Doesn't history dictate a likelyhood of this happening. Don't get me wrong, I'm hoping for the Heat to make the finals. I actually am banking on them winning the East.

You have more confidence than I do. I think they can make the ECF but as of now I have their season probably ending in round 2 which will be fine with me..........I wouldn't be disappointed or anything

Who do you have as being better than Miami in the East? I have Cleveland and probably Chicago. Although, both of those teams could underperform. Chicago with Rose and Cavs with Kyrie and LeBron appearing to have back issues... I could see a scenario even this season where Miami takes the East. Don't get me wrong the Hawks or Raptors will probably be solid, I just don't see them as real threats in the East.

Chicago and Cleveland.....I think we end up playing Chicago in round 2

Chicago and Cleveland, that's it.

I like the Wizards too.

But, I don't necessarily see them finishing higher than the Heat.

The East is very fluid.

Not much separates Teams 3-6, imo

Kevin Love looks like a freakin hippy

 

[bksballer89]

Solid quarter for Whiteside

 

[The Derski]

Seriously Love looks like he should be selling hemp clothing in some shack on the beach

 

[bksballer89]

OKC down 12 to Orlando

 

[bksballer89]

Cleveland up 5 at the half.

Orlando up 14 on OKC at the half

Philly getting smacked

 

[wildturkey]

I need some good games to lift my spirits after ESPN shut down Grantland today. Fucking bullshit. They had the best NBA coverage on the net. Zach Lowe is obviously da gawd but the others were entertaining as well. If anyone knows where those guys are writing next, let me know ASAP

 

[OutlawImmortal]

Antetokounmpo and Monroe are going to be fun to watch this year.

 

[Mecca]

I feel sorry for Okafor.

It's gonna be another long year in Philly.

Westbrook has been putrid do far vs. the Magic.

But. Can Olidipo and Vuvecic keep this up?

3 years straight of this garbage in Philly

The Magic are schooling the Thunder.

bskballer- are you watching the Cavs Heat game? just so you know thats a little bit of what Thompson can do besides just rebounding. 3 alley oops that he skies over the defense and finishes from Delly.

Delly is outplaying Dragic. Very surprised the Cavs are leading by this much when they have been so poor from 3. Love and LeBron are both playing outstanding though. Love has been a monster thus far this season.

Breaking News:

Philly sucks

 

[WiggyRuss]

wow Thompson just stuffed Bosh- that was ridiculous. Cavs have got this one in the bag. I am surprised the score is what it is with the Cavs being 5-22 from 3. Delly and Thompson and Varejao have all played really well off the bench.

Love and LeBron are both playing like the All Stars they are.

 

[WiggyRuss]

whiteside just stuffed thompson back....deng has looked pretty spry tonight.. Whiteside has played pretty well besides that one stretch i nthe third against Mozgov....man- what a get from just street free agency on whiteside. Gerald Green was really hot on opening night and then ice cold tonight- i imagine thats how thatll be...Wade looks good- but then again Wade looked good every time he played the Cavs last year. amare looks COOKED. Bosh is still a borderline top 20 guy...such a good player.

He's going for the Sons of Anarchy look.

Scott Skiles is a really good coach. I think they can do some good things....its just that he wears on you after a couple years....but for a young group like that I thought Skiles was a great hire.
