That's an oft-repeated refrain from people who don't watch the NBA. Pretty meaningful, and exciting, double OT game tonight between Denver and Nawlins, which is fighting OKC for playoff spot; New Orleans lost, but Anthony Davis 36 points, 14 rebounds, 7 assists, 9 blocks. Ridiculous talent in that game.
Earlier, excellent game between the Bulls and Thunder, exciting 2-point win for Houston at the Clippers, Cavs hit 18 or 35 threes against a meh Orlando team, Kyrie Irving follows up 57-point game the other night with 33 (12-15 from the field), JR Swish 25 points, LBJ 13 assists, great team play.
No doubt guys pick and choose their spots to pace themselves and deal with an 82-game regular season so they'll be ready for up to another two months of post-season, but if you watch the NBA, you'll see the greatest players from around the world playing the game at an amazingly high level night in, night out.
