its becoming clearer and clearer the Heat will walk to the Finals.

Put on some glasses. The Heat are 0-5 this year vs the Knicks, Pacers, and Bulls.

And by no means does this mean that Heat aren’t still the team to beat. But they certainly won’t walk through the playoffs. They’ll have a very tough road to get back to the Finals.

Htown, I think the Jazz would be wise to keep their young guys together, and not focus on the playoffs for this year. Favors/Kanter have improved every year, and are 21/20 respectively. The Jazz might have to make a move this year with some of their expiring contracts though (Jefferson/Millsap/Williams/Foye/Bell/Tinsley)

Also I would imagine a certain user will be using it as evidence of Wade cycling on HGH.

If I wanted evidence from this game, I’d do with the reverse dunk in transition. However, still too early in the season. Wait until the playoffs, when announcers say he is “revitalized” or “looking more athletic”

Speaking of this, Simmons and Klosterman had a good podcast, discussing NBA testing policies and the benefits of blood doping for basketball players

Interesting but I don’t think Clips give up their big chip for a guy that plays Griffin’s position.

Jazz could just play 2 PF instead of a C. The Jazz get their PG, but also take on Butler’s nasty deal. LAC need to get rid of a SF, and he is the one they would most like to see leave. Maybe they just choose to hang onto Bledsoe until next trade deadline though.

I’d love to see the Rockets make the playoffs, so I wouldn’t mind seeing Utah weaken itself this year somewhat. I’m still not counting out the Lakers or Blazers.

Can’t win with Jefferson & Millsap defending the paint.

Reminds me of my Grizzlies lately. Stop ball, somebody.

Favors has so much potential, I would love to see how he’d be with 35 minutes each game.

Utah’s front line (Big Al, Millsap, Favors, Kanter, Hayward) is a handful. Keep an eye on ‘em.

Their strength is also their biggest flaw. Can’t win with Jefferson & Millsap defending the paint. The spurs ran a layup line against them last year. Same thing’s gonna happen again.

Millsap for a PG

absolute horseshit is austin rivers

The horse shit himself when Rivers crossed him up?

absolute horseshit is austin rivers

that’s true. And their win shares are about the same.

the injury took all his skill?

No, but teams are not going to pay full price for a player who is coming off a career worst season last year, and then was injured this year. I personally don’t think he is ever going to reach that All-Star level he was at. His per 36 #s have declined every year over the past 4 seasons.
