Season-in-Review: Tristan Thompson
Veteran Big Man Battled Injury Bug but Packed a Punch in Limited Action Veteran Big Man Battled Injury Bug but Packed a Punch in Limited Action by Joe Gabriele (@CavsJoeG) 5/1/19 | Cavs.com Season Overview: Tristan Thompson’s truncated 2018-19 Season wasn’t quite as frustrating as Kevin Love’s, but it’s still tempting to wonder what might have been had he been healthy for the entire campaign.

Cavaliers, Wizards Both Pass Major Regular Season Test
There are many things to say about Monday night in D.C., but most importantly, it was as good as the NBA regular season gets. There were John Wall MVP chants, Bradley Beal went for 41 points, and the Wizards matched Cleveland shot-for-shot until it looked like they'd won it at the end. Then after trading blows down the stretch, LeBron James banked in a three, falling out of bounds, to tie it in the final second.
Bradley Beal And The Wizards Are Very Much Alive
For the first month of the NBA season, the Wizards had no bench, the stars had no chemistry, and there was not much flexibility for the future. The closer you looked, the darker it got. Even October's measured optimism looked ridiculous by the end of November. And to understand what changed since then—the Wizards have won nine of 13 games, and look suspiciously competent in the East—it helps to start at rock bottom. The Wizards were on the road against OKC on Nov.

J.J. Redick thinks DeAndre Jordan is actually right-handed
DeAndre Jordan is a bad free throw shooter. He is so bad that some team’s base their entire game plan on making him shoot a bunch of free throws. But his sharpshooting teammate J.J. Redick has a theory about the big man that he thinks may improve his .425 free throw percentage. Redick told The Orange County Register that he believes the sinistral center is actually right-handed, and has been trying to convince him to switch his shooting for two years now.

NBA daily fantasy picks for Feb. 9 lineups
A total of 10 teams take the floor on Tuesday, with three of them—Miami, New York and Dallas—packing it in for the All-Star break at the end of the night. The other seven all have one game left after Tuesday, so this will not be your last chance to roster Steph Curry, James Harden or John Wall before watching them in the All-Star Game. There are merits to using all three of them, but one game in particular jumps out from a daily fantasy perspective on Tuesday’s slate.

Justin Bieber would beat Barack Obama in basketball: John Wall

Goran Dragic, Suns struggling to re-create last year's success
We find the Phoenix Suns more or less where last season left them. Tweaks to the roster haven't drastically altered the team's standing. Phoenix is still in the running for a playoff berth -- but only that. There are no greater aspirations to be indulged for a team aiming for incremental progress toward inclusion in the West's top eight. Such simple goals serve Phoenix well. The Suns' roster is built for flexibility more than contention, its roots laid last season as the first step in a long climb.
