    I am curious for the hawks pistons game. Also the grizzlies need to destroy the Pelicans I want a good draftpick.

    I say go Pelicans, I want 1st place in the division (even though divisions are pointless, it would be cool to win the toughest division).

    Can't believe Pistons/Hawks became a marquee matchup. Who would've predicted that a month ago?

    And go Pelicans. Screw the pick(for one night only). I want the Rockets to move up in the standings.

    Let's go Cavs, Pelicans, and lord I hope the Pistons win again so they can go 8-0 after the Josh Smith "trade". Yup I've seen this stat around, "trade"

    Yep. Sucks for us Rockets fans who want them to panic and deal Dragic, but on the flip side, what if we wind up with a top 2 or 3 seed and don't have to worry about the prospect of facing OKC in Round 1 cuz Phoenix finishes ahead of them(or prevents them from even getting in)?

    Seeding doesn't matter. It's the record that does. We've been the 5th seed in the past and had home court over the 4th seed.

    Woah, just saw that the Suns can move into the 7 seed. That would be fascinating

    The Spurs are in trouble if they don't get Kawhi back soon. Even if everyone else is healthy, they are not a good team without him. Even last season when they were coasting to a 62-win season(and would've won way more had Pop not rested anyone) and a title, their biggest struggle came when he missed a few games due to injury.

    Anyone starting to question how much Leonard is really worth? Seems he has missed some time now, even dating back to last season. Sure he's a tremendous player but is he worth the contract he's bound to get? Just a thought of mine..

    Leonard is such an unknown.

    That Spurs system is something else.

    I don't care what he's really worth. As long as some other team(preferably one from the East) throws a crapload of money at him this offseason and either steals him from the Spurs or forces them to use up all their caproom to match.

    Kawhi is Shawn Marion 2.0

    That's a compliment, Matrix was one of my favorite players growing up.

    Still, I don't believe he can lead a team and thus isn't deserving of franchise money

    exactly how i feel. and marion was putting up ridiculous numbers. i know spurs fans who legitimately think kawhi can lead the league in scoring and put lebron type stats . :confused::confused::confused:

    he is a really good player, but not a superstar. lebron, kd, george, and anthony are all better SF's when healthy.
