The Knicks and Nets are awful.
That's all I got.

I watch it but Im not as into it as I used to be. It is sad about Rose, seems like a really nice guy, but he's still young. I don't think it'll ruin his career.
Honestly there is too much bs involved that I didnt realize as a kid...the acting, ridiculous rules, terrible refs and alot of players are so egotistical. Alone the game of basketball is cool, only sport I really like, but the NBA is just stupid imo.

Pretty big Bulls Fan but they'll be alright. Gonna be a solid middle seed into the playoffs but Thibs is a good enough coach to make decent decisions.
Biggest losers this season are the Lakers, Knicks and Bucks. In Contrast Pacers and Thunder look like the strongest teams out there IMO

The thing with Melo is if he doesn't have the ball in his hands he's useless. Dude has no defense (Being a Bulls fan I LOOOOVE my defense, drinking Thibs Kool-aid and not afraid to say it) and will shoot 30-50 shots a game no doubt (scoring 30-70 points and such), but you get someone to defend him tight and he's done.
Melo, as good of a shooter that he is, isn't gonna win any titles unless he starts to play more defense, do or set up picks or assist. And at this stage of his career that isn't gonna happen. Seems like like the only guys that are good solid defenders are Shumpert and Chandler. Rumor is that he might come sign with the Bulls. I dunno about that. I'd rather the Bulls get a Stoudemire, Hansbrough or a Tyson Chandler like player. Then again Melo could boost up their offense so there's that.

I still say that last years Finals was one of the greatest I've seen. A shame my team the Spurs couldn't finish, but it was still awesome. I hope we get back this year. It'll be tough.

Raptors aren't looking too bad, for an Eastern Conference team. They could, I emphasize could, be a dark horse.
DeRozan is silently having a hell of a year.

Actually no he could get rebounds, but meh. Unlike guys like LeBron, Harden, Noah or Chris Paul that can defend, do assists, steals, picks all that fun stuff. Point is Melo is a good player and will get his 30-70 points, but as a team they are going nowhere. It's also the coaching staff's fault for doing such a bad job with such good talent. Cleveland has a similar dilemma with Kyrie Irving. Lots of talent, but bad management/coaching. (Lakers and to an extent Brooklyn have similar problems) And XERO yes last years finals were awesome, and I was also rooting for the Spurs as their last hoorah before Duncan, Ginobli and G-Pop retire. But oh well. As for the Raptors well they've been solid all year, they can stand their ground with any team East Or West. Anyone excited for the All Star break?

No LeBron in the dunk contest, volleyball jerseys…Should be a great time.
In all honesty I do enjoy the contests. The All-Star game itself, not so much.

Those jerseys are pretty terrible. The 3 point contest should be good. And really it's about time Lebron enters the contest, even though I'm not his biggest fan he is a beast.
To be honest I'm more interested in the rising star game than the actual all star game. All least Noah is representing Chicago so that's cool. He has been double double machine lately.

Bellinelli totally beasted his way to win the 3 point contest.
And John Wall had a hell of a performance on the dunk contest. It was pretty awesome.

i think melo is a championship caliber player... i think his road to glory will be similar to dirk's... & hopefully he can accomplish that with the knicks... i agree the knicks organization is horrid... that mentality to sell tickets @ MSG is horrible...

^^Yeah well I was thinking the Knicks and the Bulls would be on opposite sides of the spectrum at this point, what without Deng and Rose, but DJ Augustin has been great. I was sure the Knicks were gonna be top 4 in the East at least (heh rhymes) but it's hard when ur management sucks.

Also the All Star game was alright. I was actually into it this year. and the East won yay.

Huge OKC thunder fan. Go to a few games a year. Their chemistry is a lil funky now that Westbrook came back. Sam prestigious has done excellent in building seattle uh I mean OKC. Ll
Anyways, I think OKC is a final four team but that's it. Once playoffs come, the younger guys like Jackson, lamb and Adams will underperform. Heat out of the east. |
