    Yeah and your the same one who said Indiana was a contender, I can rip your credibility to.

    what a stupid foul

    you don't have to foul, and if you do, you don't foul John Wall.

    Glad no one wanted to listen to me about the Wizards way back in January. I actually hope they get Indiana, because I said it way back then they would win in 6.

    Indiana is a contender.

    Indiana won tonight. You guaranteed they would lose.

    You can keep believing they are contenders, like I said in February; Time tells all.

    They are contenders. That's a fact. That doesn't guarantee they will win, but they are contenders by any definition.

    You didn't listen to yourself about the Wizards, you picked Bulls in 6 :p

    By what standard?

    And sure, that's just another PG Wall would have to leap just to become the best PG. And that's not including if Rose and Rondo and Lawson comeback healthy and playing at their level.

    Fell asleep before around the 4th Q last night. Good for the Wizards, no pressure now and everything is on the Bulls to pull out game 3.

    Bulls, Wizards, AND Broncos in 6. Bubble in every answer and it's impossible to be wrong ;)

    point guards:

    Chris Paul clearly the best.

    there's a second tier. Curry, Dragic, Westbrook, Parker, maybe Lowry




    Rose used to be up there before he decided he didn't want to play anymore. Deron Williams of course was up there when he played in Utah. Rondo was up there before his injury (I'd put him third tier now). Jrue Holliday maybe was up there briefly.


    third tier: Deron Williams, Rondo, Wall, Kyrie Irving, Rubio, Conley

    11th tier: Raymond Felton


    Like with Pacers/Hawks, he's wrong either way.

    Pretty generous ranking of Raymond Felton. You must be a Knicks homer :cool:

    CP3 is just too good. Deadspin had a great article on and so did Grantland about CP3 recently

    http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-clippers-and-the-chris-paul-paradox/

    I completely forgot about Conley. Underrated player overall.

    But yeah Parker isn't the best PG in the league, but he's definitely very good. And for Wall to become the best player next year, it will take a very unique combination of scenarios where Lebron and KD fall off (no signs of slowing down this year) or get injured. Then he has to jump about 4-5 point guards which again is very tough to do. Then on top of that, what about Dwight, Melo, Love, Davis, Aldridge, Blake, etc etc.

    Hey if Wall does it, he means he makes an AWESOME jump which would be fun to watch. But let's not overreact to game where he had 16 points, 7 assists, and 5 rebounds.

    I forgot Lawson and Lillard. They'd both be third tier to me.

    That would be 14 PGs, top 3 tiers, the good ones.

    Bobcats cut it to 5 in the third, Chris Bosh hits back to back 3 pointers to make the lead 11

    Miami beats the Heat and Bobcats to win the game. Really made some silly plays to keep Charlotte in the game but still won
