Lakers getting waxed in the first half again by Dallas, you hate to see it. And LeBron getting booed by his home fans the other day warmed a very special place in my heart.

No matter how many years it continues to be true (IMO), let LBJ go off early because he will tire late, teams still never do it enough for my liking. If he's hitting 3s and dunking a lot before the 4th, that is how you beat him. He starts missing FT and 3s late, he gets very lazy. The more he has to do early the more I trust in his team losing... if other good players don't step up for him. Too bad he's had a lot of elite talent on his teams.

Edit: Every time I see him being able to coast early on both ends, I know he'll find a way late to win games. LBJ was very lucky to avoid a lot of KL by injuries and moving to LA. One guy who makes him work to score, but makes him have to defend. Damn

Edit again: Crawford just said what I did in one line.

I would hope anyone but the Bucks in Rd 1. I think the Cavs and Chicago will not be playoff contenders for various reasons. It would be great if two "heavy weights" like The Nets and Bucks can play and knock one of them off. Or Philly and the Bucks with the 4th and 5th seed etc.. or Philly and the Nets..

I want that 3rd seed for Boston regardless.

Im not saying i WANT that matchup, just that they would all be hard fought tough matchups.

AS far as exciting basketball, i think its the best.

I can't make up my mind who I want to lose more between the bucks and the Miami Heat right now. Meanwhile I was hoping the knicks could hold on against philly but running out of hope

I'm inspired. Here is mine:

1) Lebron
2) Kyrie
3) Chris Paul
4) Harden
5) Embiid

Honorable Mention - Anthony Davis

They are still missing Simmons - game still won't count if we win.

Cavs lost again. It would be great if we could win tomorrow against the Grizzlies to gain ground in the standings. It also sucks that we'll face KD and Kyrie next, but bring it on.

Bucks stun the Heat. Bad for us standings-wise, but good for me personally because I hate the **** Heat :lol:
