    Watched some of a couple games tonight while work was slow, wolves lost to the sixers. Minnesota's been kinda disappointing lately but I guess they're just inconsistent cuz they're a young team, lots of talent though and they should be very good in a couple years.

    Warriors were ridiculous again, Draymond Green is basically as valuable as Klay and Curry now too. 3 great players and that doesn't even include the finals MVP from last year Iguodala. Green has I believe 5 triple doubles already this year, Harrison Barnes also returned. Warriors are basically unstoppable when they're at their best like they were for a while tonight.

    I think Draymond Green should get some MVP consideration. He's been playing out of his mind this year.

    Also, if the Heat can find another shooter, or get Dragic to play better consistently, I think they have a chance to beat the Cavs in the playoffs. Bosh poses matchup problems for the Cavs, Wade has been playing his best basketball years, and Whiteside is still coming along.

    Caught the end of the 2nd half and overtimes. Pretty s-----y officiating but a great game nonetheless.
    That'd have to get past the Bulls 1st. In my unbiased biased opinon, I think the Bulls match up very favorably against the Heat.

    He can't s---t for nothing. He's great on defense. It's going to take him a year or so to get things together. Green has been a disappointment also.

    True, but just like every season with the Bulls everything depends on Rose's health. Butler has been playing out his mind lately and can probably take the Bulls deep in the playoffs.

    Yeah it definitely looks like Jimmy has taken that next step. Rose will be ready, but everybody besides him and Jimmy (I'm talking to you Pau, Snell, McDermott, Niko, and others) need to consistently show up. In a perfect world Miami would knock out Cleveland and play us in the conference finals.

    Going to LSU vs. Kentucky game tonight. My boys don't match up well at all against Kentucky but hopefully Ben Simmons goes off tonight and pulls through for us

    You think Gerald Green's been a disappointment? I think he's been the bench scorer this team has lacked in years past. Also, Dragic is definitely coming along. Just watching him in the P&R with Bosh every game and how they're getting better and better at it is a beauty. Winslow can s---t a little bit. When he's on, he's on. Watched him hit 3 3's without missing one game.

    Oklahoma Kansas was f---ing crazy. Buddy Hield became one of my favorite college players because of that game. Not only because of his ridiculous basketball abilities, but his class too. Not many guys would give ESPN an interview that good after a 3OT loss to a conference rival like #1 Kansas. Hield can play on my team any day of the week.

    Lol why do I find my sleezy self waking up at 3am in a cabin at a resort after I got too high last night posting in the NBA thread... Going back to sleep, bout to booze and hit this waterpark in the morning. Also, Ben Simmons is the next LeBron James. Might even be smarter, just lacks the combination of athleticism, strength, and size. #1 pick hands down.

    Night fellas

    Just needs to have more confidence in his jumpshot but he'll be the best Australian talent to grace the NBA for sure.

    f---in Curry got hurt tonight again and I'm going to the warriors/blazers on friday. No idea if the injury's serious or not, but hope he's able to play.

    Warriors smashed the Lakers tonight of course, no Kobe or Russell either. Nance continues to look good though, Klay was on fire for Golden State in the 1st quarter.
