Believe it or not, Memphis is NOT currently the worst team in NBA history, they are the third-worst. The 2012 Charlotte Bobcats went 7W 59L (.106%) and the 1973 Philadelphia 76ers went 9W 73L (.110%) who Memphis can only equal in shittyness. www.landofbasketball.com/statistics/worst_seasons.htm |

Only a few games left. Will it be Philadelphia or Toronto for the Division Title (and the "3rd seed")?  Either way, it'll be Philly vs Toronto in the 1st round. Unless some bad luck happened to Indiana. |

why did the 2012 bobcats only play 66 games? The owners who already had enough money to own an NBA team wanted more money, so they told the players they would all have to take a 33% pay cut. The players said "no", so there was a lockout and a shortened season until the dispute was resolved and the owners managed to hack away a few percentage points of the full NBA revenues. |

I'd really prefer the lotto myself. Not only is it a lotto chance, but whoever out of myself and Vlade MAKES the playoffs could slip as far back as the 18th or maybe 19th pick depending on the records over the last few games. So, even if it's just 14th pick vs 18/19 or something, that's a pretty big deal possibly. Let alone the chance at a lotto hit.

And if JR Smith wasn't thrown in as a poison pill in the Knicks/Shump deal, the Cavs would be fucked right now. |

Love may not shoot a high % from 3, but he is "known" for shooting it from out there, so teams game plan around it. Where as Miller and Jones are just role players who don't see the floor much, and therefore aren't game planned around. I'm not saying Love % is excusable because he is game planned for, either. |

Love seems like a cool guy but I am not a fan of his game because he just stands there and shoots 3s on offense. I don't know how he broke some of Moses Malone's rebounding records, but he never bends his knees and refuses to box out on defense. While I realize Love's role supposedly dwarfs Miller and Jones, in reality he functions much like them but they can guard perimeter players when he cannot. Tristian Thompson may be the best rebounder in the league, so I am taking him over Love and its not even close. |

Jones and Miller are trash because anyone off the waiver wire can play their position and shoot 3s. Someone that can shoot 3s at the 4 and force the opponents 4 to come out of the paint is a godsend. Love probably has as much basketball ability as mike miller but because of his size he is much more valuable in a scheme. And at the end of the day that's all that matters. |

Him just standing there shooting 3s is what makes him effective clearing the paint for Irving and Lebron to get 1-2 and 1-1 match ups at the rim
Instead of the paint being clogged because no one has to worry about Tristan Thompson scoring from outside.

That's a decent point, but if all the Cavs want to do is spread the floor could not they simply play Lebron at the 4 and FORCE the other teams 4 to guard him and put in Mike Miller or James Jones? |

Lebron shouldn't be your floor spacer... He should be your primary scorer. You'd rather have Lebron shooting 3s and james jones driving to the basket then love shooting 3s and Lebron dunking on fools? |

Lebron plays the same way whether you call him the 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. The only thing it would do is make Lebron guard a post player on defense and put that post player into a tougher match up. |

If it's mike miller they can put their shortest worst defender on him and they can just double Lebron. |

When you have two great slashers on your team (Kylie and LBJ) it is literally retarded to have a post player playing the 4. |

I don't agree with you but okay, fine, for the sake of argument lets assume you want a "stretch 4" to space the floor. I contend that it does not matter with Lebron because Lebron can ACTUALLY play the 4, unlike guys like Durant, Harden, Westbrook, etc., and you can put in another guard. To this point, what is the difference functionally between these two line ups? I will denote the shooters in order to illustrate this point. PG: Irving SG: Smith (shooter)
SF: Shumpert (shooter)PF: Lebron C: Muzgov/Thompson OR PG: Irving SG: Smith/Shumpert (shooter)SF: Lebron PF: Love (shooter)C: Muzgov/Thompson |
