They couldnt keep playing together though I had thought

Sandy D · #90 02-25-2014

Cant believe no big trades this year at all.

Thought we would see the Bulls, Thunder, Mavs make some moves.

Bulls got a deal with Turner but still not enough.

rsot · #91 02-25-2014

Lot of teams seem to have just given up on this season

The pacers got turner, not the bulls.

My money is on Indiana this year or the thunder.

Sorry you are correct. I think it was a deal as Granger is very lazy and Turner is not.

Thunder wont go anywhere, they need another solid player and just lost Perkins.

Indiana needs a big man, Hibbert cannot handle most centers on good teams.

Indiana is still not set

Heat vs Pacers is a lock in the East. The East sucks overall. The West is another story. Lots of potential upsets based on Matchups. I am a Warriors fan if the face certain teams (Clippers, Portland, Phoneix) they could advance. Rocket, Thunder, Spurs all prove different issues to different teams. I don't see any clear cut teams in the West. If Memphis get back in and Gasol is healthy that could be a hell of a problem for some teams.

The West really is the Wild West. I like certain teams but each team has such different strengths. You might as well just flip a coin. With my Warriors it is all about how healthy will Bogut be.

Would like to see Toronto do something special hah

Didn't realize Toronto even had a winning record. Had to look at the roster I wasn't sure who was even on the team.

rsot · #98 03-01-2014

32-26 as of date...top of the Atlantic conference but...in the East, which - as you stated - does suck overall

nyc · #99 03-01-2014

The raptors are cold. Valuncianias, Ross, derozan, Lowry.

I agree. Heat and Pacers and in the west going to be hard to beat out the Spurs or the Thunder. Portland is a key player away yet.

GS does not have enough rebounding strong men to get deep into the playoffs. Hitting 3s all game long does not win championships.

You are Absolutely right about that one. Andrew Bogut would have to be able to play significant time. When he actually plays they are a different team.

The West is going to be wild. The Rockets have a ton of talent. They could be the wild card in the whole thing. I still won't even count out the Mavericks. They surprised everyone a few years ago by winning. As long as they have Dirk they could go on a run as well.

My guess is even the first round with the 1 playing 8 seed and 2 playing 7 seed in the West are going to be 6 game series. Heat and Pacers will probably sweep their respective series.

Pacers can beat the Heat in a long series. IF Wade cannot play without being hurt. Having Oden gives the Heat that big bruiser in the middle that can take up space.

I believe a three peat is coming unless someone gets real lucky.

Pacers shutting down the Heat to come out of the East would be something special.

Would be hard to do I think. If Wade gets injured again or they lose someone it would be the only way.

He is the closest thing to Jordon.

Has more skills then Jordon just need to put up more years of doing what he is doing to get up there.

If his health is good, 3-4 more years and I see him being as equal if not passing MJ.

And I always said no other player in NBA history did what MJ did overall.

Then comes Lebron.

Bigger, stronger, more physical, great defense etc. Total package.

Had he left Cleveland 2 year earlier he would have been moving right up to being close already. Staying there has hurt him.
