    Pop
    Kerr
    Kidd I would put ahead of him. But Stevens is the real deal

    It's been less than a quarter and Lebron is already shamelessly favored by the refs. Obvious fouls and goal tends going uncalled.

    Olynyk went up exactly like Dwight did with his arms just slightly forward except he wasn't called for a foul.

    Pops is better and that's it. Kerr could not get a bunch of dleaguers to the playoffs.

    If Harden and dwight got the calls LeBron does ( and doesn't), we'd be unstoppable.

    Thomas is a beast, if the Rockets got him at the deadline the league would be ****ed.

    The nba isn't going to let Lebron lose in the first round. Celtics should be up by 10.

    OOOOOMMMMMMGGGGGGG
    Harden shot 17 free throws. I've heard of homerism but this is on another level.

    I really like Chrowder's game. He is tough and versatile.

    Should have been maybe a foul on Lebron when he got that ball stolen?

    Cavs defense is just too porous to be considered a real contender, in my opinion. Unless LBJ goes GOAT status or the NBA caters him to a title, I don't see the Cavs winning it.

    In my opinion, five West teams can beat the Cavs if they meet in the Finals (Warriors, Spurs, Rockets, Clippers and Grizzlies). Hawks may beat the Cavs if the Hawks go into East-Spurs mode.

    Chrowder is a poor man's Draymond Green.

    When LBJ wants to attack the basket, he is the most unstoppable player in the league.

    Only player capable of stopping him was Dwight Howard in 2009 - 2011.
