Loving Lebron getting angry that he's not in control of a situation since he left for the heat. In other massive news.

um, safe and reliable signing I suppose. Don't know about this Birch kid.

The Warriors re-signed JaVale.

Who knew I'd ever be calling JaVale McGee the last piece of the puzzle?

Don't mind this at all, a steal (in this day and ages of NBA salaries) Hope he plays well and stays a few years.

You wonder what guys like Kevin Durant mean to the communities they came from, like Seat Pleasant, MD? This kinda tells you.

Apparently, the Cavs and Celtics are very close to trade: Irving for Thomas, Crowder and rookie center.

He ain't gonna be the man there in Boston. I don't think you can win a ring with Thomas in the starting line up. He's gonna get found out this year.

It's a very good deal for The Cavs.
Thomas is probably not as good as Kyrie but I have a feeling that you underrate him a bit. Plus they got Brooklyn's pick which is not going to be as good next year it's still a lottery pick. And Zizic is raw but may surprise a few people as the year goes on.

I think he was relying on the refs too much last year to bail him out, hoping for fouls that weren't there because of his size. I never understood this think about how great his 4th quarter performances were, I mean if he played well in the first 3 then he wouldn't need to have a big 4th all the time.

I don't know.
I think he was legitimately great. It's not like anyone else was lining up to lead Boston.
And yes he did win them a lot of ball games in the last quarter, I'm not sure how anyone can dispute that.

I'm not disputing it, I'm just saying I don't understand why it's seen as a great thing not to show up for 3 quarters and then suddenly arrive at the 4th.

Who says he wasn't showing up in the first 3 vquarters?

Considering he scores most of his points, by most I mean 75% of them, ALOT of people are saying that.

I'll have to check scoresheets but I very much doubt that this is true for a guy who averaged 30 ppg. He did not average 22 4th quarter points.

You'll forgive me if it's not 75% to the .0.

It's not even 50% Markus.
It tends to be exaggerated and he certainly took over a lot of times in the last quarter, especially when it was needed, but his production was pretty good throughout the game.
Anyway I find it having a player delivering in the clutch as a positive.

I sit corrected.

Still wouldn't like him on my team though. ;)

I didn't say he was a scrub, but he won't be average 28 again in his career. If he get anything above 20 he'll be lucky.
