Someone on Twitter mentioned the Heat (which I'm not sure that's plausible since they have Oden nearing a return). It seems like any interesting free agent is mentioned in the same sentence as the Heat these days.

Pretty much what the NBA has become, so I am not surprised. This is what turdo was jerking off to 3 seasons ago. I hope he is happy with the NBA, especially the eastern conference. LOL.

I wonder if the owners will opt out of the current CBA after the 2016/17 season. They have to know by now they are getting worked by the players.

As long as the revenue is tipped in their favor, I don't think they'll do shit.

Finally get to see a whole Sixers game and...

Turner is 2 for 13, 4 points.
Young is 0 for 7, 0 points.

MCW has 26 of their 74 points as they are getting bombed by the Cavs.

It won't change anything, but damn it would be amazing if the Pacers won the title. If they beat the Spurs or GSW maybe the GMs will become copycats and try to build teams. Doubtful, but we can hope and pray.

I haven't watched as much NBA this year....but do you agree with this or is ESPN trying to make a story?

By all measures, Durant's defense has been phenomenal this year, which was really the only missing piece. His offensive numbers have pretty much increased across the board, too. I don't think it's far fetched at all to call him the favorite.

I guess "clear" added a little bit of ???

Are there basketball metrics showing player value that is worth a damn....unlike some of baseball's

Apparently an NBA exec has gone on record saying the Wolves should trade Kevin Love because "everyone knows he wants to be a Laker."

Doesn't surprise me one bit considering the NBA.

Also Bynum cleared waivers.

Well then he shouldn't have signed his 4 yr contract extension. Wont win shit in LA either. Too soft and oft injured.

J.R. Smith is a fun guy.

Might be the biggest fucktard in pro sports, as far as just being the sort of stupid where you wonder if it's a huge attention-getting act or if he's just a flat out potato counter.

Jeff Van Gundy is just going nuts in this game....arguing like a 15 year old with his partner.

Decent game

Big shot for Cole.

After a great defensive possession by Livingston, he followed it up with a God awful one.

JVG has been the worst for years. Blessing in disguise that the Cavs are hardly ever on national TV anymore.
