tremendous talent Detroit is dysfunctional and run by morons, though. He might never be a top player again.
The Nets can win the East, I really believe it now. I would give them a 20% chance right now, its not high but its a lot higher than what it was back in December.
win East: Miami 50% Indiana 40% Nets 5% Bulls 5% everyone else: 0% I'd bet any amount of money at virtually any odds that Toronto, Washington, Charlotte, and Atlanta don't win the East
The Heat remind me of the Lakers in 2011 when they tried for the 4th straight finals after repeating, the Lakers looked like the favorites all year/best team, and out of nowhere the Mavericks took em out. I think the Heat are headed down a similar road and will not be making the NBA finals for a fourth straight year.
Nets have a better chance than the Bulls, they have a combo of "superstars" and veterans that can play at a much higher level than any player on the bulls (other than Noah perhaps)
yup, making the finals 4 straight years hasn't happened in a long time, even with certain teams taking the majority of the titles in the last 20-25 years. It is interesting though because Kobe wasn't the best player in the NBA in 2010-2011 when the Lakers were trying for 4 straight, but Lebron is definitely the best player which adds a wildcard factor. He hasn't really all out that often, so come playoff time it will be interesting if the Heat in general have that next gear, or they're physically and mentally worn out.
Lebron drives on Portland goes left handed for the GW layup with 11 seconds left. POR comes back down 2 and Lillard gets the ball drives and to the hoop only to get blocked by Bosh. Miami wins in Miami
So what order do you guys think the draft will go? Let's assume the top 3 are the Bucks, 76ers, and Magic.
Displaced I feel like you're always online when I'm online. Kinda weird. Anyway, I can't wait for the playoffs. I think pretty much every series is going to be great, except the first Indiana, and Miami sets. I just don't want the fantasy season to be over. Fantasy basketball has been my crutch for Fantasy football being over. Now all I have to play around with is Fantasy NASCAR. So..yeah.
Heh, I'm on quite often so that might be it. Yeah, the NBA playoffs are a ton of fun. The schedule is just the most annoying part, and of course some 1st round matchups since they are 7 game series now. I have no idea about the draft haha. From what I've read, if the right freshman come out, it's a very strong draft class. It's kind of amazing PHI lost 24 in a row and haven't caught up to the Bucks for the worst record in the NBA.
I think all teams take BPA but there are some really high profile players starting with Wiggins, Parker, Randle, Embiid, and then you got an Australian guy by the name of Dante Exum who I feel will be the best. Lets just say if you have a top 5 pick, you have decent chance at drafting a player that can represent your franchise.
I never heard it before Te'o. Then people referenced a movie called Catfish and I guess after the movie it became a verb.
