  1. Sorry Pat. Dont know if you will ever get a ring before retiring. Butler, sorry not sorry. You got paid well and it was your idea to waste years with Kyle Lowry.
    Blow this team up. Its not him.

  2. Butler threw the ball away, they go up by 25, writing was on the wall. Heat can still take the 6th seed. Obviously, Indiana is going to lose on Friday @ Cleveland (that's a guarantee).and they will also lose their last game to Atlanta… so yea, Heat win out and some other things happen, Miami takes the 6th seed.

  3. Jimmy due for a super max am just waiting for the playoffs guess they different team when playoffs reach this will determine whether jimmy will get the 300 m or not lets see guys how they all going to perform to makevour decision

  4. Know what?

    The Denver Nuggets are vulnerable. The Minnesota Timberwolves are not a good defensive team!

    OKC & the Clippers are small teams that have injury problems plus the Mavericks have beaten all of them.

    So,

    I believe the backcourt tandem of Luka and Kyrie will score 60 ppg against anyone + those two have improved their defense from mediocre to average.

    Then,

    they are surrounded by good [Dante Exum], excellent [Derrick Jones Jr. & Lively] and/or great [Gifford & P.J. Washington] defensive personnel who are long, active and athletic.

    It's not popular to say this but Jokic is very limited and has serious problems scoring, rebounding and passing on T-H-I-S length, height and youth under Jason Kidds tutelage!!

    Jason Kidd is the X-factor in all this cuz neither Luka nor Kyrie are the hub nucleus of the team.

    Jason Kidd is.

    People forget that – as a player – he was never a great scorer. He was a great defender, a great leader who knew all the tricks, ins & outs of round ball. T-H-I-S is the type of player [Bob Cousy, Hal Greer, Jo Jo White, Mo Cheeks, Magic Johnson] that you must have to win a championship. Someone who sets everything and everyone up, makes sure everyone is on point and in position on every…single…play.

    Jason Kidd is a basketball savant and guru who has assembled 5 guys who have high court IQ's with rare skill sets.

    If Kawaii Leonard plays, the Clippers are their greatest test. But, if they beat them…I predict they will at least win the Western conference cuz none of the other teams ahead of them can even slow down their backcourt while the other 6 Maverick players will shut down everyone else.

    That's the issue!!!

    Luka and Kyrie will average 60 ppg while their composite defensive scheme challenge 3's, block midrange jumpers, alter shots, discourage lay-ups, get all the defensive rebounds and most of the offensive rebounds, then, filling passing lanes while keeping continuous defensive pressure for 48 minutes.

    Also,

    They go 8 or 9 deep and only the Lakers and Boston can match their depth but the Mavericks bench has:

    Josh Green
    Jaden Smith
    Maxie Kleber
    Tim Hardaway

    …or…Olivier Prosper and 3 of those guys are offensive standouts. Only the Clippers can match all this IF KAWAII CAN PLAY cuz of their 2 superstar's ability to match Dallas's firepower A-N-D pressure defense.

    If Kawaii is at the top of his game, he's the best but the Mavs can neutralize Jokic.
