Looks like a good draft for Packers by Thompson Stew

[Minder]

Some trouncing handed out by the Warriors last night, does anyone think they sweep the entire playoffs ?

No. Never been done and there's no way Lebron would let his name be linked to the first team to do it.

If they can get Leonard back, the Spurs would nick one or two and the Cavs could/should do the same.

[gallsman]

Also worth pointing out that the Celtics, with the one seed in the East this year, will have the first pick in this year's draft thanks to them reaping the benefits of a shambles of a trade the Nets made a few years ago for the ghosts of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.

No chance, might sweep the Spurs but only because Leonard and to a lesser extent Parker are injured. Warriors have outscored the Spurs by 60 odd points since Leonard's injury, which is mad.

Cav's completely different kettle of fish. Lebron is the best player in the world and can win games on his own. Throw Irving, Love, Korver, Smith, Shupert and Thompson and you've got some depth there. Even with KD this year, I think the Warriors (if both teams are in the final) will be in for one hell of battle.

Anyone but the Warriors.

Anyone but the Warriors.

Why? Because they added Durant?

If anything, Cleveland's superteam building has been worse.

Any team that has LeBron can attract big talent. What Durant did to OKC shouldnt be rewarded.

Bullshit!

KD owed them nothing, absolutely nothing, they did not do enough to keep him nor attract top talent, that said Oklahoma is a desperate state, very poor in many places and not at all attractive to mega millionaires that throw a ball into a hoop for a living.

[Syferus]

Durant had this season's MVP and a fellow Top 5 player in the league with him in OKC. Even earlier he had Harden too on top of that. No one can make the case management didn't build a championship caliber team for Durant, he just never got it done. OKC have some of the best crowds in the NBA and the players are treated like royalty in the locality.

Now he's coasting along with the team that was already the second best on the league.

Lebron was awful in the second half but the Celtics dug themselves out of a big home and deserve credit.

The game winning shot was laughable - Cleveland inexplicably collapsed and left Bradley open. The shot bounced around the rim about five times before dropping by they all count!

Took the night off, it happens in the nba

Normal service resumed in the East, although surprisingly in spite of Lebron rather than because of him.
