    Jeremy Lin not being used to his full potential?

    To be fair... the Lakers roster doesn't even look like a proper roster, and the Rockets exchanged Parsons for Ariza. Overall, I feel it's too early in the season to decide if Lin was the problem in the Rockets roster, as it's only been 9 games (though 8-1 is really good for 9 games) McHale also...

    Remembering the Bad Boys

    Ah, although I missed the Bad Boys era, I've heard much about their defensive and physical style of play. But yeah, I feel that rivalries today are much softer than what I heard and I would speculate of rivalries in the past... especially with a completely different style of play in the NBA and...

    Does playoffs potential exist?

    I'm actually pretty surprised at your choice of the Miami Heat... honest question, but what do you think their strong and weak points are. I haven't really been watching Heat games that much, and thus don't know how to rate them that much, but their record isn't that excellent. I'm probably...

    Thoughts on the subpar season so far from the Nuggets?

    We all know... the Nuggets are at a disappointing 2-6 record so far. I sort of expected it, as their roster wasn't really that good, especially since they have no superstar they can rely on consistently and a majority of the nights. However, I'm interested in your thoughts about the Nuggets...

    High Schoolers Entering the Draft

    Yeah I completely agree, let the one's who love school stay for a while, but encourage others to get at least one year of education. Although I had previously stated to leave it up to them, I do think your idea is also reasonable too. One year won't delay that much, and you get the proper...

    Favorite Celtic of All Time

    I agree with you... Bird was a pretty impressive player, and I particularly found his play style fun to watch, especially in a competitive era of NBA Basketball. Although Russell won much more and is probably can be regarded as one of if not the best Celtic of all time, my favorite vote still...

    How long will it take for the Knicks to rebuild?

    I would estimate it would take around 2-3 years... depending on whether they can acquire a good player to support Melo or if their current players gain more experience and start to improve rapidly. At the very least, it would probably take 1-2 seasons to get close to or into the playoffs again...

    Best NBA game?

    As this guy said - the NBA 2k. Especially 2k14... although quite old now, it has given me hours and hours of entertainment, and although I didn't play a boatload of hours a day, it still seemed that the possibilities for playing were endless. I never got bored (probably a lot to do with the...

    Best NBA Player Ever

    I do agree with you- it's highly debatable. Especially since the different "players of the decade" usually don't overlap very much, and if they do, one is in their prime and the other is inexperienced or worn out. However, despite this, I would say that Michael Jordan is the best player of all...

    Improvements needed for a Championship to the Cavs?

    I completely agree. The chemistry between both the coach/players and the players/players seems to be off, as shown by their play so far, and it also seems that the teamwork is not there when you compare their play to a team like last year's Spurs. Either way, something has to click for them to...

    Improvements needed for a Championship to the Cavs?

    The Cavs are obviously rated very high and considered a very good team as of right now. However, they did not put up a good showing in the first few games of the season, and although they're a bit better now, they're still only 3-3. So that's why I wanted to ask y'all: What improvements...

    Jeremy Lin not being used to his full potential?

    As an Asian myself and a follower of almost all of the NBA teams, I feel that, although he still needs to get used to his new team and home, he's for the most part better off in the Lakers. He was an excellent player, supported by his breakout season with the Knicks, however, McHale never had...

    Why do you love basketball?

    I started liking basketball when I was younger, mostly because of my father's love for it. He would watch his favorite team play, such as the Rockets or the Cavs. As I started to grow older, I had friends who also played basketball, and I eventually myself started playing it too. My first...

    Who will be the next franchise player of Dallas?

    Although I'm over a year late, I'll weigh my opinion on this topic to maybe revive this thread: I feel that Chandler Parsons has the potential to become a franchise player. Although he seems like a drastic downgrade from Nowitzki, the guy can play his position with little flaws. As he gains...

    High Schoolers Entering the Draft

    In terms of high-school athletes, if you're Lebron James level (maybe only once in a couple of decades, though) or your family really needs the cash, I would say go for it. As long as you can rake in over several millions in total, you are set for years. Heck, even if you only make minimum...
