It's probably not much better. There's certainly some oreb opportunities but he rarely passes out of the post. Some of that's on him but the entire team just stands around and doesn't move, which makes things even worse.

Was about to type this is probably 1st time #1 vs #2 of MVP playing in rd 1 but I believe Nash/Kobe in '06 fit that criteria.

Jazz have moved way lower so looks like a lot of people agree with you Mullen. Obviously not going to do it now at the old price.

Lakers have a lot of potential. I'd say knicks are drawing dead but porzingis might be a league MVP at some point so they have some bink equity.

LOL DRUMMOND, LOL SVG

He's just garbage huh. Would be a goods scorer off the bench I guess.

Yeah more I think about it that series reminds me a lot of Raps/Pacers last year. 1 team definitely has the best player in the series and the other team is clearly better but has no playoff resume, Celts should win and Bulls have all these flaws but that's just a big price if you have by far the best guy.

With Wade back, Bulls have to sortout the Rondo/Wade stuff again which probably won't be pretty (Wade off the bench seems like the obv solution but doubt that is happening)

Still feels like that can be a competitive series.

All good, I like the Wiz there as well anyway, so it wouldn't have mattered. Jazz/Clips gonna be a real fun series imo

Kobe finished 4th in '06, Bron/Dirk finished 2/3.

Tony Allen got hurt last night and is out indefinitely.

Don't feel like re-litigating the whole "to sit or not to sit" thing but pretty sure Grizz should be sitting their 35 year old starting SG in a meaningless game.

TA on Kawhi was only reason to watch a minute of that too.

Ron Hennigan, the awful GM of the Magic just got fired.
His fwas hired in 2012 and his first move he made after the 2012 NBA draft was

July 11, 2012: Traded Ryan Anderson to the New Orleans Hornets for Gustavo Ayon

It's the least talked about terrible trade in recent history and still is mind boggling to this day.

He was like damn, **** a stretch 4. that's how a 30 year old GM started his work, lol his analytics

"We have a good chance to win it all," James said Thursday following the Cavs' first practice since learning the Indiana Pacers would be their first-round opponent (Game 1, Saturday, 3 p.m. ET, ABC).

What gives James so much confidence as he seeks to secure his seventh straight trip to the NBA Finals?

"I've got the answer," James said. "I'm not giving it to you. But I've got the answer why I feel like we've got a great chance."

He's such a vaguebooking attentionwhore. Unreal. Literally no difference between him and a 15 year-old girl

Ya, when a team acts like their recent struggles aren't real I get far more suspicious than if they said they have a lot of work to do.

wtf is he supposed to say? The answer is that he is still the best player on the planet and will give them a great chance to win it all. If he says "We have a great chance to win it all because I am the best player in the world and that helps a lot in the NBA Playoffs" people will just call him arrogant. But in reality that it exactly why they have a great chance to win the title.

I believe he said he had a secret reason for wanting to win that he would "reveal" in the 2015 finals vs GS. But they lost.

I hope Anthony refuses every trade and screws PJax for the entire duration of his contract.

It's incredible how PJax has managed in the nearly-impossible task of making Anthony somewhat likable.
