I've been watching the Wiz a lot more lately with Wall healthy again, and all I can say is that I wish he had gotten back sooner. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad he took the time he did to get fully healthy, but this turned into a wasted season with him on the bench for 30+ games.

Thank you OKC for James Harden! Led by arguably the best backcourt in the NBA, I'm predicting the Rockets make it all the way to Western Conference Finals.

Eh I don't watch much NBA, but I don't see them beating the spurs or thunder to get to the finals

Maybe not in a 7 game series, but they did beat the Thunder, Heat, and Spurs in the regular season.

LOL isn't the point of your post saying that you think the Rockets will reach the Western Conference finals? Therefore they're going to have to play at least 1 of these teams to get there. Winning 1 game is easy; its 4 that's the challenge. I'm saying they won't win 4 games whenever they play either of those teams in the playoffs.

Right. I said maybe they won't win in a 7 game series.

Watching highlights of bulls heat,can't believe James was called for the T on that foul,terrible terrible call.Im surprised no commentators said anything about it

[skinsfaninok]

Hopefully okc can win today but without Russ it'll be hard. Miami will.take it all again

The NBA is official dead to me. It has to be the bottom of the barrel sport right now.

NHL, NFL, MLB > NBA

I've said it before and i'll stick with it again; Heat will lose a total of 3 games in the playoffs. They've lost 1 already. I say they lose 1 to the pacers and 1 to the spurs.

I would love to see the grizzlies upset the spurs but I don't see it.

Otto Porter staying in the District? Wiz will have their big 3 soon.

I'm not impressed by porter.

2013 NBA draft -- Cleveland Cavaliers win NBA draft lottery; Orlando Magic get 2nd pick - ESPN

They really need to get rid of this stupid lottery system. It's broken and it doesn't help the teams at the bottom. It's all built on chance and that's not a good system to get the worse teams better. There is no reason the Bobcats shouldn't be selecting #1 the past few years. Absolutely stupid.


You guys speak of NBA sucking....well it does. Beyond the playoffs, the NBA is rather boring for the most part. They don't do enough to keep stars in small markets, they want 4-5 select teams to stay on top the majority of the time. They really need to fix it.

It all came to be because the San Antonio Spurs tanked and lost games on purpose to get Tim Duncan. Stupid as it maybe, it kept teams from tanking their seasons. Luckily I don't like the NBA enough to care, but if the NFL ever went to this system I would be pissed.
