    If wade stays like this, heat will be fine

    Fine like 2nd round exit? Or fine like Repeate finals appearance? I think there ceiling is conference finals. They can't beat the Bulls or Cavs in 7 games. Can't see it

    I know they aint going to the finals but if he plays like this, they could possibly be a top 4 seed in the east

    The 30 for 30 for the Knicks was good, but then you realize their franchise history, the Knicks are a overhyped franchise with great NBA individual team moments at MSG.

    From what I've seen(which is limited obviously) Ariza will do everything parsons did plus play better d. Like I said when we got him for THIS SQUAD ariza is just as good as chandler at half the price. Problem is our bench bout to potentially be w.o.a.t. Hopefully Waiters get his kobe on in Cleveland and we can get him at the deadline

    lotta overreacting to the rockets offseason ... they will be good still

    Is there any reason why there is so much doubt surrounding Kobe?

    Sure he's slower, not as athletic etc but that's natural. Other than age he hasn't shown a decline that warrants all of this criticism he's been getting.

    Every incident on the court has been blown up because the ? is ancient in NBA years but he's still showing he can compete at an elite level.

    i think ppl have been waiting on his downfall for so long (pertaining to his game) they don't kno how to act... Kobe is one of the few greats that always gets unwarranted and genuine hate and disrespect by the nba fanbase and media...

    The best PG in the nba

    Chill out. We won't be able to call that until the All Star break. We gotta see how Rose bounces back, and if Kyrie can take the next step and pick up where he left off with team USA. Don't forget about Westbrook either. With no KD we need to see if he can elevate that team and be the man. Curry has a new coach and CP3 has a lot to prove this year.

    When you think about it all of the top PG's have a lot to prove this season. I'm biased so I'm gonna say Kyrie will be the best by seasons end but there are two many factors with all of them that we need to see play out. Rose does look good right now though.

    Lol Love was wide the ? open and been stroking the 3....Kyrie was determined to shoot that ball to prove a point and make sure the box score states that he didn't get sonned by Rose ( which he did)....between Waiters and Kyries tunnel visions gotta get mine attitude, the Scabs will implode at the 1st sign of adversity or a few consecutive losses

    Word, that tunnel vision is mad annoying.

    It's always better to pass up a good shot for a great shot... and that wasn't even necessarily a good shot, just a tough shot that he happened to make... but a low percentage one...
