No one was questioning Chris Paul's health when he had 32 and 9 in 37 minutes in Game 1 with P.J. Tucker guarding him. Then, in Game 2, the Bucks put Jrue Holiday on him. Chris Paul doesn't have a health or injury problem. He has a Jrue Holiday problem.

I know it's their thing, but the Sixers fans' constant booing of their own team today seems a bit much. It's Game 1. Yeah, they're struggling. You also won 28 games 2 years ago.

And, btw, this is no knock on Chris Paul. For my money, Jrue Holiday is the best guard defender in the league. He's one of the few guys who you can see noticeably affect even the best guards in the NBA. And when the Bucks have Jrue on Devin Booker, Booker's production drops too!

This makes me sad, for a variety of reasons, but mostly because he was such a critical part of this Warriors run and wrote an entirely new narrative for his career. Any contender should try to scoop him up; @ShaunLivingston 's presence alone is worth it.

Sources: Warriors are waiving guard Shaun Livingston, who is guaranteed $2M of his $7.7M salary for season. Livingston, 33, is determined to continue playing and becomes one more valuable free agent candidate for contenders. He’s won three NBA titles and reached five Finals.

Bradley Beal's past 10 games: 35.7 ppg, 6.0 apg, 4.4 rpg, 1.1 spg, 50% FG, 35.8% 3FG, 85.7% FT. But he's not an All-Star because a team that was recently starting the likes of Gary Payton II, Isaac Bonga and Ian Mahinmi doesn't have a winning record. OK.

Super slow-mo has totally changed the notion of what it means to knock a ball out of bounds. Happened in the Final Four last year and in a big playoff game (can someone remind me which one?). The rule needs to change to — as Breen said — who caused it to go out.

I can’t believe I need to say this, but some UNC fans seem mad/defensive. So: UNC is doing nothing wrong. Lots of programs have old players. The point is 1) This is just wild — especially for the Thunder! 2) The NCAA shouldn’t allow players in their mid-20s to play college ball.
