    Astounding showing by the Lakers tonight. In Sports Illustrated despite the fact they were picked sixth in the West, the opposing scout skewered their roster, yet the likes of Jordan Hill, Xavier Henry (who I didn't know was on the Lakers), Jordan Farmar totally dominated the Clippers in the fourth.


    The clippers totally under estimated the lakers team. It just looked liked the lakers had more heart and did the little things right.


    Blake Griffin is an athlete and a good PF but nothing more. He should have developed further than he has by now and if he couldn't dunk he would be compared to Paul Millsap and Boozer, who are also Good PF's but nothing more.

    I don't think the Clips can win with their forward line - Can see them trading someone before the deadline

    Yeah I agree with ya. I just can't go past the Brooklyn nets, what a team. Once they get used to playing together they're gonna be unbeatable. Lopez, Garnett,pierce, Johnson and Williams as their starting lineup, that's nuts.

    All they need is a time machine to be a real threat.

    What were the 76ers doing tonight - AI must have put something in their water.

    Turner and Carter-Williams were great - Hell, Rookie nearly got a triple double - 22pts, 12 Ass and 9 steals, plus 7 boards

    GM will be pissed, they are supposed to be tanking

    Was a great effort- I feel for Turner, I think he can be a very good player for a long time. Just don't think he is the face of a franchise type player, needs to be a 2nd or 3rd option on a team. Would take him over Rudy Gay any day.

    They did well again to beat Wiz in Washington.

    Hoping DRose works the rust out soon and my Bulls hit their stride

    GSW look like a fun team again to watch all year- really think they will threaten in the West

    It's not a lock that they play in the conference finals either, especially with how Brooklyn and Chicago have been playing most of 2014.

    Could this Lebron to Cleveland thing really happen?

    You know they are getting their hopes up. Will it come crashing down again?

    We'll see how excited he is about Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger when he has his sit-down with Riley tomorrow.

    Players can officially start signing today. Hopefully Melo and Lebron make their decisions soon so the rest of free agency can then play out...

    how is this guy managing to piss me off again with all this?

    Make a decision you bozo.

    He is going to rip out the souls of people in Cleveland all over again

    I don't blame Lebron one bit. You haven't heard 1 word from him or anyone in his camp. This is the media (mainly ESPN) absolutely freaking out over all of this....so annoying.

    The thing I don't get it the 10 day window in free agency where teams can just talk to players and verbally agree, but can't start signing until July 10th. That delay is the main reason for all of this drama....and ESPN acting like a bunch of asshole per the usual.

    Agreed. I can't see how he is doing anything wrong. Talking to potential employers about a career decision. Those things take some time. He is not out in the press saying anything.

    Yep. Everything we hear is coming from these "insiders" and all of their "sources". The only guy I believe is Wojnarowski from Yahoo....I don't believe a word from any of these other dopes. Hopefully it's all over in the next couple days.
