    Nah, you couldn't care less about the Cleveland Cavs. Them Cleveland Lebrons though...

    I've never done Fantasy Basketball, but I'd try it. Sure.

    I commend you for using "couldn't" rather than "could". It bothers me deeply when people fail to realize the difference.

    Cleveland won, but I see opportunities for the Bulls to win in a series in the playoffs

    Yep. Also need to clean up those defensive rebounds better. They can do that though and they will.

    One thing I want to point out, Kyrie Irving cannot defend Derrick Rose at all. I thought the bashing of Irving's D was over stated this off-season, but holy crap he doesn't have a clue. And Rose looks really good already, which is pretty surprising to me.

    If Isiah Thomas continues this form, he's likely the prime candidate for 6th Man.

    Do the Thunder make the playoffs with Durant and Westbrook out? I mean they'll both miss about 20 games. They'll probably need about 50 games to reach the 8th seed. It would be a shocker. Also you can take Durant out of the MVP race.

    Didn't even consider the possibility of them missing the playoffs. Interesting thought. My guess is Durant rushes back somewhat to keep them in this and the playoff hopes lie on how lucky he gets by coming back a bit early.

    Well last year you needed 49 wins and this year the West looks even better. Now if they go 20 games without the two, and they go 5-15 (which isn't unrealistic, considering they have 8 eligable players), they'd need like a 45-17 run - which isn't impossible, but that would put them at the eight seed.

    Players have missed an entire season rushing back from a broken foot. Bill Simmons had him taking his time and coming back in February - but with Westbrook down, he'll likely be playing this year. Same goes for Westbrook.

    Thunder will make it I think, bulls full force can beat cavs full force imo as Butler is the best lebron 'stopper' in the league

    Hendrix, your attempt at acceptance is pathetic. No one will respect u or your thoughts here

    Isiah Thomas is a lock for 6th man if dude maintains a 20ppg average! Watching philly and bus now, hopefully 2 sides in the playoffs in a couple of years with their young cores

    In regards to harden thunder made the right choice. Westbrook and durant are their scoring non bigs and ibaka brings mid range game, boards and blocks

    If they signed harden up they would be much worse. Elite scorer but shit at everything else and on a big contract. Him and Dwight are soft

    True, but then again Rose can't guard Irving. But then again, who can?


    Your point stands. I'm just being annoying

    I think it's a bit soon to be the judge of how anything will happen. Individually and offensively Rose and Irving are IMO one of the top three offensive PG's, the other one being Westbrook. Cleveland will need time to get accustomed to what's happening, so we'll probably get to see them at full strenght after the All-Star weekend. An expected result though is Love's scoring going down. I alway said he could never do anything on his own, but he's probably one of the best 2nd stars to have on your team.

    Also I know it's been one or two games for most teams, but IMO GSW will have the best offence in the league. Kerr is optimizing their offence and with the Clippers having early season struggles with their rotation (and effort) they just look as the safe bet at this time.

    Don't think Irving was scoring much on Rose. Irving was lost every time he was on Rose.

    Fans at NBA games are the least obnoxious of all major sports. I barely hear my PA guy at the games (kings) the timeout entertaining is a joke but sometimes it can be funny.

    Depends on what our respective definitions of obnoxiousness is. I find NBA fans the worst because the last two Rockets games I've attended, I've wanted to dropkick the people nearby me because of the utterly retarded things that came out their mouths.
