He's legit, I think he's scoring the most points out of all the Clippers this season. They're definitely a title contending team if they keep this up. Being a Lakers fan, I'm more excited to see how they do once D'Antoni starts coaching and Nash gets healthy. That starting lineup is ridiculous.

Lol hiring dantoni instead was a bad idea
 
Doesn't seem like the lakers are developing any chemistry whatsoever though.

I'm also disappointed in the kings performance this season as I really wanted Isaiah Thomas to make them come together.

Harden is scoring 30s every game in Houston, but not sure if that team is going anywhere.
 
Blazer nation!! Keep an eye on Lillard, he's gonna be something special..

Edit: By the way jamal crawford was a complete bust in portland last year. Great player with a terrible attitude. Probably why he changes team every other year.

This multiple times.

I would've taken PJ first, then Jerry Sloan before even considering D'antoni. I'm disappointed but hopefully the defense will be better than it has in the past under D'antoni.

Clippers are now one of the most fun teams to watch in the NBA now. And Jamal Crawford with dem ankle breakers
 
My beloved Bulls r missing their bench mob...oh, and their MVP...🙁
 
Go Pistons! Hoorah ...............

at least we have one win ...
 
Watching MLS right now, actually. Not really sure why considering Sunday night football is on.

That's debatable. Firing Mike Brown was definitely the right decision given his record during the preseason and at the start of this season; his offense just didn't work with the current roster. D'Antoni is a great offensive coach and has had a lot of success with Nash in Phoenix. With Nash running the offense D'Antoni was a great choice. Yeah, he has a dubious record with defense but when you have two former Defensive Players of the Year (Dwight Howard and Metta World Peace) on the team as well as Kobe (good defender as well), the defense should be sufficient. That being said, I probably would have re-hired Phil Jackson since he has the most proven record of success and is arguably the greatest coach of all time.

What. MJ was a legend.

And Larry Bird was pretty fly for a white guy.

Yeah I think he recently admitted that he never practiced shooting until this season. Think about how ridiculous that is, he won sixth man of the year without practicing shooting!

i was at this game:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz5DXIezqr4&feature=relmfu

can't figure out how to do this move no matter how hard i try

I've tried this move when I was just shooting around. I think the key is to time your steps with the behind-the-back dribble because your feet have to be planted, then you dribble, then you hop step. Otherwise, it should be called a travel. That said, there's no way I could pull that off in a game, much less going full speed on a fast break. 😱

Wilt Chamberlain sucked too. Except that he used to have a restaurant where I lived which had the best brownie ice cream dessert and a basketball court to play on while you waited for your food. That's what made him great.

You got me! Except Lebron James really is the King of basketball.

I agree that he without a doubt is the best active player.

Since D-Rose is technically "inactive" I agree. As soon as he's back, LeBrick will be 2nd best. 😀

Durant will be better in a year or two. I was surprised to find out he only got his first triple double a few nights ago.

Last time Rose and LeBron were healthy for a full season D-Rose won MVP.

True, but Lebron completely shut down DRose in that eastern conference final. DRose won that MVP partially because of his leadership role in leading the Bulls to the best record in the NBA during the 2010 - 2011 regular season. DRose is younger than Lebron and has the potential to be one of the best guards of all time, we just have to wait and see.

MVP is subjective. Stats are not 🙂 Lebron would've won MVP that year if not for "The Decision"

The two are not related. He's won MVP since "The Decision."

Feelings change. Hatred falls away...

It's one thing if you think D. Rose is better. It's another if you outright deny that perception of a player off the court has nothing to do with the MVP votes.

Fans don't vote for MVP. I don't think "the decision" had too much weight on the MVP voting, but that's just my opinion.
 
oh yeah, LA all day, NBA has never been better in this town

Fans aren't the only ones who have non-biased opinions though. But fair enough.
