Well deserved recognition for Zach who is putting up tremendous numbers and who has always been a high competitive hard working player.

Tyrese Haliburton had 23 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists tonight. In my view, he's clearly established himself as #2 behind LaMello Ball for ROY honors.

The Celtics lost to the Mavs tonight. The Celtics are not 15-16. I wonder if Brad Stevens might find himself unemployed after this season - or may earlier. I'm not sure what's going on the the Celtics, but I still think Stevens is a really good head coach. If the Celtics fire him after this season, the Wolves won't be pursing him. Rosas already has his guy - someone who "shares his philosophy."

Yep, and also a likable great kid...happy for him. And it's fitting to have Zach picked as an All-Star on what would have been Flip's 66th birthday...Flip really believed in this kid coming out of college and made a lottery pick out of a player who only started one college game (WTF was Steve Alford thinking?) and averaged 9.4 PPG.

Now a cynic might say that Zach is the prototypical all-star game player ;) ...

Stevens isn't going anywhere... unless there's a lot of unreported drama behind the scenes.

He's made 3 ECFs in 4 seasons... it's a goofy Covid season. They lost Hayward for nothing. Smart is out. Walker has struggled.

Can we trade DLO for Zach please?

Apparently not, since Camden said no (haha)...

Walker has hit that age 30 mark where it seems like a lot of PGs really start to decline - Westbrook, Teague, and Rubio being three others off the top of my head.

I kind of saw some slippage in Milwaukee last night, despite the blowout. May be it was because they were playing us, but I was not impressed by their defense. I thought the recent games against the Knicks and Lakers were big contrasts in terms of defensive intensity by the opponent.

Bottom line is that Philly seems like the most well-rounded team in the conference and Brooklyn can probably just outscore anyone they play. Not sure if Milwaukee or Boston quite have enough juice this year to win the East.
