Pacers basically traded Lance for Tyreke and Doug McBuckets.

I'm ok with this.

I think Indiana is the 3rd best team in the East atm. Raptors have not done shit but fire the coach that got them to 1st place last season.

Probably the right teams, although I wouldn't count out the Sixers over the Celtics now that they are a bit more seasoned.

But 4-0 straight sweep all day. Unless the Warriors go to sleep for a game just to make it interesting.

Doesn't matter either way. The Warriors have ruined the NBA. No one can play with them. If they put in the effort they could go undefeated. Seriously. People give Lebron shit for trying to form super teams yet everyone jumps on the Warriors bandwagon as they form a Beyond Plus Ultra team. Unless you try to form a super team elsewhere you have zero shot. And even if you do, you still only have like 1/10 shot AT BEST.

SUNS SIGN DEVIN BOOKER TO A 5 YEAR, 158 MILLION DOLLAR MAX CONTRACT

LeBron went to L.A. for the lifestyle. A super team they are not. Minus LeBron, Cavs are a lot better than the Lakers.

He gave up trying to beat the Warriors after the last 2 finals. Without a shot at winning, he choose to live in L.A. for family and business purposes. His championship days are over.

Nobody is beating the Warriors as long as they keep that team together. Houston had a shot, but they lost a starter in Ariza to the Suns, and while they lost a starter, Golden State added a 2 time First Team All Pro.

Assuming Cousins comes back healthy, while not QUITE as nuts as adding an M.V.P. to a 73 win team, adding a 2 time all pro to a 2 time defending championship team with 4 other all star starters, 2 of which are M.V.P.s, and a bench with another 2 former all stars AND a finals M.V.P. is pretty darn close to the most absurd thing in NBA history.

Hence why LeBron would rather stop beating his head against the wall trying to beat them, and instead wants to build his media empire in L.A.

It is more likely that the Browns WIN the Super Bowl than it is the Warriors not winning the title again.

"... and then you add Kurt Angle to the mix? <s>You</s> the chances of winning DRASTIC go down!"

As a long-suffering Cavs fan, I am fine with the slide back to mediocrity. Once again, this is an organization that has brought it upon themselves. Both times, LeBron bolted because they refused to actually go get other better players so that he doesn't have to carry the team by himself year after year after year. Hell, this season, the Cavaliers were barely expected to make the playoffs, let alone last all the way to another matchup with Golden State in the finals.

This, as opposed to Durant abandoning OKC to join the team he almost beat and an organization that was poised and willing to make some offseason moves that following year to become the "Warrior killers" that they were expected to become.

I'm fine with James going to LA. They actually acted like they want him. Cleveland can sit back, relax, and enjoy the time away from the spotlight and expectations of being "good", and living on that Goodyear sponsorship money that will soon have every team switching to those ugly t-shirt jerseys that have more rooms for corporate logos on them.

Cavs fire Tye Lue after an 0-6 start to the season.

Gee, I wonder why? :roll:

My Jazz are probably winning it this year.

Golden State almost scored 100 in the first half tonight..

NBA is getting stupid

Jimmy Butler and his big mouth got their wish.

Timberwolves trade him and Justin Patton to Philly for Robert Covington, Dario Saric, Jerryd Bayless, and a 2020 second round pic.

Even though the Chicago Bulls haven't been good or even decent in years, I'm a die-hard Bulls fan. Anybody else like the Bulls?

The NBA continues to be rigged. News at 11.

GO RAPTORS GO! CANADA FINALLLLLLY WITH A BIG 4 CHAMPIONSHIP FOR THE 1ST TIME SINCE 1993'S BLUE JAYS!!!! OH MUTHAFUCKIN' HELL YEAHHHHH!!!!!! =D =D =D =D =D =D

And a warm congratulations to the St.Louis Blues

I've binged too much Urinating Tree recently, and totally read that as "CONGLATURATIONS" and took 100% of your statement in sarcasm.
