Indiana w/o Hill can easily lose the next two games. I'm not sure what to think about the Knicks since they seem to change 180 degrees from game to game.

Obviously your Golden State man-crush is over. Golden State is actually not in great shape moving forward as they are capped out, Jack and Landry are unrestricted FA, Bogut's health is always going to be an issue (of course as is Curry's) and they have no draft picks. Barnes could continue to improve as well as Thompson and Green but they don't have much else.

For what its worth. Miami over Indiana in 6 if its the Knicks its a sweep. San Antonio in 6.
Its not a man crush, I like young explosive teams. Im a fan of the game more than any team and Im a huge Lebron fan. In my slim days I used to be pretty dam good. I could fill up the stat sheet. I averaged 33-14-3-3 in CYO 7th-8th. Modified coach watched me play I made modified and I made JV at SHS. Tough, almost impossible to make that team. I had an NBA player as a teammate.
Anyway..... I dont think losing Jack or Landry is horrible. I also believe this is a soft draft. I mean Noel #1? I dont buy him at all. Cody Zeller got destroyed bad vs Cuse and he is top 7-8. The dude from Gtown, the big guy.... The Herd had a stat today....80% of his shot attempts were jumpers. What is he supposed to be?? An even worst Carmelo? I think this draft is bad.
Barnes took huge steps in the playoffs. Hopefully he is OK. I felt coming out he was the most NBA ready guy. Remember if he came out after his freshman year he was going #1. Him, Curry and Lee is solid enough. Clippers are not winning anything. Not with Blake Griffin and Jamal Crawford. Does anyone believe the Lakers are getting better? I respect Kobe, but what else do they have? THey wont go to Phil, and who knows if thats even an option anyway after the shots he took at Kobe. THis is Miamis league. This year and next. Rumor is they are in play for KG and Paul Pierce. 2 guys who might take way less and go get a ring. Plus Greg Oden is getting healthy and he would go to Miami, I read last week Pat Riley would take a chance. Point is, I love what Golden St is doing but for 2014 it wont matter. Lebron gets the 3peat.
