Been watching a bit recently since I found you could watch online legally (http://www.sportsstream.co.uk/sport/bas ... streaming/ ) I used to watch when it was on 5 and it's amazing how much the NBA has changed. Always fancied going to watch a live game, may have to try a London one (I presume they are coming back?)

Paul George isn't underated now, I remember somebody posting on here a few years back that he was one to watch. The Pacers are class, can go ten deep, probably nine in the playoffs. I'm watching Lakers@Raptors at the moment, we're so bad right now.

For me, we're looking at, after LeBron and Durant, the best wing in the league and, on his day, one of the top 5 players in the league IMO. Watching NBA analysts it feels as though they still consider Carmelo a superior player, and some people are calling this his 'breakout year'.

Anybody watch the Clippers against Indiana? For me, it shown the Clippers' biggest weakness and something that has been their weakness since they decided they want to become a competitive side; their inability on the wing. CP3 is the best playmaker in the league, Blake is finally starting to dominate games on both ends and DeAndre is a formidable rim protector. But their wing play is pathetic, especially defensively. Crawford is awesome off the bench, but the 3 remains puzzling. George had it easy all game, LeBron will have it easy and Kevin Durant will destroy them if they reach the west finals. Just can't see Dudley and Reddick being a winning 2-3 combo, or even Dudley and Crawford.

LeBron is clearly unique and he's changing the way the game is being played by 3s. Still, as dominant as LeBron is right now, and physically he might never be matched, Paul George is so stupidly underrated. He's not as consistent, but on his day he's not that far from LeBron yet he's only now coming into his role as a star. I remember watching the draft night Indiana picked him, and reading all the mocks, it seemed crazy that he was being overlooked. What a steal he's turned out to be.

Anybody been watching much college ball this year? Draft class looks absolutely stacked and the top 5 could all be franchise players. Would love the crap West teams to pick up the best of the crop, the East has been a disgrace this year and don't deserve the pick of another great draft class like in 2003.

Underated by who exactly? Paul George is fantastic!!!

ANyway, 61 points from 33 shots last night, reminding Durant who the real MVP is

Lifetime ban for Donald Sterling. Be interesting to see how this all pans out.

He's stuffed and he'll be forced in to selling the club.

3-1 down. Cant see us comming back from that against a spurs team who despite their age are red hot!
D-Wade and Bosh just havent performed at all these finals, whilst LBJ has been dragging the team by himself.
Oh well, once melo arrives next season and we now have a big 4, we should hopefully regain our crown.

If you were Miami, I doubt it would be possible, but I'd desperately try and trade Wade. The man just isn't the player he used to be and he hasn't been for years now. He put up strong numbers back in the day when it was him doing everything, but since LeBron has come in he's proving to be more of a burden, for me. When LeBron has the ball he should be able to look to his starting guard to shoot the three, but Wade doesn't shoot anywhere near enough threes. He didn't take any playmaking duties off LeBron, he didn't take defensive duties off LeBron and he definitely didn't take scoring duties. Bosh has always been third choice in Miami, sometimes not even that, so it doesn't surprise me that he's struggled, they only seem to use him to stretch other bigs. But Wade, Wade has been in decline for years and I wouldn't waste time asking players to take a paycut for Carmelo, I'd get rid of Wade and see what else they can bring in.

Re: NBA thread : Wed Jun 18, 2014 12:08 pm  

If Wade goes, Bosh and LBJ go, thats the problem.

Wade's knees are shot.. that's the problem he has got.

Lebron will have a tinker around, he will see if Miami have any options to bring somebody like Melo in and go for another ring. If not, he will go to whichever team he feels is the one that will bring him the success he desires.

Re: NBA thread : Thu Jun 26, 2014 8:05 pm  

Realistically,who can afford him whilst at the same time, having a strong enough support cast? My thinking is, he will stay, IF Riley can guarantee him a better secondary at the heat which they will, if the big 3 take pay cuts
