Re: The NBA Thread
The Clippers are my favorite team in the west and even though it's early they're proving to be legit contenders in the West. Haven't had a chance to watch the Grizzlies, but they're also pretty good from what I can tell so far. They still don't really have a go to guy in the fourth, but Rudy Gay could be the answer. Spurs will go as far as their "healthy" legs will take them. The Thunder aren't as good as they were last year. The loss of Harden is showing greatly especially in late game situations. Martin is playing exceptionally well, but he's not the play maker or defender Harden was for them. I expect West"brick" to continue jacking up a lot of shots every game and IMO it'll only spell doom for the thunder if he's having to do more. Kevin Durant has to be more aggressive in the offense from now on. I hope the Rockets make the playoffs as an eight seed. I think Harden and Lin (mostly Harden) can carry them that far.
The Miami Heat are still looking formidable with the highest scoring offense, but they need to pick it up defensively. Also, Wade has to stay healthy. The Celtics still don't have an offensive identity, but that will come in time. Their bench this year has been playing really good especially when the starters are flat. The Knicks are have been a surprising case. I just wonder if they'll continue playing that way when Amare comes back. The Nets continue to improve with every game. They'll be a high seed in the playoffs this year perhaps 3rd or 4th. The Bobcats are playing a lot better so far. They're finally playing with confidence in themselves.

Lost to arguably the worst team in the league tonight. Kudos Celtics
Just a thought I think Philly really took a bad gamble on Andrew Bynum.
