So the NBA is celebrating their "Rivalry Week" and tonight's headline ESPN games are Cleveland versus Charlotte, who have never met in the playoffs, and Milwaukee vs. OKC, who I guess had that one In-Season Tournament Finale.
Words used to mean things.

We're less than a month away from the trade deadline (Feb 5th) and there hasn't been a single move made. My guess is it's going to be a crazy couple of weeks ahead.
