What we're clicking: Warriors get 50, Mike Conley free agency, the Vancouver Grizzlies...

* The Warriors became the fastest team to 50 wins after beating the Atlanta Hawks last night. If the regular season came to an end today, 2015-16 Golden State would have the best winning percentage in NBA history. The 2015-16 Spurs would be at No. 6 and very close to No. 3. This is a special NBA season, so enjoy it.

* Former Grizzlies head coach Lionel Hollins says Mike Conley wants to get paid. He’s the top point guard of the 2016 free agent class, so he should have no trouble cashing in big.

* Awkward: Donatas Motiejunas is back with the Houston Rockets after his trade to Detroit was voided.

* Listen: Jeanie Buss talks about the state of the Lakers.

* Dirk Nowitzki is a quote machine.

* Michael Lee, formerly at the Washington Post, spent four days with Wizards guard John Wall and wrote this.

* Bed bugs > Kyrie Irving.

* DeMar DeRozan is the winningest Raptor ever.

* Mike Bibby, Shareef Abdur-Rahim and others talk about the demise of the Vancouver Grizzlies. Did they give up too early?

* JJ Redick has a very interesting conversation with Kyle Lowry (which includes a HoopsHype shout-out). Aside from many other qualities, Redick has great voice and diction.

* Lamar Odom is doing better.

* Delonte West is not doing well. A reminder that it’s not OK to make fun of people dealing with mental illness.

* ESPN’s Amin Elhassan with an incredible anecdote involving Big Aristotle and Biggie Smalls.

* Sixers’ Robert Covington and Carl Landry don’t know the first thing about rock music.
