Those two teams are not good.
Why do you think I pointed out the individual performances :)

James tortured Cleveland fans two years ago when he kept the city on edge before announcing his decision. He was asked if he has put Miami on a "clock."
"I don't know, I'm already on LeBron watch. For the most part, everything I do is the LeBron watch. But like I said, my mindset is on this season. My mindset is on helping this team win a championship and as a team get better every day," he said. "I'm looking forward to getting back to Miami and seeing the fans."

Sounds to me like Lebron's mindset is on "please like me Cleveland"


Not long after he and the Heat left Quicken Loans Arena after their shootaround, bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in to sweep the areas near the Miami's locker room. Asked if this was routine for every game, a police officer said, "No, just for that (expletive)."

It can only be the dunk of the year if Lebron says it is.

Lin looks great today. Highly entertaining game. JR Smith looks like a great pick up thus far for the NYK.

How'd they swoop Smith up? I'm sure others would have taken him.

Free Agent. They signed him. He had played ball in China during the lockout.

Makes sense. I know he has some issues but when he good, he good.

He was a FA free to sign with whatever team he wanted. I think it was between the Clippers and NYK, NY could sign him for more money.

The Knicks offense looks completely different than when Carmelo is on the floor for them. Movement, dribble penetration, making the extra pass, all of that will stop once Carmelo comes back.

Knicks storm back. Now up 9. Novak on fire!!! Lin just hit a 3 in dirks face.
J.R. Smith has been bad, but he will get it back. He's too hyped and can't calm himself down.

Have you been watching. He's hit either nothing or all backboard at least 5 times. Lol
