    Yeah I thought it was cool. I didn't make that clear originally.

    Kyrie destroying the Celtics. Making his case for an AS bid. I hope he makes the game, he's a ton of fun to watch

    ^ Yeah, and the Cavs won. The Celtics are pathetic and now reside below .500.

    Irving belongs in the ASG I think. But there's not room for that many guys with bums like Garnett on it.

    Fans doing the usual thing this year. Howard and Garnett starting. Ugh.

    I think the Celtics and Lakers need to make trades...Might as well blow their respective teams up...

    Both are just pathetic.

    Lebron's going to opt out of the contract...I wonder if he really does want to go home and reclaim his throne and try to win one for Cleveland...

    He might. I think it really hurt him Cleveland turned on him. Would be crazy to think a nba MVP just leaves a team

    Wow. Who would trade without him resigning though? He didn't resign with LA.

    I knew you would love my Lebron one. None of those trades would ever happen but the trade machine is awesome to mess around woth

    Clippers finally lose without Chris Paul. Thunder blew them out in LA.

    Durant threatening to go 50/40/90 for the first time in his career. Bird is the only one to do it while also averaging at least 28.

    one of the NBA TV guys suggested Jamal Crawford should make the All Star Game, which is rather absurd.

    What makes you think Lebron would leave the Heat? They won a title last year and are still the #1 team in the East. Why would he keep bouncing around and have to resettle in again? It doesn't make sense. If Lebron goes to the Cavs, he has a much worse chance of winning a title, which is his prime goal. If Lebron goes anywhere it's to the Lakers, but I don't see it happening.

    Blehh. From the box score, their only down 6 midway through the 3rd which is good against Memphis.

    Simmons wrote this about Mike D'Antoni. Spot On.

    "Simmons: You left out "And someone who shouldn't be playing as much as Pau Gasol." There are two types of coaches …

    1. A coach who looks at his players and says, "How can I put these guys in the best position for them to succeed?"

    2. A coach who looks at his players and says, "How can I use these guys to make my system succeed?"

    Now, think about the mind-set driving Coach No. 2: He's basically saying, I'm here only because of my system. I can't actually coach. If you give me the wrong players for my system, it doesn't matter — I will keep using the system anyway, because Plan B would be coming up with a more inventive way to coach these guys. And I can't do that. I'm not good enough. So if it's OK with you, I'd like to go down in flames with my system.

    That's what D'Antoni did in New York (cut to Knicks fans nodding vigorously), that's what he's doing with the Lakers right now, and that's what he'll be doing when he's coaching the Minnesota Lynx in three years."

    I just started reading that about 30 minutes ago, coincidentally.
