“I should be an All-Star”
#Cavs Darius Garland told @clevelanddotcom he belongs in Salt Lake City for the 2023 NBA All-Star Game with teammate Donovan Mitchell. But will the NBA coaches agree? It’s a complicated question. Numbers are working against him

Paul George is looking forward to this upcoming trip testing the Clippers. He says there won’t be a night off playing six playoff level teams at Atlanta, Cleveland, Chicago, Milwaukee, Knicks and Nets. PG says the Clippers never fractured or chirped at one another during slump. – 1:40 AM

It’s not easy to shoot 58.8 % and still trail by 12 after one quarter. Rockets did it by taking just two 3s (making neither), committing six turnovers and missing five free throws. Giving up 11 second-chance points did not help. – 8:42 PM
