I've said it many times on here, of the top 15 players in the league, Paul George is the only one in the East who doesn't play on the Cavs. The elite talent of the league resides in the West. Nobody in the East can compete.

The league needs to adopt a 1-16 playoff format. In modern times, with all the time off between games, it's more than feasible. The final four right now should be GS, OKC, Cleveland and San Antonio.

I would at least make all division winners get a spot, but after that....best records.

And I liked Smits...but I think folks severely underrate Reggie...and I know you dont like him.
I don't use how I personally don't like a player to bash them. Has nothing to do with their play. Reggie Miller twice made NBA third team and the highest he ever reached in the MVP voting for his career was 8th place. I guess th league didn't like him much beyond his Knicks hijinks

Did you just diss the 80s Mavs?

You really prove you don't know JACK shyt about 80s ball.

Mark Aguire could create his own shot and averaged 27 ppg. Derrick Hatper is the greatest PG to never make an all star game averaging 17ppg, 7 assists and 2 steals per game.

Rolando Blackman who MMJ soar player better defense on him than any payer was one of the leagues best sharp shooters.

Ask the 80 Lakers about the Mavs.

They won 55 games in 87. Pushed the showtime Lakers to seven games. The REAL showtime Lakers, not th Vlade and Magic Lakers the Bulls faced. The nerve of you to think I'm talking out my ass about a team you don't know shyt about .

I hated them nikkaz b. :birdman:

:pachaha: it was no different when jordan and the bulls were runnin thru the east

the bulls were dominating all those teams the knicks gave em a challenge in 92 & 93 and the pacers in 98 everybody else were either swept or lost in 5
This Cavs team aren't either version of Mike's 3peat Bulls for obvious reasons and you just illustrated why it's not the same. The Knicks challenged them and the pacers challenged them. This Cavs team has yet to break a sweat against the trash in the East since Lebron came back.

They used to have me like :lupe:

Remember my interview with Derek Harper?

Dude said anytime he came to LA, Magic would invite him to stay at his crib. Said Magic would have big meals made for him while Magic are nothing. He said he later realized....his words " :ohhh: this niqqa trying to make me fat for the game!" So he stopped staying at his crib. :russ:

Who had zero ball to the floor game and couldn't create his own shots.

Mitch Richmond>>>>>>>>>> Reggie Miller

Why does it matter how he creates his shots if they generally went in? Miller consistently created open looks by movement.

And Richmond, christ. Not a chance in hell. Did Mitch Richmond ever win a playoff series on the KIngs?

Because when his shots weren't falling, he wasn't getting to the line or doing much else with his 17ppg average.

Mitch is not a GM. He was a better player....all around
