props to cuban for tearing apart this "wanted it more", "played harder" etc. bullshit apart
(edit: it's not embedding for some reason)
marion et al really locked down james-- pushing him out to the perimeter last year (more amazing thinking about it now given marions age) and yes, the thunder's inability to adjust defensively killed them.
For me, the conference finals and the finals really saved the season. I remember not enjoying the NBA as much as I had in the past until then. Might have just been me though...

Been a while since I paid attention to EVERY Conference Finals game. Really competitive and unpredictable post-season in general.

Thunder made a come up.
Sessions helped the Lakers.
Indiana got way better.
Memphis did their thang.
San Antonio went bazerk for a long minute.
LeBron had a crazy season
Clippers got better
Boston held back father time
Kyrie Irving is the truth
Dwight Howard cant lead a group
Dallas is waiting for the offseason
PHILADELPHIA HAD A INSPIRING RUN
LINSANITY/ D'An-phony
A gang of entertaining shit happened this year. You cats that didnt pay attention, fall back.
Well, you listed some good stuff. But mostly yawn. So Dallas waiting for an off season and Dwight Howard can't lead a group equals good basketball? Here's another big one on the negative: Injuries.

Yes.
Dallas traded away Chandler and has been making cap space to acquire new talent to take Dork into his latter years.
Do you realize the impact Deron Williams would have on the West race and Dallas' future?
They wont fade of after winning the chip last year.
After years of being hyped as the new Big Man/Center, Howard aint really the offensive engine folks thought he could be.
Where he ends up makes a large impact on both coasts.
He showed is ass during the trade deadline and then faked an injury to hide out for the rest of the season after killing his goods guy happy go lucky image. Orlando might shrivel up or turn a new leaf depending on what happens next.
I find that drama important to how teams build and look in the future.

Deron Williams alone won't be enough....they still need to replace Chandler in the middle and that won't be easy.

Camby & KMart are too old
Kwame Brown sucks.
Chris Kaman and Kris Humphries = Meh
Joel Pryzbilla & Jamaal Magloire = No Thank You
Maybe they can pry DeAndre Jordan from the Clippers or Javelle McGee from the Wizards???

I don't think the Clippers want to mess with their front court and McGee got traded to Denver already where he actually played well for a headcase.

I dont think they have the money to add on anyone after CP3 and Griffin get paid. I think they could get plucked by teams with more money and minutes.
Gonna be another long and interesting season for LA.
What Nash will do:
1) Create better offensive motion
2) Knock down open threes
3) Create for others
4) Do the pick and roll with precision
5) Good lock room vibe
What Nash will not do:
1) Play defense
2) Be able to stop Russell Westbrook
3) Provide solid perimeter defense
4) Get better as a player (read: past his prime)
5) matchup well with fast PGs for 48 minutes
In short, the Lakers will fall short again, if they don't get Howard in a surprise mega-deal.
This Olympic team would beat the living shit out of The Dream Team. Who the hell would Bad Back Bird guard? Carmelo? Lol. Westbrook would drop 50 on Magic and Stockton. Old dudes bitter because Kobe called them out

I know i know. Jordan turned water into wine.....blah blah blah
Well, besides the fact that Jordan is the GOAT, there's also:
*What do they have to go against Ewing/Robinson/Malone/Barkley in the post? Tyson Chandler (who's a better help defender than post defender) and...? Remember how the Grizzlies trashed the Spurs in the playoffs two seasons ago by riding Gasol The Lesser and Z-Bo in the post?
*Name a guard John Stockton didn't carve up
*Who is Carmelo gonna guard? Anybody at all?
*Team ball vs. hero ball
I'd love to watch the games, but OG Dream Team would take 'em.

Magic was never able to defend quick guards...westbrook is faster than any guard Magic had ever played against. Nevermind the fact Magic hadnt played in a year
Bad Back Bird vs Lebron ...yea, ok
29 year old Jordan still had a suspect jumper...He's not gettin past Lebron as easy as he did the Angolans
Durant and Love would shoot over Barkley all day
Chandler would do a decent job vs Robinson...Robinson was a mid-post player
Mullin and Ewing were slow as shit
Stockton vs Westbrook...yea, ok
Malone and Melo is a wash
Pippen would shut Kobe down...not Lebron
The dream team was able to run against the competition in 92....not this sqaud
The Dream team was a great team but they were too slow to beat this olympic team. International rules favor faster, better shooting teams

I hope Seattle doesn't spend another 200,000,000 dollars to buy back into this league.
this is great. cuban servin' them simpletons.

Agreed....and deep enough for the Mavs to pull someone at 17
Hoping for Mo Harkless or Perry Jones
and is trying to get Grant Hill to join him.
Holy shit.
Nash Kobe Grant or Artest who they might dump, Gasol and Bynum........
Old but seasoned......lets see how young the bench will be.
The Pacers need to withold Hibbert. dude is not a a max player.
Portland is overpaying. He's still a little goofy, but i still want to retain him.
Fuck Howard.
1) Still won't be able to stop any opposing point gaurds
2) They're coach still sucks
If Magic was right during the playoffs #2 might be fixed before the start of the new season
Goddammit. Why, Nash? Now you're a bad guy.
at last Suns got picks and cash out of it
What Nash will do:
1) Create better offensive motion
2) Knock down open threes
3) Create for others
4) Do the pick and roll with precision
5) Good lock room vibe

Bottom line, defense wins games (see Miami)

I'd love to watch the games, but OG Dream Team would take 'em.
Malone and Barkley > Griiffin, Bosh and Davis.
Jordan Prime > Old Kobe
Only Lebron and Durant are factors.
Westbrook would be forced to think, which he cant do.
Fuck the rest of these kids.
I want some of what you've been smoking
