That's would be like today's LeBron and Anthony. Trading 2s for 3s.

And here is LeBron James, 1 A or 1B all time, 34 years old, playing possibly his most compete game, next to what most figured would be a top 3 player if he would ever stay healthy. Clips probably win in 6 if everyone is healthy because you can't trade 2s for 3s and a more complete and deep team. Pg and Kawhi will be 29 and 30 by finals. That's 3-4 more years at peak performance. We may look back on these 2 the way we look back at Mike and Scottie, if they stay healthy.

It's 2 of the best and most complimentary duos we have seen since, gulp, Scottie and Michael. Being that its a guards game, nod goes to Clips.

I haven't watched a ton of games but I would like to see more defensive intensity. I think when Vic shows up the intensity of the entire team will jump.

I make a white chicken chili that I'm always told is the best. Been using the pressure cooker lately but the best flavor is grilling the chicken loaded up with seasoning, think Mexican. Lots of cumin. Garlic, Cheyenne, little paprika-not a personal favorite, chili powder, salt, pepper. 2 cans of tomatoes with jalapenos, an onion, 4 cans northern beans, 2-4 lbs of chicken depending on audience. Feel free to put sausage or even bacon I the mix it up. Half a block or Velveeta or just cheddar and sour cream. You cant mess it up really. I like hint of lime tortillas and fresh guac and pico. If pressure cooking do your chicken with tomatoes(acidic) and chicken broth covering the meat first. Then chop your meat and throw everything back in another 10 mins or so.

way better deal all the way around with the better player at this point in their careers.

Was thinking about this the other day when Pacers played Jazz. Connally vs. Brogdon. It would have been nice to have Connelly in here for about 10 million but 35 no way Jose

How does this work? Once you have 5000+ subscribers you start getting a cut off of views?

Meanwhile, ESPN and their advertisers just made who knows how much money last night airing little James and wade Jr. Don't miss it as they will be aired 16 more times this season. These are now essentially professional athletes not getting paid. Que the brand building argument. Wade may never play in the NBA. If im them I'm getting consulting from the Kardashian and hitlons on how to get paid for being a social media darling.

How long before Carmelo is cut? They are -20 with him on the floor tonight in 24 minutes.

ESPN is saying 2 weeks but I'd keep him out 2 months or longer just to make sure.

So the Blazers have lost 6 of 8 and like 4 of them were to terrible teams. Anyone know the problem?

Must have slept through this one. Was offered tickets but too busy.

Is it a sign of things to come that Sabonis blew up when Turner went down with the ankle, and then the pacers got their first w? Granted, lots went well. Shots were falling. Lamb broke out. Warren had a nice game. They played with a sense of urgency.

Pacers are young and will be peaking I'm the next 2-3 years. They are a well rounded team, has a competent gm that has made wise moves each year. Brogden is perfect for Oladipo. Warren is nice next to him. I wonder if the most lethal lineup won't wind up being Brogden, Oladipo, lamb, Warren, and one of the bigs. Wish we could have kept Bojan along with that infusion. As some of these other teams age out, the pacers are aging in.

Clearly the clips are the favorites for a reason this season and likely next. Them and maybe the sixers current team will have a better top 5 next year. Yes, i agree their defense sucks and will suck next year along with the bench. But they also know this is the last rodeo, they will make moves. I still stand by my statement and will go ahead and rank that the 3rd best starting 5 next year.

Draymond just showed like 6 months ago he's still capable. His playoff run showed that. He is like a 2nd robin. He needs clay and Steph in order for him to play his role. He's about to get super exposed by himself. That's not his game. 4 all stars. Who else has 4? Philly potentially. Lakers 3 if Kuzma jumps or if you count old men who used to have it. Clips are just deep and well organized, high end talent top 2 and the back court d to mitigate Steph and klay, no doubt. Bucks Giannis and a fringe 3 and d all star. Houston, they try but they dont play winning ball. Denver and Utah are nice teams but they have to prove it. Portland? What am i missing? Klay, Steph, and dray swept them 6 months ago. Klay was spoke of as possibly the best 2 guard in the league. Today, they have no depth. By next year there will be improvements. I'm not saying they will win it all again but they aren't out of it when healthy. So yeah, top 3 starting 5 next year all day long. They are trash now and will likely have a 14% chance at number one pick.

I still stand by my statement that next year, all healthy, they still will have a top 3 starting 5. 4 all stars and maybe they flip their pick that will be top 5 for a solid big or at least add some depth.

Love trash talk and stare downs. Curry just gets on my nerves. Some guys wear confidence with strength, he wears it like a brat I want to punch. That's the difference to me. Kawhi's way over Curry all day long for me.

I'd trade him. Of course I don't like his stupid shimmy crap so I'm biased.

Can little guys stay healthy long term?

Curry will be 32 in march, dray and clay are both 29. They don't need Dray for scoring when you have healthy steph and clay. I'd say Russel is tradeable unless he decides to play d. Draft the best big available or flip the pick for a nice piece and next year that's a top 3 starting 5. Luck into James Wiseman. Who knows. They have no cap space so they have no depth. At some point you have to think business over loyalty and maybe they trade Dray. If they go the Belichick route they ship Steph before his value plummets.

Thought i just read in the last week he was most likely getting bought out at some point and going lakers.

Clips are deep. There is a reason they are the favorites.

You left out the and LeBron part. That pick and roll game of those 2 is pretty though. When it comes down to a possession or 2, everyone healthy, all things clicking. It's going to be interesting out west to watch it all unfold.
