    He deserved it...What a fucking moron he was.

    I was shocked it wasn't ruled a Flagrant 2...It wasn't even close to being part of basketball...

    His lack of presence won't matter for Game 6...Lebron's going to be in Cleveland mode.

    Dwights going to Houston. I dont see him staying in LA, he never liked Kobe, the Lakers are a mess, Nash is old.

    The only other possibility is Atlanta with CP3.

    Ill wait till the finals is over though because the Spurs wont be paying Ginobli 14 million, and Tiagos a free agent which means the Spurs could sign a max contract player. I have to check the numbers though, dont quote me on this yet,

    Can someone tell me if Nets can still sign Dwight by paying luxury tax?

    I've thought for a while that Houston would be where he ended up but if there is one thing with Howard it's that he changes his mind as much as he changes his underwear. I never thought Atlanta would be a possibility until I realized they could sign both Paul and Howard. They dumped the awful Joe Johnson contract and will let Josh Smith walk and all of a sudden they could become a big time player in the East. It's close to where Paul grew up, it is where Dwight grew up and they have the money.

    I don't knwo if Dallas could sign both but they will absolutely have the ability to try and sign one. Dirk and Dwight on the same team could be pretty scary.

    Cleveland mode isn't necessarily a good thing. He needs to be able to pick his spot, that means someone has to join Lebron, Mario, and Udonis in the big 3.

    I don't think so. Only way to get Dwight is through a sign and trade I think.

    Dwight changes his mind a lot, you have that right. Not sure if CP3 would head to ATL. Not really sure where CP3 goes. He might just say in LA.

    CP3 is in the hardest position imo. Apparently he went months without talking to Griffin, plus I dont see them winning with what they have now.

    Im not sure where he lands.

    I don't know if Paul stays in LA. Donald Sterling kind of threw him under the bus with the firing of Del Negro but he is loved by Clipper fans. I don't know if Dallas would go after him. Collison is retty good and much cheaper but obviously I'd prefer Paul. I think Dallas is more likely to make a full court press for Howard.

    I know it's unlikely, but if the Pacers could get CP3 and then move George Hill to SG (his natural position). They could have Lance and/or Granger coming off the bench for a pretty sick lineup.

    Vogel is on his way to being an elite coach if he isn't already.

    Maybe destiny will finally hold true and he'll join the Knicks. I don't know how its possible without moving Amar'e's contract, but fuck that would be nice. CP3 IS the clippers though. Without him, Griffen won't be as effective.

    Who knows though. If Stat stays healthy for once, he could be in world beater mode next year. He looked good in the limited minutes he played when he wasn't even 100%. If he can get back to that level and train some more with Hakeem the dream, we could be in good shape.

    Also the Nets have contacted JVG to be a coach. They are smart!

    Go Pacers tonight!

    How many teams will Dwight Howard play on in his career? Maybe he'll set a record at the rate he's going.

    What makes you say this? Before CP3 he was just as effective, if not more.

    Bosh looks to have an extra wrap on his ankle...Wade is really working hard pregame...

    He's been in the league for 3 years, 2 with CP3. I think Blake will be just fine but it obviously doesn't hurt having CP3. I mean Blake's game has improved on his own.

    Bosh looks terrible this game.

    Lebron and Mario vs the Pacers. Wade looks slow trying to stay in front of George or doing things on offense. Bosh has taken shots, just missed

    Chalmers has two fouls. Pacers missing point blank layups. Bosh missing everything instead of a really lucky 3. Lebron biding his time, think he has taken only 2 shots

    Lance felt Lebron on his back, was not risking his layup getting swatted

    good play to drop it to George who makes sure the ball goes into the basket with a dunk

    Paul George with a great dunk around Bosh. Lebron comes back down the court and hits a 3 while everyone was going crazy for the dunk. He exchanged words with George. MY rookie lip reading skills thinks Lebron said you can't leave me alone to shoot

    Miami shoots 6/7 from 3, has 5 points outside of those 3s. The Pacers are doubling Lebron when he handles and the PG sets a pick, new strategy.

    The announcers keeps on saying te Miami team doesn't look like the Miami team from the regular season.

    Well when you play a tough D in IND and Wade, Bosh, and Batter forget how to play basketball, that will happen. It's not some mystery, it' what happens with tougher competition and people in slumps

    LeBron + Heat PGs: 8 for 14. Everyone else on Miami: 1 for 13.

    Oh my god IND they're either missing bunny layups at the hoop or they're trying to throw down monster one handed dunks and missing.
