Espn thinks the squad only good enough for the 8th seed. I don't think we drop that low. -

The whole chemistry is off on that show ....nobody has the charisma to really make it entertaining .... Simmons wasn't terrible but he comes across as a Stan ass ? like some of these dudes posting ... Jalen is a little dull sometimes ...and coach Collins brings nothing to the table and don't even get me started in Sage.... Smh
They need to start from scratch... Steal Chris Webber from TNT and build around him

ESPN has the woat group of analysts. They need to get rid of all 3. They should make a run at Webber. Just pay him double what he's making at TNT ? it. Webber Legler/Steven A. and GP would be solid

Never understood any ngga who says all Jordans are ugly. What kind of weirdo type---nvm, we're all different I suppose.
Definitely the appeal has worn off b/c they've completely ? out Jordans, but if you're a age 25-40 year old man how can Jordans at no point mean anything to you. Weirdo ? imo.
Me personally i remember him hoopin in the 6's in his first finals
That scene in He Got Game
Etc, etc. The appeal has worn off but J's are the greatest kicks ever...just wont find me in too many, too many culture vultures and new nggas rockin em now

The NBA will announce Wednesday that LeBron James will play his first game in Miami since returning to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Christmas Day, according to sources briefed on the league's new schedule.
Sources told ESPN.com that the NBA's 2014-15 schedule -- which will be released in full Wednesday at 6 p.m. in an NBA TV special -- predictably sends James back to South Beach to face Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the rest of the Miami Heat on the marquee date of the league's regular-season calendar after James' decision last month to re-sign with his home-state Cavaliers.
The Los Angeles Times reported earlier this week that the L.A. Clippers and Golden State Warriors also will square off in one of the league's Christmas Day games in a renewal of the growing rivalry between the Pacific Division clubs.
Due to some last-minute shuffling, sources said, exactly when and where James will launch his second stint as a Cavalier is still being finalized. But sources insist that it will not be in San Antonio after considerable speculation in recent weeks that Cleveland would open the new season against the NBA's reigning champions.
Right Night for the Spurs, sources said, is tentatively scheduled for Oct. 28 at home against the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio's opponent for seven games in the first round of last spring's playoffs. -
I'm 26. Jordan's mean nothing to me.

She a stiff ...just another lifeless "suit" This article breaks it down perfectlyIf you missed it Wednesday night, we had a classic Disney moment. Before the Heat@Pacers Eastern Conference finals Game 5, remote studio host Sage Steele made reference that Miami forward Chris Andersen, aka The Birdman, would be unavailable for the second straight game because of a thigh injury.
Which triggered a vintage rap reference from the early aughts by Jalen Rose. Yes, attempting a little levity, Rose made the Birdman sound: "Brrrrrr!" and – better sit down here – the 62-year-old, whiter-than-your-fridge Collins actually answered with the chorus, "What happened to that boy?"
I guess it's gotta be osmosis from four different decades of NBA locker rooms. The delighted Rose fist-bumped Collins and exclaimed, "Yay-uh! Coach was in DC when that came out!"
And here's where it got really funny. Sage Steele clearly had no idea what they were talking about. Either derailed because her point about Andersen had been dismissed or simply left agog because she had no applicable notes or cue card to refer to, she froze. For about five seconds of dead air.
Which cuts to the heart of why TNT's crew is so awesome and ESPN's sucks so totally. Ernie Johnson would not have needed a reference point. He simply would have blurted out in his best button-down voice: "What the heck are you guys talking about?" Which would've been even funnier.
TNT's crew of Ernie, Charles Barkley, Kenny "The Jet" Smith and Shaquille O'Neal is the barbecue, the kegger, the barbershop on Saturday. You'd better be ready and you'd better come with sufficient ammo or you will be shot down. Anything's game, nothing's taken too seriously.
That's even when Shaq's ego gets in the way and he tries to pick fights with Chuck. Which always reminds me of a 12-year-old challenging his big brother's wit. Nothing good can come of it for the little guy.
Really, it all works because of Chuck and The Jet. They are matched like Seinfeld and Costanza. They understand each other. Kenny's analytics complement Chuck's humor. And Ernie is the perfect foil for both.
Shaq is just baggage, really; anyone could be in the fourth chair. Others have been. Chris Webber or Brent Barry might be an upgrade at this juncture.
But the point is, TNT's crew has reached a point where they barely seem to realize they're on TV anymore. That's a great place to be.
ESPN, on the other hand, is the ultimate corporatized plastic production. Everything Disney touches seems churned out of a Powerpoint presentation and 12 conference calls. -
Only people I ? with is my baby boo Doris Burke ...and sometimes Jalen .... but he needs someone better to bounce off other than Simmons ...it just doesn't work on air ...

Jordans are teenage girl shoes now.

Doris Burke's passion for the game is very evident. That's part of the reason she's likable.
That and the fact that he drops great insight and gives an unbiast perspective is why ppl love Hubie Brown. -

Where's Whitlocks power moves? All the shucking and jiving get him? Where's his site that ESPN promised him? I'll tell you where, he can't get enough writers because they can't stand him. Fat ?

http://nosebleedsectionsports.com/top-10-starting-backcourts-in-the-nba-for-the-2014-15-season/1. John Wall (19.3 PPG, 8.8 APG, 4.1 RPG) and Bradley Beal (17.1 PPG, 3.3 APG, 3.7 RPG) wall and beal
THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT IN DC!!!! Almost as bright as Bradley Beal’s smile… so perfect. Have I mentioned I have a big NBA man crush on the former Gator? I was lucky enough to see him play in person at the McDonald’s All-American game in 2011 and instantly became a fan. The youth of this tandem is almost scary because of how good they already are. Beal, 21, can light it up from anywhere, and I mean anywhere, on the court. Wall compliments him perfectly as arguably the best “drive and kick” point guard in the league. Brad (he lets me call him that) is poised and on his way to becoming the best scoring two guard in the league, and at his current trajectory, he will get there soon. Wall, 23, has the talent and poise to be the top point guard in the NBA. His jump shot is improving every year, and few run an offense better than the Kentucky graduate. Don’t be surprised when he averages 20 points and 10 assists this season. Last year they put Washington on the map, and gave us spectators a little taste of what’s to come. I must say it again, the future is bright in DC. Not only did they beat “The Splash Brothers” on this list, but they also beat them for out for coolest backcourt nickname. The “House of Guards” is ready to become a perennial playoff team and title contender. So there you have it, the top 10 starting backcourts in the NBA for the 2014-2015 season. With every list, there is always some second guessing, and here are some of the duo’s that just missed the cut
Much love to jdstaywitdaoptometry lmao for posting my article and actually backing up his stats and knowing his basketball. I know the list aint perfect, but its my opinion and imma stick to it.

Espn thinks the squad only good enough for the 8th seed. I don't think we drop that low.
Somehow losing parsons has bcone equal to us losing a top 10 player in the league. Like I said before you give me ariza and parsons I'm taking Parsons all day but for THIS TEAM ariza is fine. We need a guy who can guard the perimeter and shoot 3's and he does that. I think we're a 5th seed, 6th seed at worse but maybe that's the homer in me
