ATL - Can't bear to watch the Pistons edition

[CanadaBucks]

Have you actually watched Klay shoot ? It really is good and so smooth. He just isn't hitting it atm. I think it was the same at the start of last season too.

I think people jump to conclusions about players based on small sample sizes in different situations. He was good last year as the number 2 and number 1 option(when Lee was shut down)on a tanking team.


And again, I'm not saying he sucks I am saying maybe people jumped the gun based on the 2nd half of last season...or maybe he's in a slump....just odd he's shot over 40% once in 10 games

I see only 10 teams in the East that even have a shot at the playoffs, and Atlanta and Indiana are really, really iffy as numbers nine and ten. Man the East sucks. I'd say homecourt is a realistic goal for the Bucks, honestly, which amazes me to say.

Philly are shaky too, I can see them falling in a big hole if Holiday cools off. Given Bynum was out until January and has now hurt himself again it seems a very real chance he won't play at all this season.

He's shot right around 40% from 3 for his past 4 years of basketball, not like last season was a once off and he hasn't shown he can shoot before then.

Imagine if Lebron or Wade went down with a season ending injury...

They'd still win the East without Wade, but if Lebron went down this thing would be thrown wide open.

[LUKE23]

Yep, they'd win the East with LeBron and 13 YMCA ballers.

Boston just decimated by Detroit.

[CanadaBucks]

Again Portland proving their bench is probably the worst in the NBA

[Baddy Chuck]

Boston just decimated by Detroit.

Honestly, Boston could be the 7th seed this season and I would still consider them that favorite to meet Miami in the ECF.

Boston just decimated by Detroit.

Hilarious. You have to think Boston can bring it come playoffs time because they have in the past, but it's entirely possible New York, Brooklyn or Us are actually the second seed in the East simply by the attrition of everyone else sucking so bad.

What a few of those mid tier Western Conference teams would do to be moved to the East right now.

[Nebula1]

Lakers looking really good and Kobe is playing great. Good battle in Portland.

[SupremeHustle]

Roy Hibbert/Darren Collison or Jennings/Bogut?

[paul]

Just caught half of that first quarter with LA, man Houston looked woeful on D. 40 points in a quarter? Woof.

[paul]

Howard just schooling Asik right now.

Terrence Jones just put Jodie Meeks on a poster.
