I do it to tweak Hoopster. Its one of life's great joys. Frankly, I am thrilled that he played a part in bringing Vic home.

So, the Lakers dump Bryant to presumably make room for Paul George. I read that to mean that Thomas will be Most Improved Player in the NBA next season.

I just don't understand why the Mavs drafted Brunson unless they were concerned that Yogi may get a big offer elsewhere.

That move would destroy whatever image KD has left.

Combined PER for Oladipo and Sabonis last season - 40.6 Combined PER for Paul George and...... - 18.7

I know he's not a point guard, but I find this comparison interesting. Darrin Collison - PER of 18.8 last season Paul George - PER of 18.7 last season

Collison, Joseph, and Holliday is an above average trio. Two veterans to hold fort until the rookie is ready. Pacers could do a LOT worse than Collison as their starter. I hate to see Lance go. He was a vital piece to last year's success.

This thread has gone to pot.

Congrats. I'm not at 230 yet, but could get there if I don't do something. I've started and stopped multiple times and lost 10-15 pounds quickly. Then the backsliding starts. tthis thread is motivating me to start again and stick with it.

By My calculation, I have dropped over 1,300 pounds of excess weight over the years. The most at one time was 280 pounds. Ex #5 had a lot to love.

It's KD's

And you, sir, are now known as PartyPoopster.

LeBron goaltended on Vic's shot.

Life has it all backwards. I should be rewarded the older I get by being able to eat whatever I want. Instead, that happened in my teens. Now, I think about cheesecake and gain 5 pounds.

I am rooting for Cleveland as if I am a Cavs fan. And, I'm not a Cavs fan.

LBJ is the GOAT. Not sure what else he has to do to gain that title.

If I am an NBA player, I don't stand for this. It happened to the Rockets this time, but could be another team, another group of players, down the road. Some of those Rockets players may never get another chance at making the finals. This wasn't one bad call (such as Don Denkinger in the World Series). This was blatant, WWE level, match-fixing. Boogie Cousins and Jeremy Lin tweeted last night about it. Every NBA player, including those on the Warriors, need to send a message to the NBA with a clear directive that this better not ever happen again. I had renewed interest in the NBA this season with Vic being on the Pacers. I now have no desire at all to watch the NBA finals after what happened last night.

Agreed. And, I did not even watch the 2nd half. There were enough 'missed' calls in the 2nd quarter to convince me a fix was in place. The media can't let something this blatant alone can they? The NBA should be embarassed. That was bad enough, and in an important enough game, that it could bring down the league.

If whining bothers you that much then you can't like Vic either.

I firmly believe that LeBron is disliked more than he should be because he is so good. He's done nothing to disrespect the game outside of a misguided publicitly moment as a free agent. But, everything he does on the court is worthy of respect. And, before someone brings up whining, Vic does lot of that as well.

What does 'doe snot' have to do with basketball?

The man did not come out of the game. That, just by itself, says something.

LeBron goaltended Vic's shot.

It was not intentional. Sorry. I can't take the undeserved credit.
