So the Knicks were going to come back and win by double digits and Cleveland were going to come back and win easy ? Can I get your early prediction for the line on Friday ?

I can see it being a blow out as well. If the Nets are giving up around 5.5 or thereabouts I'm all over it.

Steve Kerr was no dummy for taking the GS job
I've got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell!

Indeed. Talk about apples and oranges. They are definite contenders.

"They are definite contenders."

Assuming everyone (or at least Curry, Bogut, and Thompson) stay mostly healthy, yup.

They've looked poor since the start of preseason. Not sure if its just a phase or something more- their offseason moves were terrible. They have Crawford as really their only good bench player, and their starting SF is terrible. I'm not sold on Redick either. I think that teams over rated.

I'm not convinced that they're contenders. Kind of remind me of those Suns teams that always did well in the regular season, but could never get to the finals. Still, the West is slightly weaker than people anticipated this year, so you never know.

I'm watching the Portland game and I'm impressed with what I see from Thomas Robinson, CJ McCullom, Will Barton, Meyers Leonard and Joel Freeland. They really got those guys rotting on the bench.

I think the Blazers declined Thomas Robinsons option, so he'll be a UFA in the offseason- kind of surprised me as he seems to be doing okay for them as a backup PF

Robinson is a nice player. The only problem with him is that he is a little undersized for a PF. They have him listed as 6'10" but he is more like 6'8".

Now that Lin is no longer there

Stopped following them when Lin left. Can't argue with the record. Is it really his coaching though or is it just Harden becoming more of a 2 way player now? My understanding is that Harden has been playing some really good defense and his stint with the US National Team is to be thanked for. I also thought they had a downgade with Reezy but it looks like he is making a big difference with the defense. Reezy and Dwight are a good combination in the defensive front. They have had a pretty easy schedule so far. I want to see how they do against tougher competition. They man handled the Spurs so that is a start.

I still stand with what I saw last year. He was a bad coach last year. Just watch the series against the Blazers.

I think you can argue with their record- it's been ridiculously easy: Lakers, Jazz, Celtics, 76ers, Spurs resting Duncan and co. Only quality win was vs the Heat.

Which means you were never really providing yourself

With enough credibility to give an objective view of their team


I saw video of McHale yesterday teaching D-12 how to post

Something assistant coaches should be doing


If Harden is playing better D McHale can't get credit for this

Yeah Riza helps but appears McHale has made it real easy for him to transition into their system


It only goes to a player when the team performs well but when they

Perform bad then blame the coach, naaaahhhh not buying that
