It's still very early and I don't want to get ahead of myself but I said this in the off season. We really could be the Grizzlies of 2013 this year.

Lol LeBron. This is some unacceptable stuff. His leadership has been poor so far in Cleveland. Did the same thing after missing a layup the next possession.

People underestimate how much Dwayne Wade helped procure and nurture his leadership skills in Miami. Wade would take a lot of pressure off of LeBron. Now that he's not there and he has to take all the burden (as Irving is too young, Love is no winner), he's already feeling the burden in Cleveland. Plus, Blatt the Bastardface doesn't belong in the NBA and especially not out there to coach the most talented team in the NBA (talent-wise).

LeBron is a great player - but his mental game has always been lacking.

Bosh was also a good leader, look at him on the Heat now he's not acting like a baby like LeBron is everytime Chalmers jack up bad a shot.

Still think it's Lebrons to lose but the east is very weak right now. Last year you had 1 dominant/elite team in the east which was Miami. Lebron going to Cleveland spread the talent out and made the east more competitive but left it without an elite team at the top.

"Beware the Bulls if they're healthy"

They are such an injury prone team. Always have guys missing.

honestly, rose should just retire man… no pr skills though… could've just stfu and been looked at as a hero in case his career eventually ends due to injury… now he just looks like a lazy privileged POS… i'm not doubting the severity of his injury… but it's like charles and shaq said on TNT last week, they're millionaires who live comfortable lives… they both walk with a limp because of the toll the sport has taken on their bodies… but they wouldn't change it for the world… you're worried that when you get older you might not be able to walk properly? ****, most people don't walk properly when they get older regardless… you're getting paid millions to play a game you love… most people would give their left nut to be in your shoes… and you're sitting on the bench, getting huge ass paycheques to do nothing, because you're afraid in the future you might need a cane or some ****? i mean if the situation is so dire that you might need your legs amputated or some ****, then i totally understand… that's serious… but to sit out because you might be in pain when you're older? i mean i get it, but there's dudes who slave and kill their bodies just to make a living and end up with pain… so **** rose man.

Caught the final few minutes of the game, Reggie put the team on his back and scored 6 of their last 9 points.

Can't say this enough but: The Thunder truly F***ed up by letting Harden go.

the east already belongs to us, gtfo with this bosh nonsense. we don't need more shots for the PF… we need more consistent offense from val, demar, ross and lowry and a defensive anchor big… bosh isn't that… i mean he's solid pick and roll defender because of his smarts and quickness, but he still gets bodied because he's skinny and isn't a great shot blocker.

Stop being delusional. I'm a Lebron hater but the east belongs to Lebron until someone proves otherwise. A starting lineup of Lowry, Ross, DeMar, Bosh & JV with a bench of Lou, Vasquez, JJ, Patterson & Amir makes us the best team in the east.

Nobody gives up 50 million dollars +

He shouldn't be talking so much on TNT and ESPN though. What's the point of it.
