Heat, Bulls, Magic, Knicks.
Magic will self destruct and any team with Hedo on it, isn't going far.

Yes.


Every time I watch Shaun Livingston jump, I think he is going to die again.

Who does Livingston play for?

Norris Cole looks good tonight. He plays with confidence and will get plenty of opportunities the the Heat.

Milwaukee. Watching their game on League Pass with the Wolves.

And yeah, Norris is playing really, really well.

I wouldnt be surprised to see Norris Cole starting over Chalmers in the very near future. Kid can shoot better and crashes the boards better.

Chalmers started the 2nd half with 4 TO's in like 2 min.

Yeah, Chalmers is a bad fit for the Heat. Cole seems to be a solid one. I know in college he did everything well, and while he wont be needed to do it all for the Heat, at least he isnt a liability. If teams neglect him he can burn them. Not so much with Chalmers.

I can't believe I am saying this...

But the Lakers could use Sasha Vujacic.

It's not Blake I'm worried about...

It's the lack of ANYTHING behind Kobe.

Kobe is a shell of himself. And he still can't close, see the Bulls game 2 days ago.

Kobe has had 14 seasons playing in the playoffs which ranks him 2nd....who is first? Kidd? Garnett? Juwan? Duncan?

IDK who it is, but it's not Timmy. The Spurs missed the playoffs in 2000.
