He's shooting the ball well. Defense isn't bad either. I think he has potential to be a somewhat solid 3 & D SG in the league.

Man I wanted to see Indiana get the 8 seed and see George in the playoffs vs the Hawks in round one, but right now I'd prefer to see the Grizzlies to beat them, dropping the Spurs to 6th and a first round matchup against the Clippers.

Pelicans make playoffs. Glad justice was served after Westbrook got the tech rescinded for BS reasons.

That last miracle shot by AD beating the Thunder propelled them on making the playoffs. Monty Williams gets a ton of credit for getting them there.

This is hilarious!

The Pelicans beat the Spurs and the NBA to make the playoffs. F-U NBA!!!

But even more entertaining...Beasley goes for 34 points in a meaningless game that Miami tried to lose (by sitting their best players) so they can keep their pick. :lol:

Beasley is such a **** up. He can't even win right.

Wow, so the Heat players only six guys, four of which play every second of the game?

Even D'Antoni is saying,"That's f*cking nuts!"

Embiid was drawing plays in this damn game.

Miami losing would have made no difference in the standings. They are in the 10th spot now. The only way they don't keep their pick is if one of OKC, us, Utah or Indy/Brooklyn leapfrog them into the top 3, and those odds are long.

Good to know that Suns aren't the only team having problems with miracle shots :lol:

So Jalen Rose thinks Rondo and Love will be Lakers next year. How good do you think that makes them? I don't think it puts them in the top 9 even.

Kobe, Rondo, Randle, Love and a few more pick up's and they could be 6-8th in the West.

If the balls bounce their way and they get either Okafor or Towns, Kobe stays healthy with Rondo and Love joining him they could be a real force.

I expect Love will Love LA.

If that does happen how in the world are the Phoenix Suns ever going to get into the playoffs?

Will we make the playoffs before 2020?

If so, which year?

I think Kobe, Rondo, and Love with a couple big time rookies looks good on paper, but on the court, I am not so sure it will do anything. Kobe has barely played in two years and is going into supposedly his final season in the NBA. Love has had problems playing with Lebron so I do not see why he would not have problems playing with Kobe. I thought Rondo would be fantastic on the Mavs and he has played the worst basketball of his career. Taking all those things into account, I doubt that potential Lakers team would be a playoff team.

I still think until Kobe is willing to play 2nd or 3rd fiddle to younger talent, LA is going to be mediocre. It's fine if he "takes over" in the 4th, but he can't be their 1st option for the majority of the game.

Here is my first round prediction for the playoffs.

Toronto in 7

Chicago in 6

Cleveland in 5

Atlanta in 5

Warriors in 4

Memphis in 7

San Antonio in 7

Houston in 6

--------------------------------

Everyone list yours just for the first round/games.

Remember that Lakers team with Kobe, Dwight, Nash and Pau?

Sounds like Al Jefferson is staying in CHA. He says he has unfinished business there, and owes better play to the team and fans. He is saying the right things.

I don't think Rondo and Kobe complement each other well unless Kobe will play off ball. Rondo is useless if he isn't primary ball handler because he can't shoot.

But Rondo could be good for young bigs in the post Kobe years and with Love.
