Yeah BRoy has struggled hard these last few games. Hope he can shake it off.

Wow that's some bull<Censored>....

Bucks ruin the Mavs winning streak in Dallas...

Tonight, they played the Spurs in San Antonio, came back from 16 at half to tie the game.

Manu just hit a game winner as time expired

Lol, Kevin Durant isn't better than LBJ or Wade.

Hate it when you let your hate for them as a person cloud your basketball judgment. Everybody was singing a different tune last season and nothing has changed. Kevin Durant's shooting percentages are doodoo this year.

If I was starting a franchise I'd take KD over Wade and LBJ point blank.

Yeah but does that truly make KD the better player? I think I would start a franchise with KD as well, but Wade and LBJ could very well be better. The thing that is great about KD is his loyalty... Lebron? Not so much. But Kevin Durant still has room to develop and be even better and he's still at the beginning or hasn't entered his total prime. That's the reason anyone would have him to start a franchise.

Durant is also 3 years younger than LBJ and like 5 or 6 years younger than Wade, so you'd be foolish not to take him if you're starting a franchise. Doesn't make him a better player.

Durant is probably the best pure scorer in the league, but he's not showing it at all this year. Like I said, his shooting percentages are pretty bad this year, the shots just aren't falling for him. The only thing Durant is better at than LeBron is scoring, but LeBron is still one of the best in the league.

LeBron doesn't have the go-to-guy mentality though. If you have Durant and Lebron on the same team, there's no chance you don't give Durant the ball with the game on the line.

Hornets came back from 23 down to beat the Kings tonight.

CP had 22 points and 11 assists...But the real player was Marcus Thornton who came off the bench to score 19 (mostly all in second half) in 23 minutes of play.

So it went from Durant being better, to him being the better pure scorer, to him having the go-to-guy mentality.

Backpedaling much?

I'm not backpedaling, I'm telling you why I'd take him over LeBron.

lolwut?
He is just giving you multiple reasons on why he thinks Durant is better. I don't agree with him but he isn't "backpedaling" at all.

WTF?

What can Melo possibly add to that team? They clearly don't need more scoring.

If he's that stupid to go to a team that doesn't need him, then let him.

It's baffling to see how most of these NBA players made it out of HS.

I was able to catch the game last night after I got off when Ray Allen hit that tech FT and it was tied at 94

I swear to you in 8:34 I havent had as many up and down emotions in my life lol

Hell of a game, we played really well but in the end the Celtics veteran leaders won them the game, our lack of size hurt us too, especially when we had to put DubC on KG and Amare couldnt get a rebound over him when it mattered most.

So its time to bring in a defensive big without a doubt, I say go after Camby, rumblings are the Blazers might start moving some vets...

But I think my hate for PP grew to an all-time high last night.

Safe to say the Rivalry is back on?

I hated it when Paul Pierce knocked the game winner and danced like a little girl on the court

Me too, I never wanted to piece up PP before, but that had me kinda heated lol

And the bow.... smh

Somebody shoulda T.O.'d his ass.

But he gave us props post-game, I think he just wants to re-ignite a rivalry after all his comments, which would be great for the league.

Damn, the Knicks almost beat the Celtics. That is a very good sign, they played very well but they need to learn how to play lockdown defense in the 4th quarter when having a good lead. Amare 4 MVP!!!
