Yeah i must have missed the part where you predicted that 2 years ago. You bet on Minnesota got your clock cleaned on that and now you are running from it.


You are only now hopping on the Boston bandwagon and when i predicted this there was no Tatum.or Irving. or Hayward.

You been wromg about Philly Every step of the way. You're done and nothing more than a "master of the obvious" at this point.

I'm still rolling with Philly but i won't bet against Boston.

Guess you showed me :shock:

OKC better than Utah? Did you watch the NBA last year?

I’d put LA 4th right now. If they trade for Kawhi I got them 2nd.

The Lakers can't shoot 3s, and Lebron doesn't help them defensively.

Having them ahead of OKC, Utah, Philly is the FF kiss of death.

Love me some Barkley as an entertainer but you’re looking in the wrong place if you are looking to him to educate you and be insightful on the modern NBA.

What Barkley stated last night was spot on. They were pushing the playing with Lebron makes everyone better angle and he correctly called them out on it. He stated that all everyone talked about during the Finals was how shitty his teammates were so how can they make the statement that he "makes them better".

In addition is this. Lebron played in all 82 games last season and his team only won 50 games. This occurred in a weaker conf with a supporting cast that is superior to that of the Lakers. During the playoffs he was extended to 7 games twice with one of the teams missing its 2 top players.

If the Lakers do not make significant upgrades to what they have now there is no way he contends for anything.

If you substitute Paul George (a guy that MANY on here seem to think is no good for some odd reason) for Lebron they still win 42-45 games.

Its hard to play with Lebron James If you are a guy that likes to handle the ball or create your own i.e. Lance make her dance then you won't look good playing alongside of him. He is the only guy that ever handles the ball. If you are a big that likes to post up i.e Kevin Love or even T. Thompson forget it as he has to have his all important floor spacing.


Not to mention the fact that he doesn't even attempt to play defense.

He is going to struggle in the West. If they don't make a significant move during the offseason there is no way they will be an upper echelon team.

So you think LeBron is good for 5 more wins? Cavs are still a playoff team (#6 seed) without him.

Yep. 5-8 if he is replaced with an All Star caliber guy.The other guys will look better if they are teamed with a guy not as Ball dominant as James

About 35 wins. It wouldn't be something stupid like 15-20.
They have better talent than that and it was interesting to note that some experts actually were making the claim that Cleveland's second unit was good enough to make the playoffs prior to the start of the season.


How many wins do you think he is worth?

I'm just fucking with you.

Idk. Maybe 30 or 35.

I doubt they make the trade deadline deals either.

why, why, why would the Spurs trade Leonard to the Lakers?

The Lakers have very few 3 and D guys. This will still be a trying year for them. It's next year that they've got to shoot for.
