Around The NBA 2.0

Heat over Bucks in 5 / Thunder over Rockets in 4
Knicks over Celts in 6 /Spurs over Lakers in 7
Hawks over Pacers in 5 / Clips over Grizzlies in 7
Nets over Bulls in 6 / Warriors over Nuggets in 6

Heat v Knicks, Heat in 6 / Thunder v Spurs, Spurs in 7
Heat over Spurs in 4

Pulling for Knicks, Warriors, Lakers, Hawks (hate the dirty Pacers). Could see Charlotte being like the current Warriors team in a year or two. Or not because they really wont get much further than they are without another star.

damn it! I had the Warriors upsetting both the Nuggets and the Spurs!

Let's hope Carl Landry, Draymond Green, and Richard Jefferson are ready to step up...

Thomas Robinson can't even get minutes in a blowout vs OKC.

Thank God we didn't draft that guy.

NBA playoffs are so bad. such a shock that the only entertaining game of the weekend was Warriors Nuggets. and now with David Lee out that series takes a big hit. might as well skip out for the next 2 weeks until a good matchup comes up

Chris Paul is such a stud.

CP3 had them the whole way...

So glad we didn't get trade raped and give up both Felton and May for that Paul fella.

I don't see Lebron leaving till Wade retires. Don't forget that their contracts don't really expire until 2016. They can just opt out in 2014.

no chance lebron doesn't opt out. zero incentive for him to stay on that contract.

That one legged shot he hit in the 2nd had me awestruck.

Cavs interested in Aldridge. Will be interesting to see what they have to give up.

As of now it seem like the package that the Cavs offer the Blazers would be centered around Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. Not a bad deal for either team but the Blazers would definitely need to find some above average post or perimeter scoring to replace LMA unless they plan on going into the tank for a few years in an attempt to snatch a star out of the 2014 or 2015 draft before there pick become unprotected to us in 2016.

If the Blazers want a rim protector I can see them wanting Verajo as well.

I also wonder if they moved LMA if they would look to keep Hickson as their PF.
