Kings are a total mess. 77 points last night. No one played well.

cue up For the Love of Money by the O'Jays coz that man is in shape and ready to get paid. he has a hop to his step that I never expected out of him.

he usually used to be a finesse post player. would like to do that turn around his right shoulder to the base-line or turn to the middle and make a hook (or that running hook that I love).

but yesterday? he was backing down people with force and getting his shots at the front of the rim. I've never seen him get so many shots from that spot right in front of the rim.

...soon to be New York Knicks starting center 8-)

Hornets interested in Kobe? LOL what is Chad Ford smoking in his pipe

I hope he messed up and confused the Pelicans (aka old Hornets) with the new Hornets we would literally have to trade half our roster for that horrible contract and there is no way MJ wants Kobe in Charlotte especially since he forced his way out the first time around

I'd hate for that to happen.

I think it'll be too hard for Marc to turn down considering the success Pau had under Phil and the marketability in New York as a Spaniard

I see that happening also like us eventually getting Steph.

I hope the Wiz lose and go down 0-2.

It would be nice to create some separation with Beal out.

The Raptors and Heat are really solid though.

It could go Cavs - Bulls - Heat - Raptors - Hornets.

MJ's expectations are 5th seed.

We can get that 3rd seed if...

IF CLIFF GET HIS ROTATIONS TOGETHER.
IF BIG AL GET HIS SH*T TOGETHER.
IF WE MAKE A GREAT TRADE W/ HENDO OR NEAL.

Quincy Acy is at least 20 years older than Biyombo.

Man, our division is so brutal. Miami, Washington, Atlanta, and a better Orlando...

And we're as good as any of them. Orlando still blows though. I'm not watching their game tonight, but they subtracted Afflalo and replaced him with two rookies, Ben Gordon, Evan Fournier, and Channing Frye. They're not going to be any better than 12-13th.

I feel like outside of Chicago and Cleveland that we are just as good if not better than those other teams. We are our own worst enemy and gotta get our chemistry together. And when I say chemistry that goes for Cho and Clifford too, not just the players. We can be real real good.

Ben Gordon tryna carry the Magic. :rofl2:

Andre Drummond is overrated as hell. He looks the same as last year. Bad man to man defense and gets most of his offense off of put backs. Hes no where near Dwight Howard at the same stages of their careers. Looking more and more like Deandre Jordan everyday.

Just wait for that 30 30 game this year its coming, but Im shocked at his slow start too he was playing a lot better last year but you cant take too much out of 2 games.

Im basing a lot of it for his play in team USA as well. He was non existent. He is another Deandre Jordan, which is a really good player, but he will never be a Dwight Howard. Let alone Shaq.

so nice to see lebron and the cavs lose their home opener, and to a total crap team, who could barely get the ball over half-court in that 4th quarter.

cavs played only 8 guys tonight (not counting mike miller playing 2 minutes). lebron and kyrie both played 43 minutes and love and waiters played 38. their bench combined for 12 pts. good luck trying to play the starting 5 40 mins a game for 82 games and expect to have anything left for the playoffs. not a chance kyrie and love can hold up for an entire season with those minutes, let alone playing deep into june.
