    New NBA Champ This Year

    The Cavs are not looking good at all.
    They beat the Celtics in Boston to open up a one game lead, then lose to Atlanta at home.
    Then totally blew it yesterday - had a 26 point lead going into the 4th quarter at Atlanta and lost in OT.
    They think they can turn it up when they get to the playoffs I imagine. They'll probably win the first round,
    but after that they are fair game to be ousted.
    They definitely need another big body. Thompson is more of a PF than a center. And their shooting guards this year
    are about worthless.

    Haven't followed it much this year. I do think whoever is going to win the championship will come from the West. My money is on Golden State, I don't think they thought they would lose it last year. Kind of like when the Mavericks won it all, sure shocked Miami....I do hear a lot of talk about how the Cavs are having issues with teams like Indiana and playing them in a multi game series isn't any help.

    Now you're talking my language, the cavs remind me of the lakers when they had Malone and Payton that one season and got destroyed in the finals partly because of injuries. With that said no one is beating the cavs in the eastern conference. I think lebron is disinterested in the regular season, he's play in 7 NBA final series, home court advantage doesn't matter in the east and there is an interesting story on espn about why home court advantage is disappearing in the NBA. I'd like to mention that it deals with sexual hook ups and social media. Anyways I think last nights game was thrown to keep the heat out of the playoffs. Now lebron has played in two straight games and I believe tonight is a back to back so if he plays tonight I think that'll confirm what I'm saying. Either way they aren't beating the Warriors if their big four are healthy, well really Durant and curry.

    NBA? What's that?




    TEXAS has a balanced budget.

    Jesus Saves, even Agnostics.

    Draining the Swamp is a tough job.

    Golden State should win it all. San Antonio, unfortunately will play the Warriors in the West Conf finals and lose in 6 or 7.
    Cavs might not even get home court for the East playoffs. As of now, with two games to go, they and the Celtics are tied.

    Basketball unfortunately suffers from a lack of competition on all levels, typically the with the best player wins. Now it's who has the best couple of players, in all my life the only time this hasn't been the case was the spurs/heat series and the pistons/lakers series. In no other sport do you see that trend happen year in and year out. The celtics have one all star, the cavs have a top five player all time and two 2nd and 3rd team all NBA players, quality players past their prime and some solid role players. It won't matter in the eastern conference finals.

    I'm not so sure. The Cavs bench doesn't seem to produce much. Korver could probably be a starting SG on most teams, but half the time doesn't even get into a game.
    And LeBron simply can't carry them all his own any longer - let's face it. The guy is getting old.

    The best series I ever watched was the Celtics/Lakers.

    Those were the Battle Royales!!! Bird vs Magic, always a great series. Up until those guys hit the NBA the league was seriously losing attendance.
    After the Lakers-Celtics period, then along came Michael Johnson.

    Yup Michael Johnson came and revoultionized the sport, before that the only big time names were Jessie Owens and carl Lewis, wait? When did we transition to the men's sprinting events in track?
