Clippers did a great job forcing overtime against the Mavericks, but they ultimately ran out of energy and fall to the Mavericks 112-104.

I admittedly haven't watched Banchero but Holmgren is a monster defensively, he's blowing up a high octane UCLA offense. I'm finding it hard to believe this guy isn't the #1 pick in the draft.

Nuggets are cursed, another player down clutching his knee. Hope it’s not serious…

You mean LeBron can’t just wait for his invite to the Playoffs anymore

Two developments this season that I’m really enjoying:

1. The Warriors are very good

2. The Lakers are not.

Also, pretty cool: Two of the Nuggets, Blazers, Mavs and Clippers will take losses tonight.

Liked EA’s new video but was hoping it would end with current stats. I do know his optimistic projection for Steph falls a point or so short on offense and around three points short on D.

Lakers down in flames! Out poor-shot the Knicks in the final minutes and that wasn’t easy

I like THT and recognize he is only 20 and has plenty of time. But the guy is extremely right hand dominant on his finishes. One thing that is impressive about Poole is that he uses both hands even at age 22. Reminds me of young Curry.

Heat was trailing at the end of the 3rd quarter, then outscored the Pistons 33-16 in the 4th quarter to beat the Pistons 100-92.

It’s going to be tough for Wiseman to return to a packed roster that’s winning games in bunches, he should have to fight for his minutes like everyone else and if his + - is worse than say Looney’s so be it then he learns in garbage time/ g league

Knicks 28 Lakers 14. I love the nba right now.

Embiid out, Curry, Harris, and Green questionable. Simmons obviously out as well, so basically the entire starting lineup for the Sixers might not play (although at this point I'm sure they'd make room for Maxey).

Another game where the Warriors should be able to "strength in numbers" the opponent to exhaustion.

Just watched Klay's presser on YT. Now I know for sure I am gonna have a major case of allergies during a late December or early January game.

My feel after listening to him and given where our record is, he comes back early Jan which is just fine.

So what is up with the Kings? They have a bunch of guys who are good or have a ton of potential (Barnes, Fox, Hield, Haliburton, Holmes, Mitchell) and can compete with good teams, but they always seem to fall short in the end, just like what happened last night against the 76ers without their starters. Is it because they can't find the right head coach to lead them?

Tonight's games:

Heat v Pistons - missing Duncan Robinson (probably) Markieff Morris, Isaiah Stewart, Kelly Olynyk

Lakers v Knicks - missing LeBron, Davis (questionable), Reaves, Mitchell Robinson

Nuggets v Trailblazers - missing Jokic (questionable), MPJ, Murray

Mavericks vs Clippers - missing Doncic, Kawhi, Batum

Might be missing some (har) but that's a lot of wattage missing from tonight's schedule.
