He's a LOT LOT better this year.

Watch for Jimmy Butler to be a sleeper in the MVP race.

Watched this and realized he's a beast.

 

[Niklaus]

He is now one of the most underrated SGs in the game. He is one of the best defends and he is starting to really become solid on the offensive side.

 

[Marbles]

Toronto raptors and wizards turning it up.

Rockets beat the Grizzlies in OT yesterday. Memphis is #2 in the southwest division. Harden went beast mode and our new player Josh Smith got 21 points in his Rockets debut game.

Josh Smith was a solid pick-up.

So the Sixers beat Miami then they beat the Cavs on Christmas.

I cried a little when we lost to the sixers. But it was all better seeing the cavs being mopped up.

Wade went absolutely HAM(ouze)

I thought it was 2006 or something. He was balling the hell out. I personally think he's fine with Lebron being gone. Not from a team standpoint necessarily, but because he can command the offense again.

The Chicago Bulls are really starting to gather steam they're going to be tough to beat now that everyone is getting healthy. Phoenix is also gathering some steam which kind of surprised me to be honest with you.

 

[krutoi]

Miami won't be the same without lebron, absolutely not. I expect them at least to get to the semis and see what will they do.

 

[Lorenzo]

They will be first round and done if that. Miami just doesn't have the depth in my opinion.

Cav's are total shit and now without Anderson they lack a shot blocker on an already horrible defense.

The Bulls on the other hand are starting to look scary Jimmy Butler is really good this season and Derek Rose is starting to look like himself again with Noah and Gasol fuck they are good championship level for sure.

Kyle Lowry is by far the best point guard in the East I don't care what anyone says he's carrying his team a top the Eastern conference and is playing MVP basket-ball right now.

The All-Star voting is a complete joke again... Thank god the Coaches will get to vote as well or else the fans would totally fuck the entire thing up...

Why reward players who have horrible team records with All-Star it makes no sense but what ever the fans are idiots.

It's to be expected when they're being pummeled with injuries.

They're the best team in the east by far.

I wouldn't put him over Kyrie, but okay.

Good players who are stuck on bad teams shouldn't have a shot?

Team record means nothing on all star voting to anybody with a brain.

Agree. All-Star Voting is basically a fan based game from the NBA.

 

[Lorenzo]

If the Bulls keep it up and only continue to get better I don't see anyone in the east beating them and a lot of that has to due with the talent and how deep they are they're at least 11 people deep and if everyone continues to click I just see them getting better and better.

 

[SprinterMoon]

OKC Thunder are going to be at least a 6 seed in the West. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook leading the way with Serge Ibaka defending the rim. #2015NBAChampions

 

[Lorenzo]

I bet OKC doesn't even make the WCF to be honest with you.

It's possible if they don't face the grizzlies in the first round.
