The Lebron vs Curry show at the end was great to watch.

Is it just me or is the Dunk comp just getting lamer each year?

I just think our expectations are higher..

The dunk contest format this year was average

but it would hard for them to come up with new dunks every year, sometimes I think it would be better having it every 3 years or so
but then they need to bring in a new comp to replace it..
also East beat West today 163-155

Ktrie Irving named MVP.


bring him to the lakers!!

The dunks were still good but the whole format was lame.
That bit with Shaq was just cringeworthy

75% is ok. He should be at 80%, but far from shit.

Hard to come up with new dunks, pretty much everything has been done so they're just playing with the build up and peripheral stuff. The dunks are the same but to me the whole comp jumped the shark the day Griffin jumped the car.

Patty Mills gave CP3 a lesson today, 16 points in the fourth on his way to a game high 25 for the Spurs

Back to back game highs for Patty. 29 today in the Spurs close win over Portland

Only team high Jim but he is playing incredible at the moment. Plenty of confidence so put up plenty of shots

Danny Granger traded to Philly for Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen

NBA playoff match ups set with my predictions:

East

(1) Indiana vs (8) Atlanta (Pacers 4-1)

(2) Miami vs (7) Charlotte (Heat 4-1)

(3) Toronto vs (6) Brooklyn (Nets 4-2)

(4) Chicago vs (5) Washington (Bulls 4-2)

West

(1) San Antonio vs (8) Dallas (Spurs 4-1)

(2) Oklahoma City vs (7) Memphis (Thunder 4-2)

(3) LA Clippers vs (6) Golden State (Clippers 4-2)

(4) Houston vs (5) Portland (Rockets 4-2)

For me
Indiana 4-2
Miami 4-2
Toronto 4-1
Chicago 4-3
San Antonio 4-1
OKC 4-3
LA Clippers 4-1
Houston 4-2

I think the most intriguing match up is the Brooklyn v Toronto one.

Although Brooklyn has the potential to go deeper in to the playoffs and genuinely challenge Miami in the 2nd round, whereas Toronto wouldn't, I think they're really gonna struggle to overcome Toronto in this series.
Toronto would be pissed too that Brooklyn appeared to drop the last game so they could play them instead of Chicago. That'll add some spice to the series.

What's the thoughts on Indiana getting knocked out in the conference semis? While Miami would be just playing possum in some of those games towards the end, the pacers dropping games just seemed to be something different.

Nets dont impress at all, Knicks crushed them a couple of times this season and had a 3-1 record against them. Maybe we just match up well on them but I reckon they will get blown away in the playoffs

Yeah but the nets record against the big teams this year hasn't been to bad at all. Particularly in the 2nd half of the year.
Just like Miami losing to a Boston or a Denver, the Nets losing to the Knicks wouldn't have bothered them at all.

Nets 94-87 Toronto
GSW 109-105 Clippers
Hawks by 14 at 3/4 Time

Hawks 101-93 Pacers
OKC with a 8-0 start

Thunder by plenty, Grizzlies terrible, currently 9/43 from the field and still havnt scored a point from outside the paint and its nearly halftime
