    1. Cavs obviously...If they had Love and Irving...the Warriors wouldve been in a ton of trouble in this series. What we have come to understand is that Lebron(this version), Love and Irving will be more than enough to net them a title.
    2. Warriors, granted they can stay healthy will never be out of anything. Coaching made a huge difference. Took a borderline team and has them at the brink of a title. It will take a great defensive coach to solve this team's offensive efficiency. If they win this year, they become that much more scarier next.
    3. Vegas loves Donovan, and if there is anyone that can max out Durant, Ibaka and Westbrook...its Billy. OKC returns to prominence next year.
    4. Vegas is still stunned at how the Clippers lost to the Rockets...They are doubling down on these clowns...
    5. They just never die...
    6. Huge reach...Bulls are gonna falter a lot without Thibs. Thibs maxed out that team.

    I personally dont know how the Rockets will do. This year was strung out with some crazy injuries...but Harden was the rock throughout the season/Howard was throughout the postseason. As Harden enters his prime, the Rockets better set him up with two way players. He has shown tremendous ability to score, but he needs help - whether excellent post play OR a true 2ndary playmaker! Lot to look forward too for next season.

    i dont know what this kind of tweets is trying to say.

    for most nba teams, you strip their #1, 2, 3 guys off the lineup, and see how they'd fare with the best team in the league. i bet they'd have the similar stats.

    Lebron deserves the Finals MVP whether the Cavs win or lose. His numbers are historically insane!

    The #2 and #3 guys are off the court all the time. This is just a comparison how much impact Lebron has when he's on the floor vs not, and why he has to play basically every minute of every game. Nothing to do with Love or Irving.

    Game 7 is inevitable. Especially now that hockey is over too. The NBA can continue its rating domination

    [Haynes] LeBron James says they will start the same starting lineup and see what happens from there. (twitter.com)

    They better find a way to have some ammo in the fourth quarter for once.

    With LeBron on the court, they were competitive even though their #2, 3 guys were out.

    Remember we made the miracle come back against the Clippers with our #1 guy on the bench?
