I was at a casino yesterday, walked past a TV, and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the Suns up by 20+. Woo hoo! There's a great internet meme going around that says Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant spent their careers playing hurt and trying to convince people they weren't, while LeBron James spends his entire career trying to convince people he's hurt when he isn't. Being the GOAT is more than just being the best player, and that's where James fails in my eyes. It will be interesting to see where and how hard LeBron lays blame. Chris Paul, on the other hand, improves every team he's on. It was such a thrill when he got drafted in 2005 and spent two years playing in Oklahoma City, where we watched him run a team.
Boy, those play-ins were a great idea. All four teams that made it to the playoffs through the play-in tournament (Memphis, Lakers, Washington, and Celtics) went out in the first round, three of the four in five games.
It'll be interesting to see how Paul's shoulder holds up and how they stand up to Denver. I don't think either Dallas or the Clippers can beat Utah this year. Utah and Phoenix in the Western conference finals?
I really don't want the Nets to make it to the finals on general principle but we'll see. The Bucks have been hot but can they stand up to Kyrie, Durant and Harden? We'll see.
