Looks like James Harden has been To the Rockets for Jeremey Lamb, Kevin Martin and future picks. Plus... this is a general NBA thread.

LeBron can play and defend 5 positions and Bosh can make free throws.

The Heat are going to breeze through the playoffs again and probably win in 6 or less.

Lets just be honest. The NBA's biggest flaw is when a super team is just too super (MJ's Bulls) and you pretty much already know who is going to win it before the season starts.

Hootie · 01-24-2013, 03:15 PM

LeBron James is the best basketball player ever, period.

He's just not Michael Jordan in terms of Michael Jordan in the clutch especially in the postseason was something that we will never, ever, ever see again.

But LeBron's pure basketball game is just ridiculous. He can effectively shut down Derrick Rose...and Dwight Howard. He can play every position and play astonishingly well at all of them.

The Heat have been less than dominant this season. While I'm expecting them to be in the Finals, they're not going to breeze in the playoffs. And even last year they had a 6 game series with the Pacers and a 7 game series with the Celtics.

The Thunder, Clippers, Spurs and Grizzlies are capable of beating the Heat. The Heat are the favorites until some beats them in the playoffs, but if you think it's as drastic as Jordan's Bulls you are high, drunk or stupid.

Shut down Rose? Rose averages something like 30-5-6 against the Heat.

The west is amazingly strong this season. There are 3-4 teams in the West better than the Heat IMO. The worst out of the 4 teams is the Grizzlies and ironically, they're the team the Heat would have the most trouble with.

LeBron absolutely shut him down in the playoffs a few years back.

and the Heat are on cruise control right now. It's the regular season.

Wait until the playoffs.

I agree on the Grizzlies. That's the last team the Heat would want to play.

That maybe part of it but I don't know if that will fix their rebounding woes.

Heat did what they had to do to win. My point still stands. Pacers were up 2-1, with another game at home to go up 3-1. LeBron went Supernova in that game 4, and the rest is history.

40/18/9/2/2 - not a bad line

Derrick rose was also like 20-21 years old. It was his what 2 nod year in the league. He hasn't even peaked yet. Hopefully he gets that chance cause he's fun to watch.

we'll see

I love the Bulls and I love D Rose but an ACL in the NBA is a lot different than an ACL in the NFL
