The East is terrible, I saw a graphic on ESPN the other night where they listed the top 15 players in the NBA and 13 play out West and the only 2 in the East were LeBron & Kyrie. At this rate, the Cavs has a ridiculous easy path back to the finals.
The problem is not that the Magic traded Oladipo, it is they traded him for Ibaka. The Magic could not afford to have both Evan and Dipo on $80 million contracts and hope to ever develop Mario. IMO Vogel should play Gordon at the 4 and play Mario over Rudez and Watson.
With the cap being only $102 million next year, won't the Warriors have a hard time resigning Curry and Durant? Maybe the Magic can make a run at him. Also, wouldn't Westbrook want to go to LA since he is from there and went to college there.
Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, a 7ft cardboard cutout.
That is a hell of a starting lineup regardless of who plays center. The league might as well hand the Warriors the title now.
Can Kyrie and Lebron keep up the efficient shooting for 3 more games to win the series? Will the Warriors continue to miss wide open shots (I'm looking at you Harrison Barnes)? I think the Warriors close this out in 6 because instead of having Barnes wide open for shots, it will be be Draymond open and he cannot be worse than Barnes was in the second half.
How would you describe Dwight as a teammate, great, above average, average, slightly below average, bad, cancer? At best I would say he is a slightly below average to a cancer.
