I concur - I think he's better than he's shown this year but assumed he was on a one year deal. Nvm

So watching the Pacers Rockets game last night, I noticed something. The Pacers are **** stacked at every position. They've hit a home run on every trade, draft pick and FA signing except with maybe Granger's deal, but that one isn't even hurting them.

Just an incredibly well put together team. A top 10 player, the best defensive C in the NBA and a collection of high caliber players that all fit well together.

The Scola pickup pisses me off...he's a perfect fit for us off the bench....their bench with granger now on it is nice.

Then they have guys like Mahinmi too who could spot start if needed. They're gonna make some real noise.

So.... did y'all watch Raptors thump the Thunder? Any of you dummies who think Lee is better than Amir still around here?

Watched the replay of Minnesota and LA Clips OT game. Love and Pek were beasting. The difference between Lee and Love is vastly apparent if you watch both play. Love has some of the shortcomings that Lee has in terms of athleticism and verticality. Love, however has such a big wide body on his 6'10'' frame he uses that big barrel chest to his advantage on rebounds and scoring inside. I think Lee gets out-muscled by some bigs if he can't out-quick them. I don't see Love having the same problem to the same extent to where Lee gets his shots blocked so frequently. I think he's definitely gotten better scoring down low than he has in the past. Love can get you a quality shot when the team needs a basket.

Such an awesome player to watch.

errrrr, that Michael Jordan guy was alright

I think LeBron's better. He's basically Magic Johnson + Elite Defense. If I'm building a team, I'd rather have prime LeBron than prime Jordan.

Clips at Portland last night....Nice think the Warriors took it out of Clips so they didn't have much left. I like the Portland team personality wise....They look a lot like the Warriors talent wise...spreading the floor...bombing away.

Clips don't seem to have enough....and if you think of it.....they don't. CP, Griffin...Crawford...Andre Jordan? I mean aside for those guys (and Andre is freakishly un-gifted offensively) what does CP have to work with at the end of games...He IS the best point guard in the league, IMO, when he can get this group to the finish line.

Westbrook out until after Allstar break. Sucks for the league but should help Curry's Allstar bid and hurt OKC a bit in the standings

The elbow made contact...not sure what you're talking about. Chris Paul is the flop champion...hands down.

how old are you out of curiosity? Not having a go at you but just guessing you never saw Jordan in his prime.

I'd post the gif but I'm too lazy. His nose got grazed and he sold the hell out of it.

21, so no I didn't. When I first got into basketball I spent 2 weeks watching every playoff game he ever played, so I've watched a good deal. Jordan is incredible and he dominated some GOAT players but.... I think we'll be saying the same things about LeBron in 10 years.

Saw the gif jester...I think the hit to the mouth was legit..sometimes a glancing blow can look like nothing but be much more..Montana went to his mouth immediately. Whatever though.

As for LeBron and Michael.....LeBron is a physical freak.....Jordan was a competitive freak...he would challenge anyone to anything at anytime....don't like comparisons between them....not anything that can be proven.

Here's one....who's the best in game dunker of all time? I'm going with Dr J
