 4/11 as the Warriors got eliminated by the Timberwolves, which continues a worrisome trend. Butler's last 11 elimination games: 17/6/6 L vs MIN 20/8/7 W vs HOU 27/9/8 L vs HOU 8/5/2 L vs HOU 29/9/5 L vs DEN 28/7/6 W vs BOS 24/11/8 L vs BOS 14/5/5 L vs BOS 29/9/5 L vs BOS 24/8/4 W vs NYK 19/7/9 L vs NYK 3-8 record, averaging only 21 PPG on only 16.5 FGA and only 50.7% true shooting. Hasn't dominated a game since the end of the Heat-Bucks series over two years ago. Racks up 7 RPG and 6 APG but regularly plays passively and scores inefficiently. Unfortunately, Butler couldn't save the Warriors.

Several people on the Warriors rolled their eyes when Brandin Podziemski said he wanted to be better than Steph Curry, per @anthonyVslater “Podziemski made a number of comments in the lead-up to the season about his long-term career ambitions, including a news conference answer to a question about whether he wanted to be as great as Steph Curry. Podziemski said he ‘wants to be better than him,’ an answer that elicited some eyerolls and continued references from several within the organization. Podziemski's numbers (12.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists) are relatively stable from a season ago.” (Via espn.com.sg/nba/story/_/id…)
