Guys like Parsons and Hernangomez on the list as well as recently traded Ibaka and Tobias Harris from last year. DFS makes the list as well. Wesley Matthews.... nowhere to be seen.

Salary cap dropping another 2m makes the Powell contract and Wes contract even more "sweet".

Wow, the Cavs just blew a 26-point 4th quarter lead to lose the game in O/T.

Gotta say I used to hate Westbrook and Harden. Still can't stand the beard because of his style, but now that the Mavs and OKC are not exactly rivals any longer, feels good for the turtle. In the end he committed to the Thunder when "others" left although you could make a valid case that he might not if the lesser Dirk had stayed.
Hope Westbrook gets that MVP. Harden seems to know he's beat and is crying as loud as he can without dissing RWB

WB should get it. Yeah, he obviously stat chased but at the same time, the rest of that team doesn't do crap without him and to actually average a triple double ... seriously.
If Harden ever wins MVP, that is more reason to stop watching the NBA and consider fake just like WWE. I watched 5 minutes of a Houston game and already saw him flopping and giving up on defense when he didn't get a call. And the way Houston campaigns for him is just ridiculous. Now he is whining cause he realizes that WB is going to actually win it?!? Dude, grow up, this isn't High School anymore.

Westbrook is the MVP and it won't be as close as people are saying it is.
Harden will win next year. Kawhi the year after.

Nothing would make me happier than seeing Harden miss getting his MVP.

Cheering hard for Pels and Kings.
Pels win prevents us from 10. Kings win would allow us to go from 9 to 8.5

Equal ping pong balls for moving into top 3. If odd number of balls, coin flip determines who gets the extra, as well as the higher pick should they both not move into the top 3.

There are some interesting storylines this year...
Thunder vs. Rockets -- MVP vs. MVP
Spurs vs. Grizz -- shaping up to be SA's biggest playoff rivalry since the Mavs, both grind-it-out teams (although it's gonna be a bloodbath the way Memphis has fallen apart down the stretch)
Celtics vs. Bulls -- Rondo plays his old team (could've been Wade if Miami had snuck in)
Raptors vs. Bucks -- Carlisle coaching tree; Casey vs. Kidd!
Plus, Clips vs. Jazz and Wizards vs. Hawks are so evenly matched that I could see the series going either way...

If Miami had made it Chicago would have been out. Maybe I am misreading your statement though. I think I'm most excited to watch Utah/LAC. I hope LAC gets bounced in the 1st round and they finally break up that team.

Oops, you're right... Don't know what I was thinking there.
I'll salvage this by saying, eff Rondo and Wade -- I hope the Bulls get swept.

Pacers are right there to steal game 1. Down 4 with 1:30 to go.
Down 1 with 20 sec. Pacers ball. I wish we could get Paul George somehow. Dude is a baller.

Watching Giannis play is seriously depressing. Closest thing to Lebron in the league.

Yeah I heard that as well! Pretty crazy. But those handles and that length is insane. I think him and Lebron are the only non-Centers to average 20 pts and 50 FG%+ (although I may be incorrect).

If Giannis ever turns into an average shooter from mid-range and out, there's no way he isn't absolutely ruling the league. As it is now I think he's a top-10 player and he's only 22 or 23.
