    would be great to have a top-5 defense this year. that plus lebron/AD offensively is...pretty tough to contend with.

    You love it and then you have to also worry about practice we're talkin' bout practice as additional chance to get hurt. No point in stressing or wondering or 2nd guessing roster choices over injuries. Just random s***. Whoever of the real contenders on paper and logically ..... stays healthiest...... has one of the best chances to win the ring.

    Some of the worst foul calls are the ones never made, but they have insulated themselves from that being an issue. There will never be a perfect system.

    I wonder if defensive fouls will be overturned to offensive fouls if the replay warrants it. Or, will it just be ruled a non call, ball out of bounds?

    not to mention that a lot of the annoying officiating things aren't missed calls but rather very annoying interpretations of rules. i believe someone referred to harden's game recently as "litigation-ball", and that summed it up pretty nicely. it's like when they drew a circle for the charge but sort of ignored that people were sliding under airborne players to get outside it.

    HA! That's great. I think we're going to like him. What would Ty Lue's reaction to even have the chance to coach the Los Angeles Lakers and Lebron for 3 years be?

    It says in the release. And yes, this is an actual quote: "The coach must immediately signal a challenge by twirling a finger towards the referees."

    For the first time in years I can say that I actually liked a Lakers coach's substitutions. Loved the starting lineup. Liked everything I saw except a bit too much Rondo. Otherwise it was all pretty great.

    yeah, i know people got excited because houston executed an incredibly switch-heavy scheme a couple years ago, but that seems to have been a fluke.

    Bigs in drop coverage in today's NBA full of shooters isn't going to make it.

    A.D and Javale better show higher on screens , if not we are going to give up tons of open 3s on a nightly basis .
