I don't see how any team beats the Warriors in a best of 7.

Dreymond can go ballistic, Thompson can go AWOL, Steph can get hurt and monkeys could fly out my butt.

I agree, it'' take a miracle for them to lose.

Cavs aren't done making moves. Korver is finding his stride on the team. Derrick Williams looks great when he is surrounded by good players. He's averaging a 10/3 line in his four games with the Cavs. Not bad for a FA pick up. I suspect the Cavs will find a way to get Melo, but I'm certainly not sure. I think there is one more big move left in the next week to be sure we are ready for GS

Love being out for a few weeks is only putting more pressure on the rest of the team.

And JR. They'll get through it. The JR thing has really hurt on the defensive end.

The Greek Freak was just interviewed on The Jump. Dude has HUGE ass hands.

Saw his in game free throw line dunk. Pretty damn impressive.

Carmelo being added to the All- Star game for K Love is a joke. Beal should have been named

They needed another forward.

Does anyone actually watch the all star game? I love the NBA but this is the worst of all the all star games. Worse than the NFL.

Nothing is worse than the NFL... I watched the first quarter and that was it. I liked seeing Durant and Westbrook play again.

Although there has been a lot of great All-Star games, it is meant to be entertainment. For what it is, I thought it was alright. Also, tempo is right. Pretty hard to beat the Pro-Bowl in lameness. lol

The recent years of NBA All Star games are getting worse and worse. I know it's about entertainment, but they don't play ANY defense at all. In the 80's and 90's even though is was generally fun and light, there was always a competitive edge to the games and the 4th qtr got real at times.

I enjoy watching it for what it is, but it would be nice to see more than jacked up 3's and runaway dunks all game. It was good to see Russ and Isiah have a bit of back and forth, but there should be more of it. Magic's last game, the players lined up to take him 1v1, and when great defensive big men where playing (Dikembe/Wallace etc) they tried to block players.

^^^^ this is why I think nba all star game is worse than pro bowl. Pro bowl is a joke but at least they still have to tackle. It's a sham of defense but at least it's still played. In the NBA they might as well just sit down.

It's a good thing the Sac Kings don't have any fans otherwise their HQ would have been burnt down in the last 24 hrs and Divac would be hanging from a gallows.

I'm sure all the other GM's are trying to figure out what they can get from Vlade in return for a bag of magic beans. Someone tweeted that NBA 2K17 would not allow that trade.

The Sixers were gifted a magical idiot in their rebuild process in the form if a 7'-1" Serb.

Yep. I turned it on Sunday night and lasted about 5 mins. That was tough to watch. I know it's supposed to be a show, but just watching the best players in the world shoot wide open 3s and throw down uncontested dunks isn't very entertaining.

the coup is complete in LA.

hope it fails miserably.

Isiah Thomas could use a job. Wonder if he has Magic on speed dial?
