So the Knicks were going to come back and win by double digits and Cleveland were going to come back and win easy ? Can I get your early prediction for the line on Friday ?

Knicks will lose by 15
I can see it being a blow out as well. If the Nets are giving up around 5.5 or thereabouts I'm all over it.
Steve Kerr was no dummy for taking the GS job

Indeed. Talk about apples and oranges. They are definite contenders.
GS blowing out LAC (at least to the 3rd).
"They are definite contenders."
Assuming everyone (or at least Curry, Bogut, and Thompson) stay mostly healthy, yup.
I shot 8-13fg 4-8fg(3pt) and grabbed 8reb
While dropping 5 dimes along with 1 blk and 1 stl
Who am I?

They've looked poor since the start of preseason. Not sure if its just a phase or something more- their offseason moves were terrible. They have Crawford as really their only good bench player, and their starting SF is terrible. I'm not sold on Redick either. I think that teams over rated.

I'm not convinced that they're contenders. Kind of remind me of those Suns teams that always did well in the regular season, but could never get to the finals. Still, the West is slightly weaker than people anticipated this year, so you never know.
no mention of the beast leader that is kyle lowry
starting frontcourt hurt, 4th game in 5 nights and lowry just beasted in boston against rondo + smart's defense...the dude is a bonafide leader and winner.

people are finally starting to notice. would love to go back to last seasons threads about him ... people are clueless.
I'm watching the Portland game and I'm impressed with what I see from Thomas Robinson, CJ McCullom, Will Barton, Meyers Leonard and Joel Freeland. They really got those guys rotting on the bench.

I think the Blazers declined Thomas Robinsons option, so he'll be a UFA in the offseason- kind of surprised me as he seems to be doing okay for them as a backup PF

Robinson is a nice player. The only problem with him is that he is a little undersized for a PF. They have him listed as 6'10" but he is more like 6'8".

Spot on with my line prediction. Going ALL IN on that.

Stopped following them when Lin left. Can't argue with the record. Is it really his coaching though or is it just Harden becoming more of a 2 way player now? My understanding is that Harden has been playing some really good defense and his stint with the US National Team is to be thanked for. I also thought they had a downgade with Reezy but it looks like he is making a big difference with the defense. Reezy and Dwight are a good combination in the defensive front. They have had a pretty easy schedule so far. I want to see how they do against tougher competition. They man handled the Spurs so that is a start.
I still stand with what I saw last year. He was a bad coach last year. Just watch the series against the Blazers.

I think you can argue with their record- it's been ridiculously easy: Lakers, Jazz, Celtics, 76ers, Spurs resting Duncan and co. Only quality win was vs the Heat.

Which means you were never really providing yourself
With enough credibility to give an objective view of their team
I saw video of McHale yesterday teaching D-12 how to post
Something assistant coaches should be doing
If Harden is playing better D McHale can't get credit for this
Yeah Riza helps but appears McHale has made it real easy for him to transition into their system
It only goes to a player when the team performs well but when they
Perform bad then blame the coach, naaaahhhh not buying that

So my credibility is in question now? Dang dude. I was never shy about my view on Lin so there is that.
McHale was horrible last year. His offensive plays after timeouts were bad. His time management was bad. His substitution patterns were horrible. His defensive schemes were really bad. It got worse when Sampson left his staff.
No. Coaching to me is not if he can get a player to play to his abilities. This is pro ball. Their salary should be enough. To me, a coach should be able to perform those tasks I mentioned during the game.
McHale teaching Dwight is great. McHale is probably one of the greatest post player in history. So is this an indictment of his coaching, cause last time I checked Dwight still sucks in the post.
I am a big Reezy fan, once a knick..., I always thought he was a plug and play type of player.
If you are saying that I only blamed McHale last year then you are wrong. I mentioned in more than 1 occasion that Lin needed to cut TOs and needed to be more aggressive which will result in better play. I also blamed Harden for too much hero ball.
