Yes, I actually do.

1. the Cavs team with Irving/Thompson/Waiters/Gee/Bennett etc are a better supporting cast now that what he had when he played for them. Wade did slow down so he's not the main guy there anymore and now everyone knows what lebron can do with a good supporting cast so they can join him in Cleveland.

2. IMO I think Lebron is the type of guy that would want to win a championship for Cleveland in his prime. He always talk about how he loves Cleveland and his hometown etc etc. I don't even remember the last time the cavs have won a championship so I'm sure he wants to do that.

I would actually be surprised if he doesn't.

They shouldve just offered a 1yr contract

Irving/Waiters/Gee/Thompson/Bynum --- Bennett/Zeller/Jack/Miles then trade Varejao for a swingman

Bosh... Who cares about this guy...lol. I don't see him leaving Miami next year as I don't see any other team that would pay him 20m and 22mill a year if he opts out

Miami core is not going anywhere unless something catastrophic happens. Melo is a maybe depends on how the season pans out. Lakers's best bet is landing a great pick.

Whatever Bron said about playing for his hometown is not very relevant. You should realize how difficult it is to assemble a team capable of winning multi-championships like Miami and not one-hit wonders.

It's pretty obvious wade/bosh will not leave. Who else would pay them the amount they'll make in miami for the remainder of their contract lol

And as for building a championship...it's easy to do if u have wade/James/bosh and players taking discounts to try and get a championship.

You don't think nobody would take discounts to play with lebron,Irving,Thompson etc if LBJ moved back? Without lebron, Miami is nothing as wade has slowed down tremendously and bosh is inconsistent. They'll be a playoff team but that's it

If lebron doesn't opt out then I definitely see him leaving after his contract is up

I'm not hating but just my opinion

Edit: why are we even talking about this lol. It's so far from today. Who knows. Maybe he'll wind up in Brooklyn and his buddy Jay Z lol

Dwight continues to amaze me, obviously he's a genuinely nice guy, but just as stupid and uninformed, I really wonder what his circle of entourage looks like, bunch of fuckin yes men.... his court mentality is he's still stuck in that prime Orlando Finals Dwight where he could just jerk off in the low post all game long and they would spoon feed him
and because his whole world revolves around this, he's out there looking for another Orlando Magic, another team that will make him the center of not just attention every single second he's on the floor...... NBA doesn't work like that for the most part bro, grow the fuck up and you'll start winning chips.... like Shaq said, "the day I stopped caring.... I started winning chips"


really excited about Doc coaching Clippers, excited they dumped Chauncey he was done last year, NOT at all liking the fact they gave up Bledsoe, makes no sense as their #1 priority for a while has been is to have an elite perimeter defender, and they had that in Bledsoe... so to get rid of him to acquire another shooter when they really don't need help shooting or scoring the fuckin ball, it's an obviously wrong move....

I FINALLY FINALLY hope now that D'Andre Jordan can get his shit together and be a solid double double guy like Asik was in Houston this year, this is exactly what the Clippers need for them to make a deep playoff run.... Vinny fcked with Jordan's minutes constantly so hopefully Doc lets him loose

Bledsoe was gone after this season, they had to get some good value for him while they could....Reddick and Dudley are great players and will be big pieces for their deep run. Great trade IMO. Reddick is a smart player and a dead-eye shooter, while Dudley is an athletic wing who is solid defensively.

Agreed.. How could any clipper fan not like this trade at all.. Reddick/Dudley instantly made them better than what Bledsoe would IMO.

Reddick is a smart player and a dead-eye shooter, while Dudley is an athletic wing who is solid defensively.

I do agree that both Reddick and Dudley are solid pros, but in a PG's league where the difference in winning and losing on most nights boils down to holding the opposing team's PG under control.... to have a guy like Bledsoe coming in when Chris checks out, the constant harassment all game long of the other team's PG's, unmatched, last season there wasn't a 2 guard defensive punch as sick as these 2 guys and what they did to teams nightly basis. There's a reason Bledsoe earned the nickname mini LeBron....
you know what though, as bummed out as I am about him leaving, I'm really looking forward to seeing him finally get some more minutes.

I just hope that they can at least get some sort of defensive scheme going this season where it's a team effort, I have faith in Doc.... I know all too well about offensively talented teams who won't or can't play defense, that being their downfall, I'm playing on a team like that right now currently, lol

Bledsoe wasn't gonna get the minutes behind Chris and they won't be able to keep him next season, getting ANYTHING back was better than letting him walk. JJ can heat up from beyond the arc and he has gotten stronger over the years. Dudley can still play too.

It's a low risk high reward type of signing.. that's about it.

I know the lakers are getting older now so I wish they would "tank" the season (it's weird using lakers and tank on the same sentence) and maybe get lucky then nab either Wiggins or Parker.
Kobe should just get healthy and he can still be effective in 2014/2015 season...

Then perhaps have Kobe give Paul George a call ;)

He's a shooter that can't make a shot....he wasn't a freshman coming out so his potential was most likely realised in college, and he doesn't do anything else great. Plus he was injured and Kahn loaded the team with swingmen and guards.

The Lakers should find a way to injure both Gasol and Nash, pay Kobe some extra under the table money and convince him they'll go get Lebron/Melo, and let Nick Young be PG so he can shoot first on all possessions. And give Sacre shitloads of minutes. They need to be in the top 5 in the coming draft. According to Chad Ford there are like 7 tier 1 guys (multi-time all stars/superstars)

Some examples:
Wiggins (obviously)
Jabari Parker
Harrison Twins
Aaron Gordon (Griffin 2.0)

I'm surprised Julius Randle isn't on that list.. this guy is a BEAST! I could see him going top 3 (maybe even 2 surpassing Parker).. I also like Gordon's game.. the guy can dunk/dribble/pass.. It'd probably go Wiggins - randle - parker or smart... one thing is for sure, this draft is gonnna be a good one.. there's also that Marcus Smart kid...

The raptors should try to get both twins..lol... they can have the basketball version of the sedin twins :P

As for paying Kobe extra under the table...lol. they are already paying him 30million :P I like Nick Young but one downside for him is consistency.. if he's on, he could light it up.. if not, he shits the bed bigtime. With the young talent we both mentioned next year...I'd gladly take a tank from the lakers next season :P

I like Nick Young but one downside for him is consistency.. if he's on, he could light it up.. if not, he shits the bed bigtime.

You mean when he's missing, he still keeps shooting? Sounds familiar...

League owned Hornets so they could do whatever the fuck they want.... Lakers would have got the best player, saved 10s of millions of dollars without having to give up a draft pick.

And then they could have traded for Howard still....frustrating from a Lakers fan perspective but yeah you can see why they veto'd it....

League owned Hornets means that all the other owners of every other team were all part owners of the Hornets. The trade put the Hornets well over the cap, meaning all these people who don't give a flying fuck about the Hornets would have to pay a tax, while watching the Lakers get better??...Yeah...not happening...

you might have also forgotten than Jordan is 6'6", black, and oh yeah, the best that's ever played the game. I don't think age is relevant factor for dunking for this guy.

I could dunk till I was in my early 20's, I def can't anymore at 30 because I got fat and rarely use those muscles but I wouldn't mind another 6 inches. Plz no "that's what she said".

Moment like this remind me how awesome the sonics used to be and how much fun the 90s and early 2000s nba were. Players could trash talk and celebrate without getting an automatic T or ejection. Defense was actually played, it was a man's game back then.

So here's a tribute to the sonics and the most dynamic duo in my bias mind, GP and reignman.

I like the cilpper game better, it is much cheaper too.
1 of the laker upper bowl row 2 corners are almost the same as 2 lower bowl row 5 at the baseline for the clipper game

For the Clipper game, you know something will happen with BG running down the court with CP3 and DJ; and it feels like the players are enjoying themselves. I actually want to watch them play and put on a show

Laker game was alright but I guess I paid just because I want to see the players in person.

Brandon Roy had knee surgeries on both knees way back in college and he rushed his return during his last injury with the Blazers, whereas this is Rose's first ever major surgery. With (more) modern tech, much greater care, Rose should be fine. Players have aches and pains all the time but it's just magnified with Rose (and in a much smaller case, Oden)

The difference between Roy's and Rose's has nothing to do with previous injuries, technology, rushing back, or anything else you mentioned....

...in fact, Roy's injury wasn't even so much of an injury as it was a disease....

Wow that's terrible. EA can't make a bball game and 2K can't make a hockey game. I wish 2K could make a hockey game like they do NBA 2K, EA's NHL series has been the same since 08. With no competition, they keep putting out bare minimum updates each year and we're forced to buy it to get our hockey fix :(

Also.. I'm glad that the nba finals format is now 2-2-1-1-1 rather than 2-3-2. This should make things better.

Now, I hope they have changed the seedings format as well. Last time an 8th seed beat the 1st seed, they went on to play the 4th seed in 2nd round while the 2nd seed had to play the 3rd.. that's just stupid! it's rare but it could happen :P

well yea...thats the rewards of beating the #1 seed
#1/#8 bracket are matched up with #4/#5 because of the assumption that #1 seed will win and will always match up with a lower seed throughout the playoffs
it would be retarded if they rearranged the brackets after the 1st round just cause of an upset

but yea going back to 2-2-1-1-1 for finals is great...imo previous format put too much pressure for #1 overall seed when they lose a home game in the first 2 games...a much higher chance of not playing on home court again haha

yes I have no intention of winning FT% but I am very happy with my team

I think quite a few people missed the draft, most notably "Van City's Team" with both Kobe and Westbrook who, even injured, are still the best picks on the team ... BUT if it wasn't auto and you actually drafted them HEY it could work, props to you for taking the gamble

Why would they always assume that #1 always beat #8...sure it's rare to see an upset in nba..but i think it's dumb personally.. if you come in 8th, you should have the hardest path to the finals.. thus having you face #2 or whoever is the highest seed after. but that's just my opinion

Yeah, I disagree...What about the 2nd seeded team? If I was the second seeded team, would I want to play the team that just knocked off the 1st seeded team? Hell no....Sounds to me like that's creating a harder path for the second seed....

Playoffs are all about who is hot at the end of the year. If the 8th seed knocks off the 1st seed, chances are that they peaked at the right time and second seed probably does not want to face them...

I guess my mindset is different lol

If say last yrs playoffs. The bucks upset the heat. Knicks get by the 7th seed. If I were the Knicks, I'd rather face the bucks than the pacers who sits 3rd

But that's just my opinion.

Lol, trust me...if the bucks upset the Heat, nobody would want to face them....It's easy to say now, but honestly think about how hot the Bucks would be if they upset the Heat....

even if they didnt trade harden last season westbrooks injury wouldnt have gotten them far.

If that was the line up for this year. I can see them meeting the Heat in finals again. This time is more personal with KD & wade and Harden vs Wade

There's a simple bug on the League Pass site, which does not restrict any non-subscribers from watching the direct links to already played games. As it blew up on reddit yesterday, I thought I'd share it with the best b-ball community, too. Been using it for quite a while and it works perfectly; however, it doesn't work for live games, but for Internationals like myself who only watch the games the morning after or whatever because they don't like to stay up all night, it's perfect.

So here's what you gotta do.

Here's an example link for the Knicks-Bulls game: http://nlds120.cdnl3nl.neulion.com/n...ole_1_3000.mp4

If you paste that link into the open stream function of your standard VLC or quicktime player, you are able to watch the game. Or if you're on mobile just click THIS LINK and try it out.

So, the link structures consist of the following

nlds120.cdnl3nl.neulion.com/nlds_vod/nba/vod/A/B/C/D/2_D_E_F_2013_h_whole_1_G.mp4.m3u8

A Year played
B Month
C Date played (If it's a day such as the 5th, enter 05)
D NBA League Pass ID (you can find that by hovering over the game you want to watch on NBA TV | NBA.com (http://watch.nba.com) , it will look like this one 21300018)
E Away team initials (you can find that on the NBA website)
F Home team initials (you can find that on the NBA website)
G Bitrate (These range from 400, 800, 1600, 3000, 4500 - from lowest quality to highest)

Hope some of you guys can watch some of your favourite teams because of this simple bug, which is basically a product of them being to lazy to fix it (believe me, it would be veryyy easy to fix and it has been like that for years).

GSW vs LAC http://nlds120.cdnl3nl.neulion.com/nlds_vod/nba/vod/2013/10/31/21300019/2_21300019_GSW_LAC_2013_h_whole_1_3000.mp4

Yes, in my draft i had it ordered to pick those 2 in that way. Westbrook I expected to be back very quickly and kobe, well let's just say it's a gamble i'm willing to take. In fact, Westbrook cleared to play and will be playing tonight. Things are starting to look a bit better for my fantasy squad.

Those were your first 2 picks? That's pretty bad....You could've scored Westbrook in 4th-5th round and Kobe in the 3rd-4th round.....It won't break your team, but defs not good picks if you did in fact take them 1st and 2nd.
