I had a feeling the Cavs would stumble early, I'm however completely amazed how well the Celtics playing. They appear to not be intimidated in the least being that they're on the road.

The Timberwolves had two chances to pick Stephen Curry in the 2009 draft. Two!

Instead they went with Ricky Rubio and Jonny Flynn (he plays in Italy now).

One other interesting tidbit, the Grizzlies used the #2 pick on Hasheem Thabeet in that same draft. In 2012, both Jonny Fynn and Thabeet were packaged together in a trade for a 39 year old Marcus Camby. I would hope that the GM's for both those teams are working as parking lot attendents right now.

In the meantime, Curry has turned into a ninja assassin.

Warriors almost traded that pick to the Suns as they thought Curry would be gone as well. They smartly waited just in case. This has been my most enjoyable season as a Warriors fan ever. I loved some of those TMC teams and there was the knocking off the 1 seed season but this has been unbelievable. The biggest change is I actually expect the Warriors brass will do the right thing and pay Draymond Green. Its amazing what good ownership on down can change your teams fortunes.

So that Steph Curry guy is pretty good, huh?

That's why I think The 76ers GM is a madman. In fact, he may be a warlock sorcerer considering he has been serving shit on a shingle to the Philly fan base for two straight years and they seem to be happy. Philly of all places!

The only comparison I can think of is when the Kingdom of Gondor was under the control of the Dark Lord Sauron because King Theoden was enslaved under a spell cast by Saruman the White.

And before Philly fans start touting about all the first round picks this madman has acquired and how his strategy will lead to NBA titles in the future, this year's draft is cornucopia of poop.

A semi-impressive freshman point guard out of Ohio State, who averaged less then twenty points a game in the Big Ten, is projected to go 3rd. There is a dude from the Congo projected to go 5th. Two dudes from ex-Soviet republics are forecasted to be top 7 picks. A man named "Frank" was the AP Player Of The Year. An entire college basketball program (Kentucky) declared for the draft because it made good sense.

Perhaps Liam Neeson will make me pay for these words in the year 2020, but to those Philly fans holding onto dreams of seeing their team playing competitive basketball ... Good Luck ...

Hey Clippers.....beat it.

eeriepadave

Wobbie

In another month, we'll have a champion!

as they say.......dagger!

I might regret saying this but I'm glad Warriors get Rockets. Clips and Warriors hate each other which can always add some unknown to the series as it goes along. Warriors beat the shit out of Rockets in regular season but I dont think they ever really had to take on rockets with Dwight healthy.

InHiding80

My Clips are no longer in.

At least my Ducks are still in it for hockey, though.

I'm not a huge NBA guy, but.....damn.....this place is dead.

Probably because no philly, Chicago and/or New York. There are no ATL peeps here I know of, one Houston, most of the Bay Area peeps left and a couple Ohio peeps.

shoulda be a good couple of series....Cleveland/GS Finals.
